Parastagonospora is a genus of fungal pathogens that primarily infect cereal crops such as wheat, barley, and oat. This group of fungi belongs to the family Stagonosporaceae and is known to cause leaf and stem diseases, resulting in significant yield losses. Parastagonospora infections are becoming increasingly common in several countries, posing a threat to food security and agricultural sustainability. The genus Parastagonospora includes several species, each with unique morphological and genetic characteristics. These include Parastagonospora nodorum, Parastagonospora avenae, Parastagonospora tanaceti, and Parastagonospora mixta. Parastagonospora nodorum is the most wellknown species and is responsible for Septoria nodorum blotch, a severe foliar disease affecting wheat crops worldwide.
