Abstract excerpt
The blast pathogen, Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most destructive fungal pathogens of rice worldwide, yet its morphological features, genetic diversity and population structure in Northeast India remain poorly understood. In this study, twenty‒two M. oryzae isolates collected from eight states of Northeast India were characterized using morphological, molecular, and population genetic analyses. Morphological...
