Bipolaris maydis is a phytopathogen of maize that causes maydis leaf blight
or Southern corn leaf blight disease. The Biploaris maydis produce
extracellular enzymes that degrade cellulose, pectin, amylose and
amylopectin of the plant cell wall and helps in invasion and virulence of the
phytopathogen in the infected tissue. Variations among the seven isolates of
Bipolaris maydis were found for extracellular enzymatic activity in solid
medium and the amylase activity showed the highest activity index. E15
isolate of Bipolaris maydis showed the highest amylase, pectinase and
esterase activity, whereas, E27 isolate showed highest cellulase activity
index as compared to other isolates. The results indicated the possible role
of cell wall degrading enzymes in the aggressiveness, virulence and
increase the disease incidence of the maydis leaf blight of maize
