“…As for phylogenetic analysis for Diaporthe species, the use of a five-locus dataset ( ITS - TUB - TEF - CAL - HIS ) is the optimal combination for species delimitation as revealed by Santos et al (2017) . Thus, in recent years, many Diaporthe species have been described based on a polyphasic approach combined with morphological characterization and their host associations ( Guarnaccia and Crous 2017 ; Gao et al 2017 ; Yang et al 2018 , 2020 ; Crous et al 2020 ; Dayarathne et al 2020 ; Guo et al 2020 ; Hyde et al 2020 ; Li et al 2020 ; Zapata et al 2020 ).…”

Diaporthe species have often been reported as plant pathogens, endophytes and saprophytes, commonly isolated from a wide range of infected plant hosts. In the present study, twenty strains obtained from leaf spots of twelve host plants in Yunnan Province of China were isolated. Based on a combination of morphology, culture characteristics and multilocus sequence analysis of the rDNA internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF), β-tubulin (TUB), calmodulin (CAL), and histone (HIS) genes, these strains were identified as eight new species: Diaporthe camelliae-sinensis, D. grandiflori, D. heliconiae, D. heterostemmatis, D. litchii, D. lutescens, D. melastomatis, D. pungensis and two previously described species, D. subclavata and D. tectonendophytica. This study showed high species diversity of Diaporthe in tropical rain forests and its hosts in south-western China.

“…Jones who worked in BIOTEC, Thailand, University of Malaya, Malaysia and other Asian regions. Marine environments in Asia have been a genesis of many novel fungal taxa [62,63], with molecular data being included in most studies. Countries with reports of new species of marine fungi over the past decade (2010-2019) are India [64], Japan [65,66], Malaysia [67], Saudi Arabia [68,69] and Thailand [63].…”

Mycology was a well-studied discipline in Australia and New Zealand, Europe, South Africa and the USA. In Asia (with the exception of Japan) and South America, the fungi were generally poorly known and studied, except for the result of forays from some American and European mycologists. However, in the last 20 years, the situation has changed. With the development of Asian economies, the funding for science research and development has greatly increased. Mycological research has also diversified in many fields. Many studies have focused on applied aspects and new journals and websites have been established as a platform for Asian mycologists to publish their research. This paper will briefly review the history of the study of fungi in Asia and then discuss how it advanced during the last two decades. It will examine the current situation using case studies in plant pathogens, terrestrial saprobes, aquatic fungi, evolution studies, genomics and applied mycology and biotechnology. Finally, it will suggest research that is needed in the future.

“…Most fungi reported from mangrove hosts belong to Ascomycota (Dayarathne et al 2020). Among them, studies on marine Dothideomycetes have increased exponentially in recent years (Suetrong et al 2009, Pang et al 2013, Loganathachetti et al 2017, Devadatha et al, 2018a,b,c,2019, Kumar et al 2019b, Zhang et al 2019.…”

Fungi inhabiting the aerial parts of two mangrove trees, Nypa fruticans, and Rhizophora apiculata, were studied from the central region of Thailand, utilizing morpho-molecular characteristics. Three different fungal taxa were isolated including Rhytidhysteron kirshnacephalus sp. nov., Lasiodiplodia citricola and Striatiguttula phoenicis. Sexual morphs are reported for these three taxa and the asexual morph of Striatiguttula phoenicis is identified based on molecular data. This is the first asexual morph report for the genus Striatiguttula as well as the family Striatiguttulaceae. The new isolate of Striatiguttula phoenicis differs slightly from other extant species in the genus in terms of measurements of ascomata, asci, ascospores, and thickness of peridium. Also, a pigmented hamathecium was observed in this species. The morphological results are congruent to the phylogenetic results of previous studies and support Striatiguttula phoenicis as a new host record from Nypa fruticans. Rhytidhysteron kirshnacephalus was collected from dead twigs of a standing Rhizophora apiculata in Cha-am and it has significant morphological and molecular differences to support its establishment as a novel taxon. Phylogenetically, Rhytidhysteron kirshnacephalus forms a sister clade to Rh. magnoliae, but has different ascomatal characters, including, smooth margins without striations and black pruina. Lasiodiplodia citricola is another species from Cha-am and a new record from Thai mangroves. Detailed descriptions of the isolates, along with their potential ecological roles, are provided. We have also provided the occurrence of fungi from the aerial parts of mangrove trees worldwide.
