Wheat blast (WB) caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae Triticum (MoT) lineage (synonym Pyricularia oryzae Triticum) is one of the potential future disease threats to the wheat industry in Asia and Australia. This paper is designed to create awareness among growers, professionals, and researchers about WB disease and its potential risk to wheat production systems in Australia.
