Nothopassalora
Nothopassalora U. Braun, C. Nakash., Videira & Crous, in Videira et al., Stud. Mycol. 87: 333 (2017).
Index Fungorum number: IF 822696; Facesoffungi number: FoF 08527, 1 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2022), 1 species with molecular data.
Associated with leaf spot. Sexual morph: Unknown. Asexual morph: Mycelium internal, hyaline to pale brown, branched, septate hyphae. Stromata dark, epidermal, substomatal, subglobose. Conidiophores emerging in fascicles from stromata, through stomata, pale to medium brown, smooth to verruculose, simple, straight to flexuous, geniculate-sinuous at the apex, multiseptate, but sometimes with a single basal septum or reduced to conidiogenous cell. Conidiogenous cells integrated, terminal, proliferating sympodially, mono- or polyblastic, conidiogenous loci rim-like, darkened, thickened and refractive. Conidia solitary, pale brown to olivaceous, smooth, thin-walled, cylindrical to long-obclavate, straight or gently curved, apex rounded and sometimes narrowing into a beak, base rounded or obconically truncate, multiseptate, hila thickened, darkened and refractive, sometimes protruding (adapted from Videira et al. 2017).
Type species: Nothopassalora personata (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) U. Braun, C. Nakash., Videira & Crous
Notes: Nothopassalora personata was previously known as Passalora personata but was not congeneric with the type species of Passalora, P. bacilligera. Nothopassalora morphologically resembles Passalora but can be differentiated based on DNA sequence data. Molecular markers available for Nothopassalora include ITS, LSU, SSU, Actin, Calmodulin, Histone, RPB2 and TEF-1.
