Comparative analysis of nucleotide sequences revealed that strain YZU 231199 differed from representative strain of  A. tomato (CBS 103.30) at four regions: 3 bp differences in GAPDH with 1 gap; 4 bp differences in RPB 2, 1 bp difference in TEF 1, and 1 bp difference in OPA 10-2. Morphologically, the present fungus (YZU 231199) was also different with  A. tomato in having smaller body size, less septa, and shorter beak (Table 2). Therefore, strain YZU 231199 was introduced as a novel species  A. oryzicola sp. nov. in this study.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B11107A80B7B5431A78FD9D8DB8FE56D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In morphology,  A. poae can be distinguished from  A. zeae by its shorter beak length, and from  A. burnsii by its wider conidia bodies (Table 2).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0FFDD08997D750348E559AC177AD1C98	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Nucleotide sequence differences were also observed between  A. zeae and  A. burnsii (3 bp in GAPDH with 1 gap, 2 bp in RPB 2, 1 bp in Alt a 1, and 1 bp in OPA 10-2). Morphologically,  A. zeae has obviously longer beak than  A. poae and  A. burnsii (Table 2).
