Phylogeographic Diversity Analysis of Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc.) Shoemaker Causing Spot Blotch Disease in Wheat and Barley.

ABSTRACT: Bipolaris sorokiniana is a fungal pathogen that infects wheat, barley, and other crops, causing spot blotch disease. The disease is most common in humid, warm, wheat-growing regions, with South Asia's Eastern Gangetic Plains serving as a hotspot. There is very little information known about its genetic variability, demography, and divergence period. The current work is the first to study the phylogeographic patterns of B. sorokiniana isolates obtained from various wheat and barley-growing regions throughout the world, with the goal of elucidating the demographic history and estimating divergence times. In this study, 162 ITS sequences, 18 GAPDH sequences, and 74 TEF-1α sequences from B. sorokiniana obtained from the GenBank, including 21 ITS sequences pro
