Abstract:
During 2000-2016, 213
entries from 29 plant species from different
crop groups (cereals, legumes, industrial
crops, perennial grasses, vegetables,
cucurbits, aromatic and medicinal plants)
from core collection of the Suceava
Genebank were evaluated from
phytosanitary status point of view, before
the storing. The seeds testing to the
micromycetes incidence in the laboratory by
incubating of them on blotting paper
substrate and agar medium was performed.
Fungal saprophytes from genus as:
Alternaria spp., Stemphylium spp.,
Cladosporium sp., Rhyzopus sp., Epicocum
sp., Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp., Botrytis
sp. occurred frequently in seeds samples of
the tested crops. Also, 12 fungal parasite
were isolated: Sclerospora sp., Diplodia sp.,
Nigrospora sp. on maize; Drechslera spp.
on wheat, barley, rye and flax; Septoria sp.
on barley; Fusarium spp. on maize, barley,
rye, millet, bean, pea, flax, hemp, peppers,
cucumbers; Colletotrichum spp. on maize,
bean and faba bean; Sclerotinia sp.,
Isariopsis sp. and Rhyzoctonia sp. on bean;
Verticillium sp. on peppers and okra,
Ascochyta sp. on pea. The obtained results
were expressed as percentage of the number
of fungal isolated from tested samples
species, highlighting the existing microflora
and need to seed health testing with major
importance in maintaing of high quality
germplasm avoiding the pathogens
preservation and dissemination.
