First report of Bipolaris yamadae causing leaf blight on giant reed (Arundo donax L.) in Mexico and its pathogenicity on sorghum and maize

In August 2020, leaf blight was observed on Arundo donax L. plants in the municipalities of Ahome and El Fuerte, Sinaloa, Mexico. Molecular analysis of seven isolates revealed their identity as Bipolaris yamadae. Morphological characteristics were similar to those previously reported for the species...

Description
Summary:In August 2020, leaf blight was observed on Arundo donax L. plants in the municipalities of Ahome and El Fuerte, Sinaloa, Mexico. Molecular analysis of seven isolates revealed their identity as Bipolaris yamadae. Morphological characteristics were similar to those previously reported for the species. A pathogenicity test with a representative isolate confirmed this fungus as the causal agent of leaf blight on giant reed. Its virulence was also proved on maize and sorghum under controlled conditions. This is the first report worldwide of B. yamadae causing leaf blight on A. donax .
