The disease The Fungus return to the Class Pyrenomycetes Order Diaporthales Agrios.2005.Plant pathology . The disease survives in the soil on infected cereal and grass residues. The fungus infects the root tissue of young plants and can spread from plant to plant in the form of Hypha hyphae growing through the soil which is why the disease is often seen in patches. The fungus blocks the Xylem conductive tissue of the plants and reduces water uptake. Early signs of the disease include yellowing and stunting, tillering is reduced and plants mature prematurely and often exhibit bleached seed heads. The affected roots are blackened and the plants are easy to pull from the soil. ref cite web url http www.hannafords.com disease.php?id 6 title Hannaford Take all publisher Hannafords.com date accessdate 2012 02 01 ref These symptoms give rise to an alternative name for the disease, whiteheads .

The Plant pathology pathogen can infect and cause disease on the root where it is known as Common root rot wheat common root rot , leaf and stem, and head tissue. C.sativus is extremely rare in nature and thus it is the Asexual reproduction asexual or anamorphic stage which causes infections. The two most common diseases caused by B.sorokiniana are spot blotch and common root rot, mainly on wheat and barley crops. Identification The mycelium of B.sorokiniana is usually deep olive brown. New cultures produce abundant simple conidiophore s, which may be single or clustered and measure 6 10 x 110 220 m with septations. Conidia develop laterally from pores beneath each conidiophore setpum. Conidia are olive brown and ovate to oblong, with rounded ends and a prominent basal scar. They measure 15 28 x 40 120 m and are 3 to 10 septate. Some may be slightly curved. Their walls are smooth and noticeably thickened at the septa. ref name WheatCompendiu ... more details
