Phoma And relAted pleoSporAleAn generA<br />

Fig. 13. Phoma bulgarica (CBS 357.84). A–C. Fourteen-day-old colonies on OA (A), MEA (B) and CHA (C). D. Pycnidia <strong>in</strong> vivo, isolated from manually <strong>in</strong>fected sterilised stems<br />

<strong>of</strong> Urtica dioica. E. Pycnidial section. F. Pycnidium. G. Crystals. H. Hyphal strand. Scale bars: D, F = 100 μm; E, H = 50 μm; G = 10 μm.<br />

Notes: The placement <strong>of</strong> this teleomorph <strong>in</strong> ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> Didymella<br />

or Mycosphaerella has been debated regularly <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> past (Müller<br />

and Arx 1962, Von Arx 1987, Trapero-Casas & Kaiser 1992,<br />

Wilson & Kaiser 1995, De Gruyter 2002, Barve et al. 2003). The<br />

most recent emendment was by De Gruyter (2002) who judged <strong>in</strong><br />

favour <strong>of</strong> Mycosphaerella rabiei Kovatsch. ex Gruyter. However, as<br />

<strong>the</strong> genus Mycosphaerella is phylogenetically not l<strong>in</strong>ked with <strong>the</strong><br />

Pleosporales (Schoch et al. 2006, 2009b, Crous et al. 2009c), <strong>the</strong><br />

placement <strong>in</strong> Didymella appears to be more correct.<br />

Etymology: Epi<strong>the</strong>t refers to <strong>the</strong> country <strong>of</strong> orig<strong>in</strong>, Bulgaria.<br />

Conidiomata pycnidial solitary, subglobose to elongated or<br />

obpyriform, glabrous, non-papillate, brown, on <strong>the</strong> surface and<br />

Pycnidia proved to be sterile. In older cultures pycnidial primordia<br />

are formed, which are surrounded by clusters <strong>of</strong> needle-shaped<br />

crystals.<br />
