Chung, Wen H. & Takao Tsukiboshi. A new species of Curvularia from Japan. Mycotaxon 91: 49-54. 2005.

ABSTRACT: A new fungal species, Curvularia panici, isolated from the leaves of Panicum repens collected in Japan, is described and illustrated as a species producing long conidia with more than six septa. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the ITS regions and 5.8 S rDNA revealed that C. panici formed one genetic group with Curvularia distinguished from Exserohilum and long-conidia Bipolaris.
