We described the teleomorph of Fusarium sacchari as Gibberella sacchari, sp. nov. This species can be separated from other species of Gibberella on the basis of the longer, narrower ascospores found in G. sacchari and by sexual cross fertility. Female-fertile mating type tester strains were developed that can be used for making sexual crosses with this heterothallic fungus under laboratory conditions. The anamorph, Fusarium sacchari, was neotypified.
