A total of nine species of fungi were found to be associated with seeds of nine varieties of chickpea. The isolated fungi were Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, A. fumigatus, A. nidulans, Curvularia lunata, Penicillium sp., Rhizopus stolonifer and Trichoderma viride. Association of fungi with chickpea seeds was recorded three times, within a week after harvest, after two and five months of storage. The fungal association varied with duration of storage period. Species of Aspergillus, Penicillium and Rhizopus become predominating fungi with increase of the storage period. The fungal association with seeds of chickpea also affects germination, seedling mortality and seedling height. Germination of BARI chola 6 and 7 were completely inhibited due to prevalence of Rhizopus stolonifer in the seeds examined within seven days of harvest. The total fungal infection in chickpea seeds was highest in BARI chola 8 (168) and lowest in BARI chola 1 (65).Journal of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Vol. 40, No. 1, 37-44, 2016

A total of seven species of fungi were isolated from seed samples of maize (Zea mays L.) collected from Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Joydebpur, Gazipur. Association of fungi with maize seeds was recorded three times viz., within a month after harvest, after three and six months of storage at 25°C and 4°C. The fungal association varied with duration of storage period. Seven fungi viz., Aspergillus flavus Link, A. fumigatus Fresenius, A. niger Van Teighem, Curvularia lunata (Wakker) Boedijn, Fsarium verticillioides, Penicillium italicum and Rhizopus stolonifer (Ehrenb.) Vuill., were isolated from the different maize varieties namely KhaiBhutta, Barnali, Mohor, Bari Misty Bhutta, BHM-3, BHM-5, BM-5, BHM-6, BHM-7, BM-7 and BHM-9. Species of Aspergillus, Penicillium and Rhizopus were predominating fung iwhich increased with the increase of storage period. Bioresearch Commu. 7(2): 1010-1018, 2021 (June)

The storage mycoflora associated with seeds of 21 accessions of Corchorus capsularis L. were isolated and identified. Blotter, Paper towel and Agar plate methods were used to isolate the fungi associated with seeds. A total of ten species of fungi viz. Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger, A. terreus, Curvularia lunata, Colletotrichum corchori, Fusarium oxysporum, Eurotium sp., Penicillium sp. and Rhizopus stolonifer were isolated from the selected jute seeds. Aspergillus spp. and Colletotrichum corchori were predominant in most of the jute accessions. Accession No. A-3047 showed the highest fungal incidence and Accession Nos. A-3361, A-2734 and A-877 showed the lowest. Accession No. A-3361 showed the highest seed germination while Accession No. A-3309 showed the lowest. Mortality of seedling showed the highest in Accession No. A-3309 and the lowest in Accession No. A-3361. Physical purity of seed recorded the highest in Accession No. A- 3361 and the lowest in Accession No. A-3309. There were negative correlation between percentage of fungi and percentage of germination and between percentage of fungi and physical purity of seeds. Positive correlation was observed between percentage of fungi and seedling mortality and between purity of seed and germination of seed.Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 25(1): 9-17, 2016

Among the isolated fungi, six, namely A. flavus, A. niger, C. lunata, F. moniliforme var. subglutinans, F. sporotrichioides and Rhizoctonia solani showed pathogenic potentiality following seed inoculation technique. These pathogenic fungi had remarkable effect on seed germination, root shoot length and mortality of cotton seedlings. Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 28(2): 187-193, 2019 (July)

Present paper deals with the occurrence and diversity of fungi on storage cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seeds. 24 species of the fungi were found associated with the seeds of 14 varieties of cotton after 10 months of storage. The isolated fungi were Aspergillus flavus Link, A. fumigatus Fresenius, A. niger (Type 1 and Type 2) Van Tiegh, A. ochraceus K. Wilhelm, A. nidulans Eidam, Aspergillus sp.1, Aspergillus sp.2, Aspergillus sp.3, Curvularia lunata (Wakker) Boedijn, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz & Sacc, C. gossypii Southw., Chaetomium globosum Kunze., Fusarium nivale (Fr.) Sorauer, F. moniliforme J. Shelden, F. oxysporum Schlechtendal, F. fujikuroi Nirenberg, Mucor sp. P. Micheli ex L., Penicillium sp.1 and sp.2 Link, Rhizoctonia solani Khun., Rhizopus stolonifer (Ehrenb.) Vuill., Rhizomucor Lucet & Costantin, Syncephalastrum racemosum Cohn and Trichoderma viride Pers. The association of fungi with cotton seeds was recorded within two months of harvest, after 6 and 10 months of storage. The association of fungi varied with duration of storage periods. Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger, Chaetomium globosum, Penicillium sp.1 and Rhizopus stolonifer were found in all the examined varieties. These were the most predominant fungi in terms of prevalence with the increase of storage periods. The fungal association with the seeds of cotton also affected the germination, seedling mortality, height and vigor. The total association of fungi in cotton seeds was the highest in cotton variety CB10 (204) and the lowest in CB8 (71). On the other hand, the total fungal association of Rhizopus stolonifer was the highest (337) and Colletotrichum gossypii was the lowest (1). J. Biodivers. Conserv. Bioresour.

