Pseudocercospora is a genus of ascomycete fungi. An anamorphic version of the genus Mycosphaerella , Pseudocercospora species are plant pathogens, including the causal agent of the so-called South American leaf blight of the rubber tree. [1] The widely distributed genus is concentrated predominantly in tropical regions. [2] Pseudocercospora was circumscribed by Italian-Argentinian botanist Carlos Luigi Spegazzini in 1910. [3]

Blight refers to a specific symptom affecting plants in response to infection by a pathogenic organism.

<i>Hevea brasiliensis</i> Most common rubber tree

Hevea brasiliensis, the Pará rubber tree, sharinga tree, seringueira, or most commonly, rubber tree or rubber plant, is a flowering plant belonging to the spurge family Euphorbiaceae originally native to the Amazon basin, but is now pantropical in distribution due to introductions. It is the most economically important member of the genus Hevea because the milky latex extracted from the tree is the primary source of natural rubber.

<i>Alternaria</i> Genus of fungi

Alternaria is a genus of Deuteromycetes fungi. All species are known as major plant pathogens. They are also common allergens in humans, growing indoors and causing hay fever or hypersensitivity reactions that sometimes lead to asthma. They are present in the human mycobiome and readily cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised people such as AIDS patients.

<i>Cercospora</i> Genus of fungi

Cercospora is a genus of ascomycete fungi. Most species have no known sexual stage, and when the sexual stage is identified, it is in the genus Mycosphaerella. Most species of this genus cause plant diseases, and form leaf spots. It is a relatively well-studied genus of fungi, but there are countless species not yet described, and there is still much to learn about the best-known members of the genus.
