Pestalotioid fungi were isolated in pure culture from symptomatic plants of , , (marketed as ""), Myrtuscommunissubsp.tarentina, and M.communisvar.microphylla ( 'Microphylla'), showing twig canker, dieback and defoliation. The isolates were identified to species by ITS, and sequences, which revealed the presence of six species of (, , , , , and ) and one species of (). While most species were isolated only once or twice, the majority of isolates belonged to (13) and (8). Pathogenicity was investigated by pathogenicity tests on all hosts, which confirmed the pathogenicity of all species on at least some of the hosts tested, while did not cause any disease symptoms. and caused symptoms in all hosts of the present study, while the other species tested showed no symptoms on .

In walnut orchards, frequent symptoms of cankers and dieback (fruit blight, twig and branch cankers up to tree death) are caused by different agents, in particular by Botryosphaeriaceae, primarily Neofusicoccum parvum and Botryosphaeria dothidea. This study aimed at developing a sensitive, rapid, specific and internally controlled multiplex PCR assay for the detection of these species. The ability of the multiplex PCR, with an internal inhibition control (i.

Mexico ranks second in the world for Persian lime () exports, making it the principal citrus exporter within the national citrus industry, exporting over 600,000 tons per year. However, diseases are the main factor reducing production, resulting in significant economic losses. Among these diseases, fungal diseases like dieback, caused by species of , are an emerging issue in Persian lime.

Article Synopsis
- The study describes numerous new species of fungi discovered across various environments, including leaf spots, dead insects, soil, and wood from diverse locations around the world.
- The fungi were isolated from multiple substrates, such as decaying organic matter, living plants, and even specific habitats like semi-desert montane areas and mixed forests.
- Morphological traits and genetic analysis through DNA barcoding confirm the classification and distinct characteristics of these fungal species.
