Neopestalotiopsis Rhododendricola
''Neopestalotiopsis'' is a genus of plant pathogens in the family Sporocadaceae. The genus was published by Maharachch., K.D. Hyde & Crous in Studies in Mycology vol.79 on page 135 in 2014. The type species is ''Neopestalotiopsis protearum'' . It was named after its morphological similarity to ''Pestalotiopsis''. ''Neopestalotiopsis'' is widespread, occurring as saprobes or pathogens on various host plants (Maharachchikumbura et al. 2014, Farr & Rossman 2019). The genus is distinct from ''Pestalotiopsis'' in having versicolourous median cells. The conidia is either composed of two upper median cells that are darker than the lowest median cell and they have indistinct conidiophores. It was originally placed in family ''Pestalotiopsidaceae'' before that was absorbed into the family ''Sporocadaceae''. Jaklitsch et al. (2016), synonymised ''Bartaliniaceae'', ''Discosiaceae'', ''Pestalotiopsidaceae'' and ''Robillardaceae'', and then revived the older family name of ''Sporocadaceae'' ...

Fungi
A fungus ( : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
