Rice is a staple food source for more than three billion people worldwide. However, rice is vulnerable to diseases, the most destructive among them being rice blast, which is caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae (anamorph Pyricularia oryzae). This fungus attacks rice plants at all stages of development, causing annual losses of approximately 10-30% in various rice producing regions. Syntheti...

This article presents the results of development a methodology for describing main morphological and cultural traits Pyricularia oryzae Cav. strains widespread in south Russia. At same time, types are identified listed, which make it possible to unambiguously determine uniqueness variety pathogen. The relationships patterns established using cluster statistical analysis identify conditions path...

Rice blast, caused by Pyricularia oryzae, is one of the most destructive rice diseases worldwide. It essential to understand population structure and race distribution P. oryzae for prevention control blast. This study collected 1584 isolates across Jiangsu province from 2003 2017 determine diversity, common dominant structures, resistance profiles using eight parameters Chinese differential cu...

The family Magnaporthaceae considered as a single-family placed in the order Magnaporthales. Currently, three distinct clades are phylogenetically distinguished in this order that one is referred as the Pyriculariaceae. The Pyriculariaceae is characterized as a novel family having new genera, new species, new combinations and neotypification (basionym). To taxonomically evaluate this family, an...

The concept of fastidious microorganisms currently found in scientific literature is mainly related to the difficulty isolating/culturing/preserving bacteria. Eukaryotes are investigated much less this respect, although they represent a fundamental part microbial world. Furthermore, not only isolation, but also identification and culturing (in perspective long-term preservation) should be consi...
