In this study, five ascomycetous strains were isolated from dead branches and leaves of Salix and Osmanthus fragrans. Analysis of morphological characteristics and gene sequences confirmed the presence of two novel species, named B. salicicola and B. osmanthuse.
Five ascomycetous strains were isolated from dead branches and leaves of Salix (Salicaceae) and Osman-thus fragrans (Oleaceae), respectively. BLAST searches with ITS sequences in GenBank suggested a high degree of similarity to Botryosphaeria dothidea. To accurately identify these strains, we further analysed their morphological characteristics of asci, ascospores, all conidiophore cells and conidia. Phylogenetic relationships, based on ITS, rpb2, tef1 and tub2 gene sequences, confirmed our strains represented two novel species, which are introduced here as B. salicicola and B. osmanthuse spp. nov.
