Genera of Phytopathogenic Fungi (GOPHY) is introduced as a new series of publications in order to provide a stable platform for the taxonomy of phytopathogenic fungi. This first paper focuses on 21 genera of phytopathogenic fungi: Bipolaris, Boeremia, Calonectria, Ceratocystis, Cladosporium, Colletotrichum, Coniella, Curvularia, Monilinia, Neofabraea, Neofusicoccum, Pilidium, Pleiochaeta, Plenodomus, Protostegia, Pseudopyricularia, Puccinia, Saccharata, Thyrostroma, Venturia and Wilsonomyces. For each genus, a morphological description and information about its pathology, distribution, hosts and disease symptoms are provided. In addition, this information is linked to primary and secondary DNA barcodes of the presently accepted species, and relevant literature. Moreover, several novelties are introduced, i.e. new genera, species and combinations, and neo-, lecto- and epitypes designated to provide a stable taxonomy. This first paper includes one new genus, 26 new species, ten new combinations, and four typifications of older names.

“…Colletotrichum siamense was originally described as a pathogen of coffee berries in Thailand (Prihastuti et al, ), but this species is biologically and geographically diverse and attacks many hosts across several tropical and subtropical regions (Weir et al, ). In addition to infecting coffee, C. siamense a wide host range, including on fruit of Persea americana, Carica papaya and Capsicum annuum , leaves of Hymenocallis americana , Hevea brasiliensis and Camellia sinensis , and seed of Dioscorea rotundata (Liu et al, ; Wang et al, ; Weir et al, ). It has been confirmed that C. siamense can infect more than 60 plant species worldwide (Ji et al, ).…”

Sterculia nobilis is an important tropical woody plant with high ornamental and economic value. At present, there are few reports of diseases on this plant. In August 2018, an unknown leaf spot disease was observed on S. nobilis in Nanning, China, affecting the inner leaves of the canopy and causing considerable defoliation. The pathogen was isolated, and pathogenicity tests carried out on detached leaves to verify Koch's postulates. Based on morphological observations and polygenic analyses, the pathogen causing leaf spots on S. nobilis was identified as Colletotrichum siamense.

“…The fungus C. fructicola is both a pathogen and an endophyte of several plant species, while C. camelliae was only isolated as a pathogen of Ca. sinensis in previous studies [22,23]. The interaction of tea and C. camelliae would be a useful pathosystem to elucidate various aspects of woody medicinal plant-fungi interactions.…”

“…Colletotrichum camelliae and C. fructicola were the species most often isolated and were proposed as dominant pathogens of tea [20][21][22][23]. Colletotrichum camelliae damages tea leaves and causes several tea diseases known as tea leaf blight, tea brown blight, or tea anthracnose [10,[21][22][23][24]. The fungus C. fructicola is both a pathogen and an endophyte of several plant species, while C. camelliae was only isolated as a pathogen of Ca.…”

Background: Tea, which is produced from new shoots of existing tea plants (Camellia sinensis), is one of the most popular, non-alcoholic, healthy beverages worldwide. Colletotrichum camelliae is one of the dominant fungal pathogens of tea. The interaction of C. camelliae with tea could be a useful pathosystem to elucidate various aspects of woody, medicinal plant-fungal interactions. Currently, many studies characterizing resistance or virulence and aggressiveness use lesion size at the infection sites on the leaves to quantify the growth of the pathogen. However, this method does not offer the sensitivity needed for the robust quantification of small changes in aggressiveness or the accurate quantification of pathogen growth at the early stages of infection. Results:A quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay was developed for the quantification of C. camelliae growth on tea plant. This method was based on the comparison of fungal DNA in relation to plant biomass. This assay was used to investigate the phenotypes of tea plant cultivars in response to C. camelliae infection. Two cultivars, Zhongcha 108 (ZC108) and Longjing 43 (LJ43), were tested with this method. ZC108 was previously reported as an anthracnose-resistant cultivar against C. camelliae, while LJ43 was susceptible. The traditional lesion measurement method showed that both cultivars were susceptible to a virulent strain of C. camelliae, while the qRT-PCR approach indicated that very little fungal growth occurred in the anthracnose-resistant cultivar ZC108. The observed results in this study were consistent with previously published research. In addition, the DNA-based real-time PCR method was applied for analysis of pathogenic differences in general C. camelliae isolates and among several Colletotrichum spp that infect tea. Conclusions:This study showed that the DNA-based qRT-PCR technique is rapid, highly sensitive and easily applicable for routine experiments and could be used in screening for resistant tea plant cultivars or to identify differences in pathogen aggressiveness within and among Colletotrichum species.
