Abstract
In the basidiomycetous genus Itersonilia three species, viz. I. perplexans, I. pyriformans, and I. pastinacae, have been described. We studied mole percentage G+C, nDNA–nDNA homology, and electrophoretic karyotypes of strains belonging to these species. Our results support the recognition of only one species, viz. I. perplexans. Changes in the electrophoretic karyotypes were observed after the transition from monokaryotic yeast cells to monokaryotic hyphae. The apomictic life cycle is described, and aspects of pathogenicity are discussed. Key words: Itersonilia, DNA, karyotyping, taxonomy.
