Botryosphaeriaceae: Current status of genera and species

Abstract

The Botryosphaeriaceae comprises endophytes, saprobes and plant pathogens. Recently, some taxa in Botryosphaeriaceae have undergone nomenclatural changes. This paper represents the first comprehensive overview of Botryosphaeriaceae since 2013. Twenty three genera and 187 species of Botryosphaeriaceae are listed alphabetically, brief notes for species in each genus are provided. Information is provided for the location of ex-type isolates, new host records and geographical distribution of species. Available DNA sequences from ex-type isolates are listed in a table and multilocus phylogenetic trees for major genera in Botryosphaeriaceae are provided.

Identification of endophytic fungi from leaves of Pandanaceae based on their morphotypes and DNA sequence data from southern Thailand

“…Botryosphaeriales is a diverse order with a worldwide distribution, comprising species that vary from endophytes to pathogens (Slippers and Wingfield 2007; Phillips et al 2013; Chethana et al 2016; Daranagama et al 2016; Dissanayake et al 2016; Konta et al 2016a, b; Linaldeddu et al 2016a, b, c; Manawasinghe et al 2016; Zhang et al 2017). Currently, nine families are recognised, namely, Aplosporellaceae, Botryosphaeriaceae, Endomelanconiopsisaceae, Melanopsaceae, Phyllostictaceae, Planistromellaceae, Pseudofusicoccumaceae, Saccharataceae and Septorioideaceae (Schoch et al 2006; Minnis et al 2012; Wikee et al 2013; Slippers et al 2013; Wyka and Broders 2016; Dissanayake et al 2016; Yang et al 2017). In this study, Endomelanconiopsis freycinetiae is introduced as a new species and reports are provided on Phyllosticta capitalensis and Lasiodiplodia theobromae .…”

Evaluation of long‐term protection from nursery to vineyard provided by Trichoderma atroviride SC1 against fungal grapevine trunk pathogens

“…Plates were incubated for 10–15 days at 25 °C in the dark, and all emerging colonies were transferred to potato dextrose agar (PDA). Preliminary morphological identification of the colonies was conducted by observation of cultural and microscope characters for Botryosphaeriaceae, Cadophora luteo‐olivacea , Cylindrocarpon ‐like asexual morphs, the genus Phaeoacremonium and Phaeomoniella chlamydospora …”

“…Preliminary morphological identification of the colonies was conducted by observation of cultural and microscope characters for Botryosphaeriaceae, Cadophora luteo-olivacea, Cylindrocarpon-like asexual morphs, the genus Phaeoacremonium and Phaeomoniella chlamydospora. [36][37][38][39][40][41] For species identity confirmation, fungal mycelium and conidia from pure cultures grown on PDA for 2-3 weeks at 25 ∘ C in the dark were scraped and mechanically disrupted using FastPrep-24™5G (MP Biomedicals, Santa Ana, CA, USA). Total DNA was extracted using the E.Z.N.A.…”

Identification of endophytic fungi from leaves of Pandanaceae based on their morphotypes and DNA sequence data from southern Thailand

“…The order Botryosphaeriales was introduced by Schoch et al (2006) with Botryosphaeriaceae as the type family. Botryosphaeriales is a diverse order with a worldwide distribution, comprising species that vary from endophytes to pathogens (Slippers and Wingfield 2007;Phillips et al 2013;Chethana et al 2016;Daranagama et al 2016;Dissanayake et al 2016;Konta et al 2016a, b;Linaldeddu et al 2016a, b, c;Manawasinghe et al 2016;Zhang et al 2017). Currently, nine families are recognised, namely, Aplosporellaceae, Botryosphaeriaceae, Endomelanconiopsisaceae, Melanopsaceae, Phyllostictaceae, Planistromellaceae, Pseudofusicoccumaceae, Saccharataceae and Septorioideaceae Minnis et al 2012;Wikee et al 2013;Slippers et al 2013;Wyka and Broders 2016;Dissanayake et al 2016;Yang et al 2017).…”
