Order of fungi
The Pleosporales is the largest order in the fungal class Dothideomycetes . By a 2008 estimate, it contained 23 families , 332 genera and more than 4700 species .[ 3] The majority of species are saprobes on decaying plant material in fresh water,[ 4] marine,[ 5] or terrestrial environments, but several species are also associated with living plants as parasites , epiphytes or endophytes .[ 1] The best studied species cause plant diseases on important agricultural crops e.g. Cochliobolus heterostrophus , causing southern corn leaf blight on maize , Phaeosphaeria nodorum (Stagonospora nodorum ) causing glume blotch on wheat and Leptosphaeria maculans causing a stem canker (called blackleg) on cabbage crops (Brassica ). Some species of Pleosporales occur on animal dung,[ 6] and a small number occur as lichens [ 7] and rock-inhabiting fungi .[ 8]
