Cercospora zeina is the causal agent of grey leaf spot disease of maize in southern Africa

2009-08-01

Abstract excerpt

The aim of our study was to identify the causal agent of grey leaf spot disease of maize in southern Africa. Single-conidial cultures were recovered from maize leaves with typical disease symptoms sampled from several fields in South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Morphology, cultural characteristics, and a PCR-based test using Cercospora zeae-maydis and C. zeina-specific primer sets identified all single-conidial c...
