Bipolaris sorokiniana is a fungal pathogen that infects wheat, barley, and other crops, causing spot blotch disease. The disease is most common in humid, warm, wheat-growing regions, with South Asia’s Eastern Gangetic Plains serving as a hotspot. There is very little information known about its genetic variability, demography, and divergence period. The current work is the first to study the phylogeographic patterns of B. sorokiniana isolates obtained from various wheat and barley-growing regions throughout the world, with the goal of elucidating the demographic history and estimating divergence times. In this study, 162 ITS sequences, 18 GAPDH sequences, and 74 TEF-1α sequences from B. sorokiniana obtained from the GenBank, including 21 ITS sequences produced in this study, were used to analyse the phylogeographic pattern of distribution and evolution of B. sorokiniana infecting wheat and barley. The degrees of differentiation among B. sorokiniana sequences from eighteen countries imply the presence of a broad and geographically undifferentiated global population. The study provided forty haplotypes. The H_1 haplotype was identified to be the ancestral haplotype, followed by H_29 and H_27, with H_1 occupying a central position in the median-joining network and being shared by several populations from different continents. The phylogeographic patterns of species based on multi-gene analysis, as well as the predominance of a single haplotype, suggested that human-mediated dispersal may have played a significant role in shaping this pathogen’s population. According to divergence time analysis, haplogroups began at the Plio/Pleistocene boundary.
