Cochliobolus spp. and Their Host-Specific Toxins

  • Chapter
Plant Relationships

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 5))

Abstract

The genus Cochliobolus (class Ascomycetes, order Pleosporales, family Pleosporaceae) contains approximately 30 species (Luttrell 1973), nearly all of which are pathogens of wild grasses or cereal crops (Sivanesan 1984). The genus is predominately heterothallic, although four homothallic species have been described (Luttrell and Rogerson 1959; Waki et al. 1979). Two genera, Bipolaris and Curvularia, have been erected for the asexual (anamorph) stages of Cochliobolus (Alcorn 1983). Before teleomorphic states of these fungi were known, anamorphic Cochliobolus spp. were described under the name Helminthosporium (Alcorn 1988). The graminicolous Helminthosporium spp. were divided into three genera as their perfect states were discovered: Bipolaris for anamorphs of Cochliobolus, Drechslera for anamorphs of Pyrenophora, Exserohilum for anamorphs of Setosphaeria.
