First report of Rhizoctonia solani AG2-1 on roots of wheat in Kazakhstan. Plant Disease, 105(11), 3744.0191-29171943-7692http://dx.doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-04-21-0786-PDNhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12491/11113In June 2019, approximately 20 tillers of wheat (Triticum aestivumL.)were sampled at the ripening stage (Feekes scale 11) from four differentfields in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Brown lesions (3 to 5 mm in length) were pre-sent on the roots of sampled plants, with 20% incidence. To determine thecausal agent, diseased roots were surface disinfected in sodium hypochloritesolution (1%) for 3 min, rinsed three times with sterile distilled water, air-driedinalaminarflow hood, and plated onto one-fifthstrengthpotatodex-trose agar (PDA) supplemented with 50 ppm chloramphenicol. After 3 days,the hyphal fragments that developed from the sections were transferred tofresh PDA and incubated at 23C with a 12-h photoperiod for 7 days toobtain pure cultures. Brown pigmented fungal colonies with a constriction atthe base of hyphal branches, septa near the branching point, and right-angledbranching resemblingRhizoctonia solaniwere observed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRhizoctonia SolaniFungiField CropsWheatDisease Development and SpreadEditorial10.1094/PDIS-04-21-0786-PDN10511340324872-s2.0-85122767319Q1WOS:000756448800066Q1
