Abstract

. dematium survived for more than 8 yr in seeds of Capsicum and more than 10 yr in mungbean (Phaseolus [Vigna] mungo) and soyabean while C. graminicola survived for 5 yr in V. mungo and 7 yr in sorghum. Component plating of seeds from these samples revealed C. infection in the embryo, suggesting that the inoculum survived due to its deep-seated location. Cultures of these C. spp. from surviving inoculum of different ages proved pathogenic. The risk involved in using diseased seed from gene banks is discussed.
