“…1 ). Our collection has similar morphological features to T. canangae , such as indistinct conidiophores, ellipsoid to coronal, terminal conidiogenous cells, and mainly subcylindrical conidia ( Silva et al 2022 ). Thus, we identify our isolate as T. canangae based on both morphology and multigene phylogeny, and it is a new record for freshwater habitat in China.…”

While investigating the diversity of lignicolous fungi in Yunnan Province, China, six fresh collections of Torulaceae were collected and identified based on morphological examination and phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU, ITS, SSU, tef1-α, and rpb2 sequence data. Two new species, viz. Neopodoconis yunnanensis and Torula suae, and three new records, viz. T. canangae (new freshwater habitat record), T. masonii (new host record), and T. sundara (new freshwater habitat record) are reported. Detailed descriptions, illustrations, and a phylogenetic tree to show the placement of these species are provided.

“… Silva et al (2022) first introduced Torula canangae , which was collected from terrestrial habitats on dead twigs of Cananga odorata in Thailand. In this study, phylogenetic analyses showed that our collection clustered with the ex-type strain of T. canangae (MFLUCC 21–0169) with 100% ML /1.00 PP support (Fig.…”

“…For instance, Crane et al [ 11 ] re-examined several hyphomycetous species previously placed in the Torula and found that T. rhombica and T. terrestris do not seem to be congenerous with T. herbarum , and transferred to them Bahusandhika . Recently, new species have been identified based on molecular data and morphology, and to date, only 23 species have sequence data [ 1 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 8 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 20 , 38 , 39 , 40 ].…”

Torula is an asexual and hyphomycetous genus in the family Torulaceae. Torula species are generally saprophytic. They have a worldwide distribution and abound in humid or freshwater habitats. In order to better understand this genus, we carried out several field collections from Sichuan, China. As a result, we obtained nine Torula isolates from dead woody substrates in terrestrial and freshwater habitats. Based on a biphasic approach of morphological examination and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses (ITS, SSU, LSU, TEF, RPB2), these collections were identified as belonging to seven Torula species. Four of them were new species (Torula chinensis, T. longiconidiophora, T. sichuanensis and T. submersa), and the other three belonged to existing species, though one was found for the first time in China (T. masonii). Morphological and updated phylogenetic delamination of the new discoveries is also discussed. This study provides further insights into our understanding of wood-based Torula species in China.

“…The PHI test result also showed that D. zhaoqingensis and D. chiangmaiensis were not conspecific, indicating that they are different species ( Figure 2 e). Diaporthe zhaoqingensis was isolated as an endophyte on Morinda officinalis [ 18 ], and D. chiangmaiensis was isolated from Magnolia lilifera as an endophyte and saprobe [ 47 ]. However, the morphological characteristics of these two species could not be compared as only gamma conidia were observed in D. zhaoqingensis while alpha conidia were observed in D. chiangmaiensis [ 18 , 47 ].…”

“…The initial phylogenetic analysis was conducted based on the ITS sequence dataset from Norphanphoun et al [ 32 ] to identify the placement of our isolates within species complexes. The newly generated sequences and their related sequences were then selected for the concatenated ITS, tef1-α , tub2 , cal , and his3 sequence dataset based on the BLASTn search results and updated literature [ 18 , 22 , 32 , 46 , 47 , 48 ] ( Table 1 ). The alignment of a single locus dataset was performed using MAFFT v.7 ( , assessed on 1 March 2023) [ 49 ] and the ambiguous sites were manually adjusted using BioEdit 7.1.3.0 [ 50 ].…”

During our investigations of the microfungi on medicinal plants in Thailand, five isolates of Diaporthe were obtained. These isolates were identified and described using a multiproxy approach, viz. morphology, cultural characteristics, host association, the multiloci phylogeny of ITS, tef1-α, tub2, cal, and his3, and DNA comparisons. Five new species, Diaporthe afzeliae, D. bombacis, D. careyae, D. globoostiolata, and D. samaneae, are introduced as saprobes from the plant hosts, viz. Afzelia xylocarpa, Bombax ceiba, Careya sphaerica, a member of Fagaceae, and Samanea saman. Interestingly, this is the first report of Diaporthe species on these plants, except on the Fagaceae member. The morphological comparison, updated molecular phylogeny, and pairwise homoplasy index (PHI) analysis strongly support the establishment of novel species. Our phylogeny also revealed the close relationship between D. zhaoqingensis and D. chiangmaiensis; however, the evidence from the PHI test and DNA comparison indicated that they are distinct species. These findings improve the existing knowledge of taxonomy and host diversity of Diaporthe species as well as highlight the untapped potential of these medicinal plants for searching for new fungi.
