First Report of <i>Phaeoacremonium iranianum</i> Causing Olive Twig and Branch Dieback
Abstrak
In an olive orchard on the western part of Istria, Croatia, twig and branch dieback was observed on several olive trees. In total, seven samples from symptomatic trees were collected. Samples were analyzed, and four fungal isolates showed morphological similarities to the species <i>Phaeoacremonium.</i> One isolate, chosen as a representative, was taken for molecular identification and pathogenicity tests. Based on the DNA sequence data of the ITS, TUB, and EF1α gene regions, the isolate was identified as <i>P. iranianum</i>. Pathogenicity tests were conducted on detached olive branches and olive trees in the greenhouse. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of twig and branch dieback on olive caused by <i>Phaeoacremonium iranianum</i>.
