First report of Bipolaris sacchari causing wheat stem-base disease in Iran
Plant Pathology 55 (2), 305-305
Abstract: In 2003, wheat plants in several fields in Hamada, Iran showed symptoms of root rot and crown necrosis. A fungus was isolated from diseased plants which was identified as Bipolaris sacchari, based on the host origin, conidia and conidiophore morphology, number of pseudosepta and hilum characteristics. Pathogenicity was demonstrated by inoculation and re-isolation.
