Gibberella temperata (Fusarium temperatum) sp. nov. from maize in Belgium, an emergent species closely related to Fusarium subglutinans

A novel biological species of Fusarium, Fusarium temperatum Scauflaire et Munaut sp. nov. (and its teleomorph: Gibberella temperata Scauflaire et Munaut sp. nov.) was described within the Gibberella fujikuroi species complex (GFC), on basis of a robust polyphasic approach. The morphology, the sexual sage, the genetic diversity and its relationships with species within the GFC were analyzed.
