(a) Pseudopestalotiopsis theae conidiomata sporulating on potato dextrose agar at day 20. (b) Lactophenol cotton blue mount (1000x magnification) showing fusoid 4-septate conidia with slight constrictions at the septae and conical basal cell with truncated base. The 3 median cells are concolorous and brown with darker colored septae. The conical apical cells have filiform branched appendages. (c) ITS sequence analysis generated a phylogram which shows that our sample GMRV-L 825/15 has 99% similarity with Pseudopestalotiopsis theae
