Pyrenophora
The fungal genus Pyrenophora includes 108 species,[2] including the following plant pathogenic species: Pyrenophora teres, Pyrenophora graminea and Pyrenophora tritici-repentis. Pyrenophora teres (has the teleomorph, Drechslera teres) makes up to 3 conidia per conidiophore. It infects plants with an appressorium. It grows bio-trophically in the first infected plant cell, but then switches to a necrotrophic growth mode. During necrotrophic growth, the fungus can only be found in the plant apoplast but not within plant cells. SpeciesAs accepted by Species Fungorum (which has a list over 50 former species);[2]
