Impact of Different Cultural Media on Growth and Sporulation of Magnaporthe grisea Causing Blast of Finger Millet

Tharana Poonacha T., Poojashree, Arti, Anusha M. Nayak, Farooq Khan & K. B. Palanna · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2024

Finger millet (Eleusine coracana), a vital cereal crop, suffers significant yield losses due to blast disease caused by Magnaporthe grisea. Understanding the sporulation dynamics of the pathogen is crucial for elucidating its biology, infection mechanisms, and epidemiology, as we...
