DNA barcoding has proven to be a versatile tool for plant disease diagnostics in the genomics era. As the mass parallel and next generation sequencing techniques gained importance, the role of specific barcodes came under immense scrutiny. Identification and accurate classification of phytopathogens need a universal approach which has been the main application area of the concept of barcode. The present review entails a detailed description of the present status of barcode application in plant disease diagnostics. A case study on the application of Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) as barcode for Aspergillus and Fusarium spp. sheds light on the requirement of other potential candidates as barcodes for accurate identification. The challenges faced while barcoding novel pathogens have also been discussed with a comprehensive outline of integrating more recent technologies like meta-barcoding and genome skimming for detecting plant pathogens.
