Multigene phylogenies reveal that red band needle blight of Pinus is caused by two distinct species of Dothistroma, D. septosporum and D. pini (2004, background): “For example, Couch & Kohn (2002) described a new species, Magnaporthe oryzae, based on a 9.7 % divergence observed within multilocus gene genealogies.”
Climate Change Impacts on Plant Pathogens and Plant Diseases (2014, background): “Rice blast (Pyricularia oryzae; teleomorph Magnaporthe oryzae) is found in most of the rice-growing areas of the world (Couch and Kohn 2002).”
What is a species in fungal plant pathogens? (2021, background): “For example, rice blast disease, caused by the ascomycete Pyricularia oryzae (earlier known as Magnaporthe oryzae Couch and Kohn 2002), is one of the most economically important diseases (Wilson and Talbot 2009).”
