Through Species and Fungus

Cochliobolus heterostrophus is known from "southern corn blight" which affects corn and maize.

Heterothallism and homothallism

Those fungi that need a partner to mate are referred to as heterothallic (self-sterile), and those fungi not needing a partner are referred to as homothallic (self-fertile). A study of DNA sequences of mating type loci from different heterothallic and homothallic species in the genus Cochliobolus suggests that homothallism can be derived from heterothallism by recombination.
