In this paper we give an account of the genera and species in Botryosphaeriaceae.We consider morphological characters alone as inadequate to define or identify species, given confusion it has repeatedly introduced past, their variation during development, inevitable overlap representation grows.Thus seems likely that all older taxa linked Botryosphaeriaceae, for which cultures DNA sequence data are not available, cannot be family known from culture.Such will have disregarded future use...
Botryosphaeria is a species-rich genus with cosmopolitan distribution, commonly associated dieback and cankers of woody plants. As many as 18 anamorph genera have been Botryosphaeria, most which reduced to synonymy under Diplodia (conidia mostly ovoid, pigmented, thick-walled), or Fusicoccum fusoid, hyaline, thin-walled). However, there are numerous conidial anamorphs having morphological characteristics intermediate between Fusicoccum, several records species outside the Botryosphaeriaceae...
Species in the Botryosphaeriaceae are common plant pathogens and saprobes found on a variety of mainly woody hosts. Teleomorphs typically have hyaline, aseptate ascospores. However, some been reported with brown ascospores their taxonomic status is uncertain. A multi-gene approach (SSU, ITS, LSU, EF1-alpha beta-tubulin) was used to resolve correct phylogenetic position dark-spored 'Botryosphaeria' teleomorphs related asexual species. Neodeightonia Phaeobotryon reinstated for species that...
Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows: Antarctica, Apenidiella antarctica permafrost, Cladosporium fildesense an unidentified marine sponge. Argentina, Geastrum wrightii on humus mixed forest. Australia, Golovinomyces glandulariae Glandularia aristigera, Neoanungitea eucalyptorum leaves Eucalyptus grandis, Teratosphaeria corymbiicola Corymbia ficifolia, Xylaria eucalypti radiata.Brazil, Bovista psammophila soil, Fusarium awaxy rotten...
Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows: Antarctica , Cladosporium arenosum marine sediment sand. Argentina Kosmimatamyces alatophylus (incl. gen. nov.) soil. Australia Aspergillus banksianus kumbius luteorubrus malvicolor and nanangensis soil, Erysiphe medicaginis leaves Medicago polymorpha Hymenotorrendiella communis on leaf litter Eucalyptus bicostata Lactifluus albopicri austropiperatus Macalpinomyces collinsiae Eriachne benthamii...
Botr yosphaeria stevensii frequently has been associated with dieback and canker diseases of oak, mainly in the western Mediterranean area but more rarely other regions. The species concept B. unclear, it is possible that some collections were identified incorrectly. A collection fungal strains isolated from diseased oak trees initially as was characterized on basis morphology ITS nucleotide sequences. Morphology compared type specimens Physalospora mutila (= stevensii) its anamorph,...
Botryosphaeria sarmentorum sp. nov. and B. iberica are described illustrated. These two species unusual in this genus because of their brown, 1-septate ascospores. Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS EF1-α sequences place them within the clade containing with Fusicoccum anamorphs. The conidia, however, do not conform to Fusicoccum. Therefore phylogenetically morphologically anamorphs these belong a distinct from any currently accepted anamorph genera assigned Botryosphaeria. Through study...
Botryosphaeriaceae-related diseases occur worldwide in a wide variety of plant hosts. The number studies targeting the distribution, diversity, ecology, and pathogenicity Botryosphaeriaceae species are consistently increasing. However, with lack consistency delimitation, name hosts, locations studies, it is almost impossible to quantify presence these worldwide, or different host–fungus interactions that occur. In this review, we collected organized occurrences single cured dataset, allowing...
Marine fungi play a crucial role in energy flow and nutrient recycling, mediating the cycling of dissolved organic matter marine environments. However, despite being prolific group organisms, have been largely neglected for long time. Besides their importance food web, represent an active source natural products. Over last years, researchers focused on studying organisms to discover new metabolites with antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer activities. Moreover, advances high-throughput...
Production from crops of pome, stone fruit, nut, berry citrus, grapevine, and olive is increasingly threatened by fungal trunk diseases (FTD). These the consequent production losses are major problems. Many fungi (including Botryosphaeriaceae, Calosphaeriaceae, Diaporthaceae, Diatrypaceae, Nectriaceae, Phaeomoniellaceae, Pleosporaceae, Togniniaceae, Valsaceae) infect host wood, mainly through wounds subsequent colonization woody tissues, causing symptoms such as cankers, gummosis, wood...
Summary 1. To assess the impact of metal mixtures on microbial decomposition leaf litter, we exposed leaves previously immersed in a stream to environmentally realistic concentrations copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) (three levels), alone all possible combinations. The response community was monitored after 10, 25 40 days exposure by examining mass loss, fungal bacterial biomass, reproduction diversity. 2. Analysis diversity, assessed denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis identification spores,...
Species of Botryosphaeria and Neofusicoccum are well known as pathogens woody hosts. In this study the species that occur on rotting olive drupes in main production areas southern Italy were studied. identified from morphology their conidial states culture sequence data ITS rDNA operon partial translation elongation factor 1‐α gene. isolated more than 60% affected drupes, suggesting they contributors to disease. The most common was B. dothidea , which 34% drupes. However, N. australe...
Diplodia species are known as pathogens on many woody hosts, including fruit trees, worldwide.In this study a collection of isolates obtained mostly from apple and other Rosaceae hosts were identified based morphological characters DNA sequence data ITS EF1-α loci.The results show that the diversity associated with twig branch cankers rot apples is larger than previously recognised.Four identified, namely D. seriata malorum (which here reinstated for mutila-like conidia).Diplodia intermedia...
Background Species identification is essential for controlling disease, understanding epidemiology, and to guide the implementation of phytosanitary measures against fungi from genus Diaporthe . Accurate species separation requires using multi-loci phylogenies. However, defining optimal set loci that can be used still an open problem. Methods Here we addressed problem by identifying five have been sequenced in 142 isolates representing 96 species: TEF1 , TUB CAL HIS ITS. We then every...
Abstract Lasiodiplodia theobromae (Botryosphaeriaceae, Ascomycota) is a plant pathogen and human opportunist whose pathogenicity modulated by temperature. The molecular effects of temperature on L . are mostly unknown, so we used multi-omics approach to understand how affects the mechanisms pathogenicity. genome LA-SOL3 was sequenced (Illumina MiSeq) annotated. Furthermore, transcriptome TruSeq) proteome (Orbitrap LC-MS/MS) grown at 25 °C 37 were analysed. Proteins related (plant cell wall...
