Virulence perspective genomic research unlocks the secrets of associated with banded sheath blight in Barnyard Millet ().

Introduction: Banded sheath blight (Bsb) disease, caused by , is an emerging problem in barnyard millet cultivation. One of the significant goals of pathogenomic research is to identify genes responsible for pathogenicity in the fungus.

Methods: A virulence profiling-based approach was employed and six isolates were collected from various ecological zones of India.

First Confirmed Report of Leaf Blight on Browntop Millet Caused by Bipolaris setariae in Southern Peninsular India.

Browntop millet (Brachiaria ramosa (L.) Stapf), which is native to the United States, was recently introduced into India as one of the small millet crop. In September 2018, leaf blight symptoms were observed on cv.

First report of Alternaria alternata causing leaf blight on little millet (Panicum sumatrense) in India.

Little millet (LM) is a minor cereal crop grown in the Indian sub-continent. During October 2018, dark brown, circular to oval necrotic spots surrounded by concentric rings were observed on the upper leaf surface of the LM (cv. VS-13) grown in the fields of the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, India (13.
