Due to cryptic diversification, phenotypic plasticity and host associations, multilocus phylogenetic analyses have become the most important tool in accurately identifying circumscribing species Diaporthe genus. However, application of genealogical concordance criterion has often been overlooked, ultimately leading an exponential increase novel spp. large number species, many lineages remain poorly understood under so-called complexes. For this reason, a robust delimitation boundaries is...
Palm trees (Arecaceae) are among the most popular ornamental plants worldwide. Despite extensive research on fungi associated with Arecaceae, diversity and ecological dynamics of affecting palms remain poorly studied, although they have significant impact palm health economic value. Furthermore, while fungal has traditionally focused tropical assemblages, in temperate climates offer a unique opportunity to explore non-native habitats. The present study conducted preliminary assessment...
The Botryosphaeriaceae is the largest family in Botryosphaeriales and currently comprises 22 genera of important endophytes, saprobes plant pathogens. Most botryosphaeriaceous species have a cosmopolitan distribution, occurring on wide range woody hosts. Nonetheless, many hosts, including palms (Arecaceae), complex associated taxa as yet unknown. present study aimed to identify with foliar lesions ornamental Lisbon, Portugal. Twenty-nine were isolated from seven different palm identified...
Palm fungi are a diverse and unique group mostly found on Arecaceae hosts. They have been studied for approximately 200 years resulting in large number of known fungal species representing over 700 genera. The timeline palm studies could be roughly divided into three phases, based the methods frequency reports. "Historical era", "Classical era" "Molecular era". In first two periods, identification was morphology, which resulted considerable morphological scattered across data books,...
