“…Several soilborne pathogen species occurring worldwide on cereals are caused by agents of wheat common root and crown rot (Sallans, 1965). In this study, the predominant pathogens implicated in causing common root and crown rot was B. sorokiniana.…”

“…In this regards, some studies demonstrated that some Fusarium species form mycorrhizae in annual plants and when the host were weakened, the Fusarium making mycorrhizae pass from symbiotic relationship to parasitism (Sallans, 1965). It is an open aspect for further studies about these Fusarium roles in symbiotic relationship and plant nutrition.…”

“…The term, "common root and crown rot" has been widely used to designnate a group of complex disease that is characterized by blighting, stunting and death of seedling, stunting of mature plants, necrotic lesions on seminal and crown roots, subcrown internodes, crown and stem tissue. Later in the season, other symptoms arise such as the premature death of tillers with little or no grain in wheat plants as well as other small grain cereals similar to but distinct from take-all disease (Sallans, 1965). Common root and crown rot is caused by several different soil borne pathogens, but it is demonstrated that the most important cause of the common root and crown rot complex is known as the fungus, Bipolaris sorokiniana (Telemorph; Cochliobolus sativus Ito and Kuribayashi).…”

“…The telemorph stage is rarely found under natural condition (Mathre et al, 2003), and was first found in Zambia where two different mating types must appear together (Kumar et al, 2002;Raemarkers, 1988) and usually does not develop in culture unless in the presence of opposite mating types (Mathre et al, 2003;Kumar et al, 2002). It is said that in addition to Crocus sativus, several species of Fusarium are associated in the common root and crown rot complex (Windels and Holen, 1989;Wiese, 1987;Sallans, 1965). Fusarium is one of the most ubiquitous abundant and important genera of soil microflora (Leslie and Summerell, 2006;Nirenberg, 1990;Nelson et al, 1983;Booth, 1971).…”

“…Several Fusarium species are widespread pathogen causal agent of brown foot rot of cereals, especially in both temperate and semitropical areas (Windels and Holen, 1989;Wiese, 1987;Sallans, 1965). Also two species of Curvularia (C. ramose and C. speciefera) are included in common root and crown rot complex (Sallans, 1965).…”

Wheat root and crown rot (Triticum aestivum L.) is a disease problem in many wheat producing area as well as Moghan wheat growing area, Northwest of Iran. In this study, injured plants of wheat with blighting, stunting, and death of mature plants, also necrotic lesions on seminal crown roots, sub crown internodes and crown, as well as basal stem tissue symptoms were collected from different regions of Moghan wheat growing area. Fungi associated with wheat root and crown rot were isolated and identified based on general colony morphology, the morphology of mycelia, reproductive structure and taxonomic description. Also pathogenicity of 28 selected isolates from various identified species was determined on wheat (T. aestivum L. CV. Atila 4; a common grown cultivar of wheat in Moghan area) seedlings. The results indicated that the predominant pathogens implicated in causing common root and crown rot in this study was Bipolaris sorokiniana. In addition to B. sorokiniana, Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium Pseudograminearum and Gaeumannomyces/Phiallophora complex are the most widely distributed species on wheat growing belt in Moghan area. Fusarium solani, Fusarium crookwellence, Fusarium clamidosporum, Fusarium proliferatum, Fusarium poa, Fusarium udum and Fusarium babinda are wheat root associated species of Fusarium ascertained during our investigation. Pathogenicity test revealed that B. sorokiniana, F. culmorum, F. graminearum, F. crookwellence, F. udum and Gaeumannomyces/Phiallophora complex are active pathogens and others are saprophytes, which are also involved in the destruction of root tissues, without being the cause of injury.
