Background Maple is an important ornamental plant in China. With the increasing use of maple trees in landscaping, a symptom of shoot dieback has been observed in Henan province, China. Results In this study, 28 Diaporthe isolates were obtained from symptomatic shoots of maple trees between 2020 and 2023. Phylogenetic analyses based on five loci (ITS, TEF , CAL , HIS and TUB ) coupled with morphology of 12 representative isolates identified three known species ( D. eres , D. pescicola and D. spinosa ) and one new species, namely D. pseudoacerina sp. nov. Koch’s postulates confirmed that all these species were pathogenic. Additionally, D. pseudoacerina was able to infect China wingnut ( Pterocarya stenoptera ), pear ( Pyrus sp.), and black locust ( Robinia pseudoacacia ). This study marks the first report of Diaporthe spinosa and D. pescicola pathogens infecting maple trees. Conclusions These findings enhance the existing knowledge of the taxonomy and host diversity of Diaporthe species as, while also providing valuable information for managing of maple shoot dieback in Henan Province, 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.
