An Overview of Species Associated with Plant Diseases.

The genus contains several species that are important plant pathogens. Plant pathogenic spp. affect agricultural crops in the field as well as after harvest, often associated with corn ear rot, cotton boll rot, peanut yellow mold, black mold of onion and garlic, fruit rot on grapes, pomegranates, olives, citrus, and apples. Coffee berries and coffee beans as well as tree nuts are also frequently infected by spp. Some of the plant pathogenic spp. are also mycotoxigenic, produced mycotoxin in the plant tissues leading to contamination of agricultural products. Over the years, reports of plant diseases caused by in various crops have increased, suggesting they are commonly encountered plant pathogens. This review focuses on agricultural crops or cultivated plants infected by spp. The compilation of plant pathogenic spp. provides information to mycologists, particularly those involved in plant pathology and crop protection, with updated information on plant diseases caused by various species of . The updated information also includes the locality or location, province, state and the country. The knowledge on the prevalence and geographic distribution of plant pathogenic spp. is beneficial in the application of crop protection.
