| Abstract/Contents: | "The pathogens that we know today as Dreschlera [Drechslera] and Pyrenophora were originally placed in the genus Helminthosporium because they shared many of the same characteristics of spore morphology as others grouped in that genus. However, Dreschlera [Drechslera] failed to notice that there were some clear differences between his grass pathogens and the original Helminthosporium fungus used to describe the new genus in 1809. As subsequent pathologists began to examine the morphology of these grass pathogens, it became clear that they did not belong in the genus Helminthosporium. In 1930, the genus Dreschlera [Drechslera] was created to accommodate those grass-infecting fungi that clearly didn't belong in the Helminthosporium genus, but had to be placed somewhere. Thus, Helminthosporium vagans, H. siccans, H. dictyoides, and H. erythrospilum became Dreschlerapoae, D. siccans, D. dictyoides, and D. erythrospila, respectively." |
