The genus Pyricularia (anamorph)/Magnaporthe (teleomorph) causes blast disease on a broad range of plants including rice, foxtail millet and other species of the family Poaceae. The infected leaves of foxtail millet with typical spindle shaped lesions of light tan in colour, dusty gray appearance with necrotic borders were collected from various regions of Tamil Nadu during 2017 and 2018 and the pathogen was isolated from the samples. The collected isolates were named as TNFxM1 to TNFxM32. All the 32 blast isolates were characterized by their colony morphology and spore morphology. Amplification of housekeeping genes viz., Actin, ß- tubulin, and Calmodulin were done using the specific primers at 336 bp, 536 bp and 512 bp respectively." />
