Novel and (Tubeufiaceae, Tubeufiales) species and two new host records of on tropical palms (Arecaceae) from China.

Asexual species of Tubeufiaceae are characterised as helicosporous hyphomycetes and are abundantly discovered in tropical and subtropical regions. The present study collected helicosporous fungal samples from rotting tissues of , and in Xishuangbanna, Yunan Province, China. Fungal isolates were identified, based on the morphological characteristics and multi-gene phylogeny with DNA sequence data of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), part of the large subunit nuclear rRNA gene (LSU), translation elongation factor 1-alpha gene ( 1-) and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit gene (2).

Addition of Five Novel Fungal Flora to the Xylariomycetidae (Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota) in Northern Thailand.

The deviation of conventional fungal niches is an important factor in the implications of hidden fungal diversity and global fungal numbers. The Xylariomycetidae (Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota), which is also referred to as xylarialean taxa, has a wide range of species that demonstrate a high degree of variation in their stromatic characteristics, showing either conspicuous or inconspicuous forms. In this study, samples were collected while focusing on temporal and spatial parameters and substrate characteristics.

sp. nov., Causing Leaf Spot on in China.

High temperatures and the seasonality in tropical ecosystems favours plant pathogens, which result in many fungal diseases. Among these, diseases caused by species are prominent as dieback, canker and leaf spots. In this research, we isolated one leaf-spot-causing species from leaves, which were collected in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China.

Endophytic Associated with in China.

species are endophytes, pathogens, and saprobes with a wide host range worldwide. However, little is known about endophytic species associated with . In the present study, 48 endophytic isolates were obtained from cultivated in Deqing, Guangdong Province, China.

Identification and Characterization of Species Associated with Plant Diseases in Southern China.

Calonectria species are important plant pathogens on a wide range of hosts, causing significant losses to plant production worldwide. During our survey on phytopathogenic fungi from 2019 to 2021, diseased samples were collected from various hosts in Guangdong Province, China. In total, 16 Calonectria isolates were obtained from leaf spots, stem blights and root rots of species of Arachis, Cassia, Callistemon, Eucalyptus, Heliconia, Melaleuca and Strelitzia plants.

Co-infection of sp. nov. and Causing Stem Rot in in China.

() (Araceae) is an evergreen herbage, which is intensively grown as an ornamental plant in South China. A new disease was observed in from 2020 to 2021 in Guangdong province, China. The disease symptoms associated with plants were initial leaf wilt, stem rot, and resulting plant death, leading to severe economic losses.

Identification and Characterization of Species Associated with Cherry Leaf Spot Disease in China.

Leaf spot is a common and serious disease of sweet cherry worldwide and has become a major concern in China. From 2018 to 2020, disease investigations were carried out in Beijing City, Sichuan, Shandong, and Liaoning Provinces in China, and 105 isolates were obtained from diseased samples. Isolates were identified by morphological characterization coupled with multigene phylogenetic analyses based on six loci (internal transcribed spacer region, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, calmodulin, actin, chitin synthase, and β-tubulin).

Fungal diversity notes 1512-1610: taxonomic and phylogenetic contributions on genera and species of fungal taxa.

This article is the 14th in the Fungal Diversity Notes series, wherein we report 98 taxa distributed in two phyla, seven classes, 26 orders and 50 families which are described and illustrated. Taxa in this study were collected from Australia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Chile, China, Cyprus, Egypt, France, French Guiana, India, Indonesia, Italy, Laos, Mexico, Russia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam. There are 59 new taxa, 39 new hosts and new geographical distributions with one new combination.

Causes Stem and Root Rot on in South China.

is a popular ornamental plant in China, however pests and diseases associated with reduce the ornamental value of this plant. From 2016 to 2021, stem and root rot has been observed on in Guangdong Province, China. Once the disease became severe, plants wilted and died.

Fungi are eukaryotes that inhabit various ecosystems worldwide and have a decomposing effect that other organisms cannot replace. Fungi are divided into two main groups depending on how their sexual spores are formed, viz. Ascomycota and Basidiomycota.

: A Novel Ascomycete Fungus Causing Leaf Spot and Stem Blight on (Lamiaceae) in South China.

is one of the well-known Southern Chinese medicinal plants with detoxification, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and other pharmacological functions. Identification and characterization of phytopathogens on are of great significance for the prevention and control of diseases. From spring to summer of 2019 and 2020, a leaf spot disease on was observed in Guangdong Province, South China.

Climate-Fungal Pathogen Modeling Predicts Loss of Up to One-Third of Tea Growing Areas.

Climate change will affect numerous crops in the future; however, perennial crops, such as tea, are particularly vulnerable. Climate change will also strongly influence fungal pathogens. Here, we predict how future climatic conditions will impact tea and its associated pathogens.
