AI Article Synopsis
- Several coelomycetous fungi, including Ascochyta, Phoma, and Phyllosticta, have been identified on soybean leaves and pods, with recent classifications like Boeremia and Peyronellaea also noted.
- These fungi are considered weak or opportunistic pathogens, commonly found on diseased plant materials.
- The research involved re-evaluating the taxonomic status of Phoma sojicola, revealing it to be identical to Peyronellaea pinodella and Boeremia exigua var. exigua, utilizing both conventional and molecular methods for accurate identification.
Article Abstract
Numerous coelomycetous fungi classified in Ascochyta, Phoma and Phyllosticta, and lately established and/or re-classified genera and species, namely Boeremia and Peyronellaea have been recorded from spots on leaves and pods of soybeans. These rarely observed pathogens are cosmopolitan, ubiquitous species on diseased and dead plant materials, and define frequently as weak or opportunistic parasites. Based on the Genealogical Concordance Phylogenetic Species Recognition, the authors summarize the re-evaluation of the taxonomic status of Phoma sojicola (syn. Ascochyta sojicola) and Phyllosticta sojicola. Inspite of the former delimitation of Ph. sojicola based on small differences in morphological features, it has proved to be identical to Peyronellaea pinodella (syn. Phoma pinodella). Similarly, it was also confirmed that Ph. sojicola was identical to Boeremia exigua var. exigua (syn. Phoma exigua var. exigua). The authors and co-workers contributed to the identification of Phoma-like fungi by combined conventional and molecular methods. Protein-encoding genes (TEF1 and β-tubulin) were successfully applied within the Phoma genus to infer phylogenetic relationships.

Article Synopsis
- Boeremia is a genus of fungi that includes various species found primarily in land ecosystems as endophytes, saprobes, and pathogens, with one species found in the sea.
- These fungi have distinct features like thin-walled conidia and specific types of ascospores, but identifying them can be challenging due to overlapping traits and similarities with other species.
- This study introduces a new species called B. albae, and documents B. maritima from the Morus alba plant in northern Thailand, utilizing both genetic sequencing and morphological analysis for accurate identification.

The endangered yellow-spotted river turtle () has experienced a dramatic population decline in the Ecuadorian Amazonia, mainly due to overexploitation of its eggs. To reverse this trend, the Wildlife Conservation Society has developed a head-start program in Yasuní National Park since 2008, but the potential risk that microbes associated with its eggs might represent for hatching success has not been evaluated yet. Members of the species complex (FSSC) are involved in egg failure in sea turtles under natural and hatchery conditions, but their role in infecting the eggs of is unknown.
