English Abstract
The study was carried out to investigate the seed borne fungi associated with different cultivars of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) grown in Duhok province, Kurdistan region, Iraq.
A total of 12 seed samples were surveyed for the associated mycoflora using standard agar plate, blotter paper and freezing methods.
A total of 21 fungal species assigned to 14 genera were identified.
The most common genera in descending order of their isolation frequency were Cladosporium, Penicillium, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Ulocladium, Arthrinium and Chaetomium.
Alternaria alternata,Cladosporium herbarum,Aspergillus flavus, A.niger, and Arthrinium phaeospermum were the most frequent species.
Ascad cultivar showed the highest number of detected species (13 species), whereas the lowest number (7 species) were isolated from Sham 3 cultivar.
Ascad cultivar (sample 2).
Sham 3 (sample 5) and Simeto (sample 7) showed the highest mean percentage contamination (71.0%, 68.5% and 57.0%) respectively.
The results showed a variation in the fungal composition, number of detected species and percentage contamination according to detection method and cultivar type.
