Forty samples of sunflower seed (Helianthus annuus L.) were analyzed in period 2017-2018. Based on morphological characterization and pathogenicity test the fungus isolated from the tissues were initially identified as Epicoccum spp. The presence of E. nigrum was further confirmed by PCR and sequencing. A comparison of the obtained sequence with those available in GenBank confirmed the presence E. nigrum in sunflower seed samples.This study represents the first attempt to characterize pathogens of genus Epicoccum associated with sunflower seeds in Serbia.
