About 100 single-lesion isolates obtained from representative leaf samples from four fields of CSH 9 and one field of a local sorghum cultivar (LSC) were characterized and compared for morphological and pathogenic variability. The representative single-lesion isolates and their derivatives varied significantly for morphological traits - colony color, growth pattern, spore size and sporulation rate on oatmeal agar medium. These isolates also exhibited significant variation for latent period, virulence, aggressiveness, and virulence index on a set of sorghum differential lines in a greenhouse test. The isolate from the LSC, although differed morphologically from those of CSH 9, did infect CSH 9 and its parental lines, indicating a virulence shift in the C. graminicola population from the local sorghum to hybrid CSH 9. date: 2001 date_type: published publication: Indian Phytopathology volume: 54 number: 3 publisher: Indian Phytopathological Society pagerange: 299-303 refereed: TRUE issn: 0367-973X related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Characterization+of+Colletotrichum+graminicola+populations+from+a+sorghum+hybrid+CSH+9+for+morphological+and+pathogenic+variability&num=10&btnG=Search+Scholar&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_pub related_url_type: author citation: Mathur, K and Thakur, R P and Rao, V P (2001) Characterization of Colletotrichum graminicola populations from a sorghum hybrid CSH 9 for morphological and pathogenic variability.
