@article{Sultana_Bashar_Shamsi_2022, title={Pathogenic Potentiality of Fungi Isolated from Seeds of Twenty BRRI Released Rice Varieties (Oryza Sativa L.)}, volume={6}, url={https://www.bioresearchcommunications.com/index.php/brc/article/view/44}, abstractNote={<p>Twenty-five species of fungi were isolated from the seeds of twenty rice varieties (BRRI dhan 56 to BRRI dhan 75) collected from Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI). The fungi were isolated from the samples following “Tissue Planting” method and “Blotter” methods. The isolated fungi were <em>Alternaria alternata</em> Keissler, <em>A. tenuissima</em> Samuel Paul Wiltshire<em>, Aspergillus flavus</em> Link, <em>A. fumigatus Fresen</em>., <em>A. niger</em> Tiegh., <em>A. ochraceus</em> K.Wilh., <em>A. terreus</em> Thom., <em>Bipolaris multiformis</em> (Jooste) Alcorn, <em>B. oryzae</em> (Breda de Haan) Shoemaker, <em>B. sorokiniana</em> (Sacc.) Shoemaker, <em>Chaetomium globosum</em> Kunze ex Fr., <em>Curvularia lunata</em> (Wakker) Boedijn, <em>Fusarium equiseti</em>, (Corda) Saccardo., <em>F. fujikuroi</em> Nirenberg, <em>F. oxysporum</em> Schltdl., <em>F. proliferatum</em> (Matsush.) Nirenberg, <em>Microdochium fisheri</em> Hern.- Restr. & Crous., <em>Nigrospora oryzae</em> (Berk. & Br.), <em>Penicillium</em> Link., <em>Pestalotiopsis oxyanthi</em> Thum., <em>Phanerochaete chrysosporium</em> Burds., <em>Rhizopus stolonifer</em> (Ehrenb.) Vuill, <em>Sarocladium oryzae</em> (Sawada) W. Gams & D. Hawksw, <em>Syncephalastrum racemosum</em> Cohn ex J. Schrot. and <em>Trichoderma viride</em> Pers were isolated from the BRRI rice varieties. Among the isolated fungi, <em>Bipolaris oryzae, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium equiseti, F. fujikurori, Microdochium fisheri</em> and <em>Nigrospora oryzae</em> showed pathogenic potentiality following seed inoculation technique. These pathogenic fungi had remarkable effect on seed germination, root shoot length and mortality of rice seedlings. The present report is the first record of <em>Microdochium fisheri</em> as a pathogenic fungus for Bangladesh.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Bioresearch Communications - (BRC)}, author={Sultana, Tania and Bashar, MA and Shamsi, Shamim}, year={2022}, month={Jul.}, pages={810–814} }
