- Common bean is a widely grown legume, and in February 2021, root rot symptoms were reported in two fields in Sinaloa, Mexico, affecting the cv. Azufrado Higuera with a disease incidence of up to 35%.
- Diseased plants displayed reduced growth, dark brown cankers, and root issues, prompting researchers to isolate fungi from the affected roots using a specific sterilization and incubation process.
- The isolates were morphologically similar to identified species, underwent molecular analysis, and were deposited in a culture collection for future research, showing high genetic similarity in sequences.
