Neotyphodium melicicola



Neotyphodium
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Fungi
Division: Ascomycota
Class: Ascomycetes
Subclass: Sordariomycetes
Order: Hypocreales
Family: Clavicipitaceae
Genus: Neotyphodium

Neotyphodium melicicola is a systemic and seed-transmissible symbiont of Melica decumbens and Melica racemosa, grasses endemic to southern Africa. [1] Molecular phylogenetic analysis indicates that N. melicicola is an interspecific hybrid, and that its closest relatives are the teleomorphic (sexual) species, Epichloë festucae, and the anamorphic (asexual) species, Neotyphodium aotearoae.
