Micromycetes associated with wheat and their significance as pathogens in Russia

Fungal diseases of wheat are widely studied due to economic importance at global scale. Nevertheless, incorrect
 names and respective pathogen species, as well inaccurate indication their practical significance, is
 found in the scientific literature. This may lead confusion misinterpretation phytosanitary situation. This
 review collects structures information about main pathogenic fungi causing them, well
 species emerging a potential threat crops. The modern taxonomic status fungal associated
 with different organs is given, geographical distribution impact on crop yield characterized.
 Micromycetes divided into three groups according significance. first group represented
 by possessing great pathogens 25 diseases. second includes three
 not Russia but significant for production other countries, thus posing risk Russian
 grain farming. third consists 29 minor poorly unverified harmfulness
 controversial which available data needs be reviewed confirmed. dataset can used
 reference more accurate correct description will also helpful for
 targeted studies using molecular methods determine area that cause diseases, track changes
 boundaries clarify harmfulness species.
