Doassansiopsis Explained
Doassansiopsis is a genus of smut fungi belonging to the monotypic family Doassansiopsidaceae, within the class Ustilaginomycetes and order Urocystidales.
When order Urocystidales was formed in 1997,[1] and consisted (then) of 4 new families, (Doassansiopsidaceae, Glomosporiaceae, Melanotaeniaceae and Urocystidaceae with 1 genus.[2]
The family Doassansiopsidaceae was created by Begerow, R.Bauer & Oberw. in 1998.[3]
Members within the Doassansiopsaceae family and family Urocystaceae (or Urocystidaceae) which are both within the order Urocystidales, share a common ultrastructure.[4]
Hosts
The leaves of the water-lily (Nymphaea nouchali) can be affected by the water-born fungi, Doassansiopsis nymphaea.[5] The leaves of Caldesia parnassifolia (Alisma reniforme) can be affected by the water-born fungi, Doassansiopsis hydrophila (syn Doassansiopsis martianoffiana).[6]
