Fusarium graminearum Schwabe, F1. Anhaltina 2:285, 1838. Conidial state of Gibberella zeae (Schw.) Petch. |

| Description： |
On PDA, growth is rapid, with dense, white to tan or reddish-brown aerial mycelium and sparse, reddish-brown to orange, sporodochia developing as the culture ages. Colonies reach 6.9 cm diameter for 4 days at 24℃. Microconidia are absent. Macroconidia formed from unbranched and branched monophialides are straight to moderately falcate, distinctly septate, thick-walled, with a marked foot cell, mostly 3-6 septate, 31.0 - 58.3 × 4.4 - 5.1 μm. Chlamydospores are sparse and formed slowly from the cells of macroconidia or mycelium. Gibberella zeae (Schw.) Petch is heterothallic or homothallic and the teleomorph is obtained by pairing monoconidial isolates on carnation leaf agar (CLA). | |||
