Wheat common bunt caused by (Kühn) and (Bjerk.) Wint., is one of the world's most destructive diseases (He et al., 2022). In June 2022, we observed wheat common bunt symptoms in ten fields of city Mingora in Swat District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan (35.2227°N, 72.4258°E) with spring cultivar Galaxy 2013. The corresponding disease heads were collected to isolate and characterized the causal agent of wheat common bunt. Teliospores morphology, germination, and disease symptoms revealed that fungal isolates belong to , which cause common bunt disease of wheat. After Koch's postulates, the artificially inoculated plants showed similar symptoms to those observed in the fields with same teliospores morphology and germination. was also confirmed through molecular characterization using sequence characterized amplification region (SCAR) markers specific for and obtained 660 bp bands from leaves, stem and heads from artificially inoculated plants. Therefore, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of causing common bunt in Mingora, Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

黑穗病在巴基斯坦开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省斯瓦特地区引发了常见的小麦短打病


由 (Kühn) 和 (Bjerk.) Wint. 引起的小麦常见病害是世界上最具破坏性的疾病之一（He et al., 2022）。 2022年6月，我们在巴基斯坦开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省斯瓦特县明戈拉市（北纬35.2227°，东经72.4258°）的10块田地中，用春品种Galaxy 2013观察到了小麦常见的短打症状。收集了相应的病头，进行了分离和鉴定。小麦常见短打病的致病因子。冬孢子的形态、萌发和发病症状表明该真菌分离株属于引起小麦常见短打病的真菌。根据科赫假设，人工接种的植物表现出与田间观察到的相似的症状，具有相同的冬孢子形态和萌发情况。还通过使用特定于人工接种植物的叶、茎和头的序列特征扩增区 (SCAR) 标记的分子表征证实了这一点，并获得了 660 bp 的条带。因此，据我们所知，这是巴基斯坦开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省明戈拉、斯瓦特地区首次发生常见短打的报道。
