moderately fast and attain a 4.32-cm diam in 5 d.<br />

They are slightly zonated, thickly felted, and grayish,<br />

becoming light outward. On the reverse side of the<br />

agar plate, the colony is azonated, black, and lighter<br />

outward. At 21 °C under alternating 12-h NUV light<br />

and 12-h darkness, colonies grow moderately fast<br />

and attain a 4.14-cm diam in 5 d. They are azonated,<br />

becoming markedly zonated outward, felted, yellowish<br />

to greenish gray, with a 0.5-cm sterile white margin.<br />

On the reverse side of the agar plate, the colony<br />

appears zonated and black and light outward. At 28<br />

°C under alternating 12-h light and 12-h darkness,<br />

colonies grow moderately fast and attain a 4.33-cm<br />

diam in 5 d. They are zonated, felted, and greenish<br />

gray. On the reverse side of the agar plate, the colony<br />

is zonated and black and yellowish brown outward.<br />

Colonies on potato sucrose agar (PSA) incubated<br />

at ART (28–30 °C) grow moderately fast and<br />

attain a 4.18-cm diam in 5 d. They are deeply felted,<br />

zonated with an even margin, and gray. The colony<br />

appears zonated and black on the reverse side of the<br />

agar plate. At 21 °C under alternating 12-h NUV and<br />

12-h darkness, colonies grow moderately fast and<br />

attain a 4.36-cm diam in 5 d. They are slightly zonated<br />

with a light gray submerged advancing margin,<br />

felted, and dark greenish gray. The colony appears<br />

slightly zonated, black, and lighter outward on the<br />

reverse side of the agar plate. At 28 °C under alternating<br />

12-h light and 12-h darkness, colonies grow<br />

moderately fast and attain a 4.06-cm diam in 5 d.<br />

They are zonated, felted with a sinuate margin, yellowish<br />

to greenish gray, and lighter at the margins.<br />

The colony appears zonated and black, and yellowish<br />

brown outward on the reverse side of the agar<br />

plate.<br />

Colonies on malt extract agar (MEA) incubated<br />

at ART (28–30 °C) grow moderately fast and attain a<br />

4.53-cm diam in 5 d. They are zonated, felted, and<br />

light gray to gray. The colony appears zonated and<br />

black on the reverse side of the agar plate. At 21 °C<br />

under alternating 12-h NUV and 12-h darkness, colonies<br />

grow moderately fast and attain a 4.47-cm diam<br />

in 5 d. They are azonated, becoming markedly zonated<br />

outward, and white to yellowish gray and becoming<br />

gray outward. The colony appears zonated<br />

and black with a light gray margin on the reverse side<br />

of the agar plate. At 28 °C under alternating 12-h<br />

fluorescent light and 12-h darkness, colonies grow<br />

moderately fast and attain a 4.90-cm diam in 5 d.<br />

They are zonated, felted, and greenish gray, becoming<br />

gray at the margins. The colony appears slightly<br />

zonated and black on the reverse side of the agar<br />

plate.<br />

Bipolaris oryzae (Breda de Haan) Shoem.<br />

syn. Drechslera oryzae (Breda de Haan) Subram. & Jain<br />

Helminsthosporium oryzae<br />

teleomorph: Cochliobolus miyabeanus (Ito & Kurib)<br />

Disease caused: brown spot (brown leaf spot or<br />

sesame leaf spot)<br />

Helminsthosporium blight<br />

a. Symptoms<br />

On leaves—small and circular dark brown or<br />

purple brown spots eventually becoming oval<br />

(similar to size and shape of sesame seeds) and<br />

brown spots with gray to whitish centers, evenly<br />

distributed over the leaf surface; spots much<br />

larger on susceptible cultivars. A halo relating to<br />

toxin produced by the pathogen often surrounds<br />

the lesions.<br />

On glumes—black or brown spots covering the<br />

entire surface of the seed in severe cases. Under<br />

favorable environments, conidiophore and conidia<br />

may develop on the spots, giving a velvety appearance.<br />

Coleoptile—small, circular, or oval brown spots.<br />

b. Occurrence/distribution<br />

Brown spot is distributed worldwide and reported<br />

in all rice-growing countries in Asia, America,<br />

and Africa (Fig. 9). It is more prevalent in rainfed<br />

lowlands and uplands or under situations with abnormal<br />

or poor soil conditions.<br />

c. Disease history<br />

This fungus was first described in 1900 and<br />

named as Helminthosporium oryzae. In Japan, the<br />

teleomorph was found in culture and was named<br />

Ophiobolus miyabeanus. However, Drechsler<br />

decided it belonged to Cochliobolus and renamed<br />
