Genetic and Pathogenic Variability among Isolates of <i>Sporisorium reilianum</i> Causing Sorghum Head Smut

Genetic and Pathogenic Variability among Isolates of <i>Sporisorium reilianum</i> Causing Sorghum Head Smut

<i>Sporisorium reilianum</i>, the causal agent of sorghum (<i>Sorghum bicolor</i> (L.) Moench) head smut, is present in most sorghum-producing regions. This seed replacement fungal disease can reduce yield by up to 80% in severely infected fields. Management of this disease c...
