Article Synopsis
- The Melastomataceae family consists of trees and shrubs that commonly host Chrysoporthe and similar fungi, which can cause serious damage, including death of the plants.
- Researchers surveyed tree diseases in southeastern Brazil and discovered Chrysoporthe-like fungi on Miconia spp. and Rhynchanthera grandiflora, leading to the identification of a new species named Chrysoporthe brasilensis.
- Inoculation tests showed that C. brasilensis is a highly aggressive pathogen, contributing to concerns about new and harmful Chrysoporthe species that could endanger important global ecosystems, including Eucalyptus.
