, a New Species Causing Leaf Streak Disease of in Southern China.

Vetiver grass () has been widely used in recent years for ecological environment management, restoration of degraded ecosystems, and essential oil extraction. In 2019, a leaf streak disease of was observed in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, China. The disease appeared as large streak lesions on the leaves, on which conidiomata were formed.

Taxonomy and Phylogeny of (Agaricaceae, Agaricales): New Species, New Combinations and Notes on the Complex.

Species of are known as diminutive lepiotaceous fungi with a worldwide distribution. Previous studies revealed that is not monophyletic and preliminary DNA sequence data from recent collections suggested that several new species exist. Based on multi-locus DNA sequence data (the nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer region ITS1-5.

Updating species diversity of , with a phylogenomic overview.

The genus includes important plant pathogens, endophytes, saprobes and human pathogens. Even though the polyphasic approach has facilitated species identification, knowledge of the overall species diversity and host distribution is largely incomplete. To address this, we examined 952 strains isolated from plants representing 322 species from 248 genera, or air and soil samples, from 87 locations in China, as well as 56 strains from Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Turkey, and the UK.

Phylogeny and pathogenicity of causing anthracnose of cv. Bhaderwah-Rajmash from northern Himalayas, India.

Unlabelled: With an annual loss of up to 100%, anthracnose caused by  is one of the most devastating diseases of common beans ( L.). Due to few distinctive morphological characters, species are frequently misidentified.
