fungus
China
Pea, soybean and alfalfa are the most important hosts. Has been reported on beet, lentils, cotton, parsley, fava bean, mung bean, cowpea, oats, barley, clovers and leguminous plants
PHOMMP
This pathogen has not been reported in China
3 Known Hosts
Glycine max
soybean
No
PHOMME-3, RICHISTA, PHOMMP-1
One reference commonly cited for seed as a possible pathway (PHOMME-3), but this reference could not be located to validate data. Regardless, this is the only report found indicating soybean seed might be a pathway for this pathogen. There is no evidence of seed transmission.
Medicago sativa
alfalfa
No
PHOMMP-5
Seed of other Medicago spp. may be a pathway, but no evidence of Medicago sativa seed as a pathway.

Pisum sativum
pea
No
PHOMMP-2, RICHISTA, PHOMME-3
Pathway not proven. Only one reference found (PHOMMP) found indicating this pathogen was found on seed but evidence of seed transmission was not presented. Fungal pycnydia were found on seed coats on local varieties. The other references do not indicate that seed is a pathway.
