Bipolaris sorokiniana (teleomorph Cochliobolus sativus) is the causal agent of common root
rot, leaf spot disease, seedling blight, head blight, and black point of wheat and barley. The
fungus is one of the most serious foliar disease constraints for both crops in warmer growing
areas and causes significant yield losses. High temperature and high relative humidity
favour the outbreak of the disease, in particular in South Asia's intensive 'irrigated wheat–
rice'production systems. In this article, we review the taxonomy and worldwide distribution …
