Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum sublineola is an important disease of cultivated sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) worldwide. Anthracnose is also common on the ubiquitous wild sorghum relative Johnsongrass (S. halepense). Analysis of repetitive molecular fingerprinting markers revealed that isolates of...
