Article Synopsis
- - Elephant grass (Cenchrus purpureus) is an efficient CO2 sequester and a promising source for biodiesel and cattle feed, but it has recently shown signs of a disease causing necrotic leaf spots in Brazil's Tocantins state, affecting both young and mature leaves significantly during the rainy season.
- - Infected leaves were collected and processed in a lab, revealing fungal colonies that exhibited distinct morphological characteristics, such as greyish coloration and curved conidia, indicating a specific type of fungal infection.
- - DNA analysis identified the fungal isolate as Curvularia chiangmaiensis, with a high genetic similarity to known reference sequences, suggesting a potential link to the observed disease impacting elephant grass in the region.*
