Genus of fungi From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thielaviopsis is a small genus of fungi in the order Microascales,[1] and family Ceratocystidaceae.[2] The genus includes several important agricultural based pathogens. The most widespread is T. basicola, the causal agent in several root rot diseases of economically important crop species including cotton and a variety of vegetables. In cotton, Thielaviopsis causes root rot, also known as black root rot, which causes necrosis of the roots and stunting of the crop plants.
