2 Corynespora cassiicola Corynespora cassiicola (Berk. & M. A. Curtis) C. T. Wei type species of the genus (>100 described species) Found on diverse substrates: plant leaves, stems, and roots; nematode cysts; Pathogen of over 530 plant species from 380 genera, including monocots, dicots, ferns, and one cycad Pathogenicity varies among isolates Saprotrophic and endotrophic isolates
