An undescribed yeast species was recovered from oriental (Brassica juncea) and yellow (B. hirta) mustard seeds. The new species most closely resembled Nematospora coryli but its asci were rarely cylindrical. The asci and ascospores of N. sinecauda were smaller and the spores did not possess a whip-like appendage. During germination a sprout cell formed first on the smooth anterior surface of the spore above the median ridge. The posterior region of the spore was decorated with interrupted concentric ridges. A description of the new species is given.
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.
