  • Wheat is grown all over the world, under a variety of climatic settings ranging from subtropical to temperate. However, extensive wheat production has always attracted a variety of restrictions, resulting in the establishment of biotic and abiotic limits. Among them, blast is one of the most deadly wheat diseases. The fungus Magnoporthe oryzae pathotype Triticum causes wheat blast (WB), commonly known as 'Bruson' (Portuguese meaning 'burnt'). Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay are the only nations in South America where wheat blast is restricted (Kohli et al., 2011). However, it was discovered in Bangladesh in April of 2016. (Callawayet al., 2016; Malaker et al., 2016). It has already been discovered in 15% of Bangladesh's wheat-growing region. Wheat blast absolute from Bangladesh was determined to be comparable to that of Brazil based on molecular features (Malaker et al., 2016).
