Three new species of Pestalotiopsis (Amphisphaeriales, Sporocadaceae) were identified by morphology and multigene phylogeny from Hainan and Yunnan, China

Collection: Pensoft Publishers

Keywords: New species · Topics: Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases, Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions, Yeasts and Rust Fungi Studies

Pestalotiopsis fungi are widely distributed all over the world, mainly as plant pathogens, endophytes or saprobes from multiple hosts. In this study, the sequence data analysis based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS), partial beta-tubulin (tub2) and partial regions of translation elongation factor 1 alpha (tef1α) combined with morphological characteristics was used to identify strains isolated from the diseased leaves of Aporosa dioica and Rhaphiolepis indica, as well as some rotted leaves from Yunnan and Hainan Provinces in China as three new species, viz., Pestalotiopsis aporosae-dioicae sp. nov., P. nannuoensis sp. nov. and P. rhaphiolepidis sp. nov.
