Abstract

Stem canker of sunflower is a harmful disease in the countries of industrial cultivation of seed and commercial sunflowers. In the last decade, new species of Diaporthe genus have been described on the sunflower, which have little differences in morphological characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to develop molecular genetic methods that would allow to conduct research in short terms and provide high accuracy of the pathogen identification. During the study, the data on the pathogen and molecular genetic diagnosis methods available in international practice have been collected and analyzed. A list of species of Diaporthe genus registered on the sunflower has been made. The most variable regions of the genome have been identified.
