Our results showed that Alternaria alternata was the predominant species among these areas.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Seed borne mycoflora of 23 sorghum seed samples collected from different localities of Turkey was investigated using blotter, agar plate and deep freezing methods as recommended by ISTA. 19 species (Absidia sp, Acremoniella sp., Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus sp., Cladosporium sp., Curvularia lunata, Drechslera tetramera, Epicoccum sp., Fusarium avenaceum, Fusarium nygamai, Fusarium proliferatum, Fusarium semitectum, Fusarium subglutinans, Fusarium verticillioides, Penicillium spp., Rhizopus sp.) of 23 sorghum seed samples were determined to be new records for Turkey which belong to 11 genera.

Abstract
Seed borne mycoflora of 23 sorghum seed samples collected from different localities of Turkey was investigated using blotter, agar plate and deep freezing methods as recommended by ISTA. 19 species (Absidia sp, Acremoniella sp., Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus sp., Cladosporium sp., Curvularia lunata, Drechslera tetramera, Epicoccum sp., Fusarium avenaceum, Fusarium nygamai, Fusarium proliferatum, Fusarium semitectum, Fusarium subglutinans, Fusarium verticillioides, Penicillium spp., Rhizopus sp.) of 23 sorghum seed samples were determined to be new records for Turkey which belong to 11 genera. Our results showed that Alternaria alternata was the predominant species among these areas. Higher number of fungi was isolated by using deep-freezing method as compared to agar and blotter methods
