Two New Foliicolous Fungus on Pearl Millet – Tropical Forage from Bahraich (U.P.) India
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pathology: Research and Practice - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
During survey for the foliicolous fungi from diversified habitats of Bahraich (U.P.) India the authors came across an important crop for the locality Pennisetum typhoidis (L.) R. Br. which belongs to Plantae, Tracheobionta, Spermatophyta, Magnoliophyta, Lijiopsida, Commeliinidae, Cyperales, Poaceae the grass family is commonly called pearl millet, bulrush millet, cattail millet, candle millet, bajra, bajri etc. On critical study of pearl millet plants, we found the living leaves to be infected with Alternaria and Drechslera sp.. On critical morphotaxonomic study it was found to be new species and the same taxon has been described and illustrated as Alternaria penneseti sp. nov. and Drechslera rajendralla sp nov. The review of available literatures reveals that there has been no record of these fungus from India on this host so far. Therefore, this host for the two new species is a new record to Indian mycoflora from Bahraich (U.P) India.
