Article Synopsis
  • A new species has been described from Corsica, France, based on a single male specimen, identifying morphological differences from similar species in the group.
  • A phylogenetic tree was created using mitochondrial DNA sequences from 16 out of 28 recognized species, providing genetic support for the new species and hinting at the potential discovery of another nearby species.
  • The researchers used a low-cost next-generation sequencing method to analyze both mitochondrial and draft nuclear genomes, contributing important genetic data to enhance the understanding of this species and assist in future studies.

Article Synopsis
  • A new disease affecting fennel has been identified in Sicily, with detailed surveys conducted in 2017 and 2018 in areas where fennel is widely grown.
  • Samples taken from diseased plants showed fungal colonies with similar characteristics, and tests confirmed that the fungus causes disease symptoms in fennel.
  • Three fennel cultivars ('Narciso', 'Apollo', 'Pompeo') were found to be more susceptible to the fungus compared to others, and phylogenetic analyses indicated that the pathogen represents a new genus and species within the Leptosphaeriaceae family.

The genus (Melanconidaceae, Diaporthales) in the strict sense is here re-evaluated regarding phylogenetic structure, taxonomy, distribution and ecology. Using a matrix of sequences from ITS, LSU, , , and , eight species are recognised and their phylogenetic positions are determined. Based on phylogenetic, morphological and geographical differentiation, is subdivided into four subspecies.

Article Synopsis
  • Currently, there is only one genus of Coryneaceae in Diaporthales, which is unique due to its brown conidia with transverse septa.
  • Identifying different species is challenging because of their varying physical traits and insufficient genetic sequencing information.
  • From collections in China, researchers discovered two new species and three known species, highlighting distinct differences in conidial size and shape between them.