Keissler, Aspergillus flavus Link., A. niger Van Tiegh., A. fumigatus Fresenius., A. nidulans Eidam, Curvularia lunata (Wakker) Boedijn, Penicillium Link., Rhizopus stolonifer (Ehrenb.: Fr.) Vuill and Trichoderma viride Pers. Five fungicides viz., Bavistin 50 WP, Dithane M-45, Greengel 72 WP, Ridomil MZ Gold and Tall 25 EC at 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 ppm were evaluated against the test fungi. Tall 25 EC were found most efficient inhibitor which completely inhibited the radial growth of the test fungi followed by Bavistin 50 WP, Dithane M-45 and Greengel 72 WP. Antifungal properties of ethanol extracts of Azadirachta indica A. Juss., Allium sativum L., Citrus medica L., Datura metel L. and Psidium guajava L. at 5, 10 and 20% concentrations were evaluated against the test fungi. Allium sativum L. was found most efficient inhibitor of the test fungi followed by D. metel L., A. indica A. Juss., C. medica L. and P. guajava L.Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 25(1): 83-90, 2016

A total of 20 rice varieties of BRRI dhan 56 to BRRI dhan 75 were collected from Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) for seed quality analysis, detection and identification of fungi associated with seeds of selected rice varieties. Dry inspection indicated that the percentage of pure seeds ranged from 90 - 100. The highest percentage of pure seed was found in BRRI dhan 66 and BRRI dhan 70 (100) and lowest in BRRI dhan 68 (90). A total of 21 fungal species were isolated from the selected rice varieties following “Blotter and Tissue Planting” methods. They were Alternaria padwickii, A. tenuissima, Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger, A. ochraceus, A. clavatus, A. terreus, Bipolaris sorokiniana, B. spicifera, Chaetomium globosum, Curvularia lunata, Drechslera oryzae, Fusarium sp.1, Fusarium sp. 2, Nigrospora sp., Penicillium sp., Pestalotiopsis guepinii, Rhizopus stolonifer, Syncephalastrum racemosum and Trichoderma viride. Among them Penicillium sp., Drechslera oryzae, Aspergillus ochraceus, A. flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger and Fusarium sp.1 were predominant in most of the rice varieties. In Tissue Planting method Drechslera oryzae showed the highest mean per cent frequency (6.69) and lowest was in the Bipolaris sorokiniana (0.41). Maximum total fungal association was recorded in variety BRRI dhan 61 (156.79%) and minimum in BRRI dhan 66 (24.69%). In Blotter method Penicillium sp. showed the highest mean per cent frequency (7.56) and lowest was in Rhizopus stolonifer (1.71). Maximum total fungal association was recorded in BRRI dhan 63 (147.37%) and minimum in BRRI dhan 65 (19.21%). Germination percentage of seeds was highest in BRRI dhan 66 (88) followed by BRRI dhan 67 (82), BRRI dhan 74 (80) and lowest in BRRI dhan69 (24). The percentage of seedling mortality was highest in BRRI dhan 63 (42) and lowest in BRRI dhan 74 (8.0) followed by BRRI dhan 67 (10). Correlation coefficient and regression analysis indicated that prevalence of fungi has significant effect on seed germination and seedling mortality. The present research work suggests that out of 20 BRRI rice varieties, BRRI dhan 65, BRRI dhan 66, BRRI dhan 67 and BRRI dhan 74 showed better performances on the basis of percentage of pure seed, fungal association, seed germination and seedling mortality.
