In February 2016, a new fungal disease was spotted in wheat fields across eight districts Bangladesh. The epidemic spread to an estimated 15,000 hectares, about 16 % of the cultivated area Bangladesh, with yield losses reaching up 100 %. Within weeks onset epidemic, we performed transcriptome sequencing symptomatic leaf samples collected directly from Bangladeshi fields. Reinoculation seedlings strains isolated infected grains showed blast symptoms on leaves but not rice. Our phylogenomic...
Abstract Wheat blast disease caused by a South American lineage of Magnaporthe oryzae Triticum ( MoT ) pathotype has emerged as serious threat to wheat production in Bangladesh since its first emergence 2016. Efficient and suitable methods for isolation, storage, inoculum molecular characterization the pathogen can help achieving target sustainable management relatively short period time. In this study, we aimed develop storage morphological identification isolates collected from...
The blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae is comprised of lineages that exhibit varying degrees specificity on about 50 grass hosts, including rice, wheat, and barley. Reliable diagnostic tools are essential given the pathogen has a propensity to jump new hosts spread geographic regions. Of particular concern wheat blast, which suddenly appeared in Bangladesh 2016 before spreading neighboring India. In these Asian countries, strains now co-occurring with destructive rice raising possibility...
Wheat blast disease caused by the Magnaporthe oryzae Triticum (MoT) pathotype exerts a significant impact on grain development, yield, and quality of wheat. The aim this study was to investigate morphological, physiological, biochemical, nutritional properties wheat cv. BARI Gom 24 under varying levels severity in spikes. Grain morphology, volume, weight, germination infected grains were significantly affected MoT. Biochemical traits specifically N, Ca, Mg, Fe content increased (up...
In February 2016, a new fungal disease was spotted in wheat fields across eight districts Bangladesh. The epidemic spread to an estimated 15,741 hectares, about 16% of cultivated area Bangladesh, with yield losses reaching up 100%. Within weeks the onset epidemic, we performed transcriptome sequencing symptomatic leaf samples collected directly from Bangladeshi fields. Population genomics analyses revealed that outbreak caused by wheat-infecting South American lineage blast fungus...
