Mycosphaerella musae 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. In the same valley an outbreak of this disease reached epidemic proportions from 1912 to 1923.
Mycosphaerella pomi is a fungus in the Mycosphaerellaceae family.
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 areola is a plant pathogen infecting cotton.
Zymoseptoria tritici, synonyms Septoria tritici, Mycosphaerella graminicola, is a species of filamentous fungus, an ascomycete in the family Mycosphaerellaceae. It is a wheat plant pathogen causing septoria leaf blotch that is difficult to control due to resistance to multiple fungicides. The pathogen today causes one of the most important diseases of wheat.
Mycosphaerella arachidis is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella caryigena is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella cerasella is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella citri is a fungal plant pathogen infecting citruses.
Mycosphaerella louisianae is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella punctiformis is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella pyri is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella eumusae is a fungal disease of banana, causing Eumusae leaf spot. Its symptoms are similar to black leaf streak. M. eumusae is the predominant Mycospharella of banana in mainland Malaysia and in Thailand, and is present in Mauritius and Nigeria. Septoria eumusae is an anamorph of Mycosphaerella eumusae.
Mycosphaerella musicola is a fungal plant pathogen, which is the causal agent of Yellow Sigatoka leaf spot disease on banana plants.
Mycosphaerella bolleana is a fungal plant pathogen.
Mycosphaerella is a genus of ascomycota. With more than 10,000 species, it is the largest genus of plant pathogen fungi.
Sarrah Ben M'barek-Ben Romdhane is a Tunisian-Dutch crop researcher. She works on developing fungus-resistant wheat strains to reduce the toll of Mycosphaerella graminicola on yields.
The Sigatoka disease complex consists of three fungi of banana:
