Morphological and molecular studies led to the description of Heteroconium triticicola as a new species isolated from roots of wheat in the United Kingdom. The new fungus shares with H. citharexyli, the type species of Heteroconium Petrak, features such as superficial mycelium, macronematous, mononematous, unbranched, straight conidiophores, monoblastic, integrated, terminal, cylindrical conidiogenous cells, and catenate, dry, simple, cylindrical, obclavate, often pale brown, smooth, multiseptate conidia. The genus Heteroconium is proposed as an anamorph within Hyaloscyphaceae.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
