Species of Tubakiaceae have often been reported as plant pathogens or endophytes, commonly isolated from a wide range of plant hosts. The isolated fungi were studied through a complete examination, based on multilocus phylogenies from combined datasets of ITS/LSU/rpb2 and ITS/tef1/tub2, in conjunction with morphological characteristics. Five strains isolated from Lithocarpus fohaiensis and Quercus palustris in China represented a new genus of Tubakiaceae, Obovoideisporodochium and three species, viz. Obovoideisporodochium lithocarpi sp. nov., Tubakia lushanensis sp. nov. and T. dryinoides.
Species of Sporocadaceae have often been reported as plant pathogens, endophytes or saprophytes and are commonly isolated from a wide range of plant hosts. The isolated fungi were studied through a complete examination, based on multilocus phylogenies from combined datasets of ITS/tub2/tef1, in conjunction with morphological characteristics. Nine strains were isolated from Ficus microcarpa, Ilex chinensis and Schima superba in China which represented four species, viz., Monochaetia schimaesp. nov., Neopestalotiopsis haikouensissp. nov., Neopestalotiopsis piceana and Pestalotiopsis licualicola. Neopestalotiopsis piceana was a new country record for China and first host record from Ficus macrocarpa. Pestalotiopsis licualicola was first report from Ilex chinensis in China.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
