The genus Curvularia comprises of fungal species frequently encountered as saprophytes,
endophytes and pathogens. Both living and dead weeds as well as crops are well known for
the survival and completion of life cycles of Curvularia in nature. Molecular phylogenetic
assessments are leading to precise identification of species in this genus from closely
related taxa since morphological identification alone is often insufficient for species
discrimination. Updated molecular phylogeny with all the existing Curvularia species is …
