Mycosphaerella horii is a fungal plant pathogen.
Black sigatoka is a leaf-spot disease of banana plants caused by the ascomycete fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis (Morelet). Also known as black leaf streak, it was discovered in 1963 and named for its similarities with yellow Sigatoka, which is caused by Mycosphaerella musicola (Mulder), which was itself named after the Sigatoka Valley in Fiji, where an outbreak of this disease reached epidemic proportions from 1912 to 1923.
Mycosphaerella pomi is a plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella brassicicola is a plant pathogen. The pathogen is the teleomorph phase of an ascomycete fungus, which causes the ring spot disease of brassicas. The supplementary anamorph phase Asteromella brassicae produces conidia through its asexual reproduction, however these spores are not confirmed to cause disease in host plants.
Mycosphaerella confusa is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella areola is a plant pathogen infecting cotton.
Mycosphaerella angulata is a fungal plant pathogen infecting muscadine grapes. This pathogen causes the common disease angular leaf spot. Mycosphaerella angulate is a ascomycete in the fungi kingdom.
Mycosphaerella arachidis is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella cerasella is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella lageniformis is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella linicola is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella platanifolia is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella punctiformis is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella pyri is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella recutita is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella musicola is a fungal plant pathogen, which is the causal agent of Yellow Sigatoka leaf spot disease on banana plants.
Mycosphaerella musae is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella bolleana is a fungal plant pathogen.
Capnodiales is a diverse order of Dothideomycetes, initially based on the family Capnodiaceae, also known as sooty mold fungi. Sooty molds grow as epiphytes, forming masses of black cells on plant leaves and are often associated with the honeydew secreted by insects feeding on plant sap. This diverse order has been expanded by the addition of several families formerly thought unrelated and now also includes saprobes, endophytes, plant pathogens, lichens and rock-inhabiting fungi. The new additions include the genus Mycosphaerella containing the causal agents of several economically important crop and tree diseases. A small number of these fungi are also able to parasitise humans and animals, including species able to colonise human hair shafts.
Mycosphaerella is a genus of ascomycota. With more than 10,000 species, it is the largest genus of plant pathogen fungi.
