“…The family Shiraiaceae was introduced by Liu et al (2013) to accommodate the bamboo parasitic genus Shiraia in suborder Pleosporineae. Phylogenetically, Shiraiaceae has close affinity with Phaeosphaeriaceae.…”

“…Shiraiaceae species are mainly characterised by pinkish ascostromata that form on bamboo with many locules containing bitunicate asci each with six symmetrical, muriform ascospores (Hyde et al 2013, Liu et al 2013). The asexual morph is produced in immature ascostromata and form hyaline muriform, asymmetrical conidia (Hyde et al 2013, Liu et al 2013). Shiraia was introduced by Hennings (1900), based on S.bambusicola , as a monotypic genus.…”

The order Pleosporales comprises a miscellaneous group of fungi and is considered to be the largest order of the class Dothideomycetes. The circumscription of Pleosporales has undergone numerous changes in recent years due to the addition of large numbers of families reported from various habitats and with a large amount of morphological variation. Many asexual genera have been reported in Pleosporales and can be either hyphomycetes or coelomycetes. Phoma-like taxa are common and have been shown to be polyphyletic within the order and allied with several sexual genera. During the exploration of biodiversity of pleosporalean fungi in Taiwan, a fungal strain was isolated from mycelium growing on the fruiting body of an Ophiocordyceps species. Fruiting structures that developed on PDA were morphologically similar to Phoma and its relatives in having pycnidial conidiomata with hyaline conidia. The fungus is characterised by holoblastic, cylindrical, aseptate conidiogenous cells and cylindrical, hyaline, aseptate, guttulated, thin-walled conidia. Phylogenetic analysis based on six genes, ITS, LSU, rpb2, SSU, tef1 and tub2, produced a phylogenetic tree with the newly generated sequences grouping in a distinct clade separate from all of the known families. Therefore, a new pleosporalean family Tzeananiaceae is established to accommodate the monotypic genus Tzeanania and the species T.taiwanensis in Pleosporales, Dothideomycetes. The Ophiocordyceps species was identified as O.macroacicularis and this is a new record in Taiwan.

“…This large order comprises two main suborders, namely Pleosporineae and Massarineae. Pleosporineae includes nine families: Cucurbitariaceae, Didymellaceae, Didymosphaeriaceae, Dothidotthiaceae, Leptosphaeriaceae, Phaeosphaeriaceae, Pleosporaceae 9 , Halojulellaceae, and Shiraiaceae 10,11 , while Massarineae includes six families: Bambusicolaceae 1 , Montagnulaceae, Lentitheciaceae, Massarinaceae, Morosphaeriaceae, and Trematosphaeriaceae 2 . Ariyawansa et al 7 have however synonymized Montagnulaceae under Didymosphaeriaceae by giving the priority to the oldest name.…”

ABSTRACT:A new species of Keissleriella (Lentitheciaceae) is described from a dead stem of Dactylis glomerata collected in Italy. The new taxon is supported by morphology and phylogenetic analysis of SSU, LSU, and TEF1α sequence data. The combined analysis of gene data indicate that Keissleriella dactylidis sp. nov. forms a distinct clade within the genus Keissleriella. The species is characterized by immersed, erumpent, dark grey to black ascomata with papilla containing brown periphyses, and cylindrical asci with hyaline, ellipsoid, 4-5-septate ascospores with a thin mucilaginous sheath. A synopsis of the characteristics of Keissleriella dactylidis and other species is provided and the new species is justified and compared with similar taxa. This is the first report of a Keissleriella species from the grass Dactylis glomerata.

“…But the phylogeny is unclear. Recently, the research results show that a new family Shiraiaceae (Pleosporale, Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota) was established with S. bambusicola as representative gene and species [1]. Stromata of S. bambusicola has a long history as a traditional Chinese medicine, and are the raw material for extracting of hypocrellin [2].…”

Abstract. DNA of Sharaia bambuiscola was extracted by the improved method of CTAB. The several key factors affecting the effect of DNA digestion and the PCR selective amplification such as the time of DNA digestion, the times of the per-amplified dilute products, the mount of the selective amplification primer, Taq concentration and dNTPs concentration were optimized and trialed with establishment of an optimized AFLP reaction system of S. bambusicola. The best time of digestion DNA with double endonucleases (EcoRⅠand MseⅠ) was 3h. The optimized selection amplification system was 25µl reaction mix containing 2.5µl the 20 times of the per-amplified dilute products, 2.5µL 10× buffer(with Mg 2+ ), 10mmol/L primer each 1.5µL, 2.5U· µL -1 Taq polymerase 0.7µL, 10mmol/L dNTP 0.5µL, and 15.8µL ddH 2 O. Stable and clean DNA finger print can be obtained and 3 pairs of AFLP primers with good genetic diversity were selected according to the optimized reaction system. The results will be an effective protocol for further studying the genetic stucture and differentiation, phylogenetic trees, host specificity and artificial cultivation of Shiraia bambusicola population.
