Symptoms of seed rot of Hyssopus officinalis L. were noticed during seed health testing in 2018. According to morphological and cultural characteristics, isolates belong to Fusarium spp. and Alternaria spp.. Based on morphological and pathogenic properties, as well as sequence analysis, isolate designated as 4003/3 was identified as Fusarium graminearum deposited in NCBI gene bank under Acc. Number MK061542. To our knowledge F. graminearum as the causal agent of Hyssopus officinalis L. seed rot in Serbia was noticed for the first time.
