Variation encountered in cultures resulting from single pycnidiospores of representative isolates of the Phaeodidymous:Sphaeropsidales was analyzed. Spore morphology, ornamentation, and size are proposed as the most stable characters for use in future taxonomic treatments of this group. The genus Diplodia is broadened to include all fungi that produce dark. two-celled spores within a pycnidium.
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.
