Cochliobolus miyabeanus is an important plant pathogen because it causes a common and widespread rice disease that causes high level of crop yield losses. It was a major cause of the Bengal famine of 1943, where the crop yield was dropped by 40% to 90% and the death of 2 million people was recorded. [3]
Southern corn leaf blight (SCLB) is a fungal disease of maize caused by the plant pathogen Bipolaris maydis (also known as Cochliobolus heterostrophus in its teleomorph state). The fungus is an Ascomycete and can use conidia or ascospores to infect. [ 1 ]
The taxonomy of Cochliobolus, Bipolaris and Curvularia is confusing due to the frequent name changes and no clear morphological demarcation between Bipolaris and Curvularia. A phylogenetic analysis of Cochliobolus, Bipolaris and Curvularia species was performed using rDNA markers (ITS1, 5.8S, ITS2) and a 600 bp fragment of gpd (glyceraldehyde-3 ...
The fungal genus Cochliobolus includes 19 species, [1] it includes some plant pathogenic species such as Cochliobolus heterostrophus.A lot of former Cochliobolus species were transferred to either Curvularia or Bipolaris genera.
Mucoralean classification has traditionally been based on morphological, developmental, and ecological characteristics. Recently, molecular data has revealed that some aspects of traditional classification are quite artificial. For example, the Mucoraceae is believed to be polyphyletic, as are the Thamnidiaceae, Chaetocladiaceae and ...
The fungus Cochliobolus sativus is the teleomorph (sexual stage) of Bipolaris sorokiniana (anamorph) which is the causal agent of a wide variety of cereal diseases. The pathogen can infect and cause disease on roots (where it is known as common root rot ), leaf and stem, and head tissue.
Bipolaris sacchari is a fungal plant pathogen in the family Pleosporaceae. Bipolaris sacchari is an ascomycete fungal pathogen most notably affecting sugarcane. In its sexual stage, it produces spores housed in an ascus (a sac, usually with 8 spores inside).
