Community structure of fungal pathogens causing spikelet rot disease of naked oat from different ecological regions of China

Abstract Spikelet rot disease (SRD) is an emerging disease of the grain surface of naked oat in China that affects both grain yield and quality. The typical symptom is discoloration from the black structures of the causal fungi. Here, we investigated the fungal communities on the grain surfaces of c...
