The Pharma Innovation Journal 2021; 10(6): 264-268 ISSN (E): 2277- 7695 ISSN (P): 2349-8242 NAAS Rating: 5.23 Symptomology, biology and management of Alternaria TPI 2021; 10(6): 264-268 © 2021 TPI leaf spot of mustard (Brassica spp.) www.thepharmajournal.com Received: 24-04-2021 Accepted: 30-05-2021 Ramesh Kumar and Poonam Shete Ramesh Kumar Department of Plant Pathology, Abstract School of Agriculture, Lovely Oilseed Brassica spp. is one of the most important diseases of oilseed crop in the world. Rapeseed Professional University, mustard are susceptible to a number of diseases which is caused by the living (biotic) pathogen. It is also Phagwara, Punjab, India known as Alternaria black spot diseases surrounded with yellow colours on the leaves which is known to be the most destructive diseases in the world. This disease is generally characterised by the different Poonam Shete names which are as follows, Alternaria brassica, Alternaria brassicola and Alternaria raphani. Department of Plant Pathology, Alternaria leaf spot pathogen produces lesion around the leaves, stem, and the Silique which cause School of Agriculture, Lovely reduction in defoliation. These pathogens are seed borne, soil borne, and airborne diseases. Alternaria Professional University, leaf spot diseases caused by the heavy rainfall and the weather with the highest diseases incidence. The Phagwara, Punjab, India Conidia, age of the host plant is also responsible for severity of the diseases. This disease is more 0 prominent during the summer seasons where the temperature falls 27- 28 C. This paper also determines the development of Alternaria leaf blightin Mustard crop in relation to the pathogen such as taxonomy, biology, epidemiology and their management through biological, chemical, cultural and botanical approaches. -

We report that Sordariaceae, with the exclusion Apodus and Diplogelasinospora, is a monophyletic group. Apodus and Diplogelasinospora are Keywords: related to Lasiosphaeriaceae. Multiple gene analyses suggest that the spore sheath is not Ascomycota a phylogenetically significant character to segregate Asordaria from Sordaria. Smooth- Gelasinospora spored Sordaria species (including so-called Asordaria species) constitute a natural group. Neurospora Asordaria is therefore congeneric with Sordaria. Anixiella species nested among Gelasinospora Sordaria species, providing further evidence that non-ostiolate ascomata have evolved from ostio- late ascomata on several independent occasions. This study agrees with previous studies that show heterothallic Neurospora species to be monophyletic, but that homothallic ones may have a multiple origins. -

Tissue fragments were analyzed on potato-glucose agar (PDA) and maltose (MA) (Difco) media using standard laboratory techniques. Cultures were identified using classi- cal and molecular methods. Macro- and microscopic colony morphology was characteristic of fungi from the genus Aspergillus (restricted growth series), most probably Aspergillus penicillioides Speg. Molecular analysis of the following rDNA regions: ITS1, ITS2, 5.8S, 28S rDNA, LSU and β-tubulin were carried out for the isolates studied. A high level of similarity was found between sequences from certain rDNA regions, i.e. ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 and LSU, what confirmed the classification of the isolates to the species A. penicillioides. The classification of our isolates to A. penicillioides species was confirmed also by the phylogenetic analysis.
