A New Species of Neoscytalidium hylocereum sp. nov. Causing Canker on Red-Fleshed Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) in Southern Thailand

Prisana Wonglom et al.

Summary: From 2020 to 2021, red-fleshed dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) cultivated in Phatthalung province, southern Thailand, was infected with canker disease throughout its growth stages. The fungal pathogen responsible for the disease was identified as a new species named Neoscytalidium hylocereum sp. nov. This is the first report of H. polyrhizus serving as a host for N. hylocereum causing stem cankers in Thailand, as confirmed through morphological characterization and molecular identification.

Wen-Li Li et al.

Summary: Surveys conducted in woody oil plantations in Sichuan Province, China in 2020 and 2021 revealed a high diversity of Botryosphaerialean fungi. A total of 50 botryosphaeriaceous isolates were identified, including 12 known species and 4 novel species. The dominant species isolated were Botryosphaeria dothidea, Sardiniella guizhouensis, and Diplodia mutila.

Yuan-Zhi Si et al.

Summary: Cryptomeria japonica, a widely grown coniferous tree species in southern China, has been found to be affected by dieback disease in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Out of the 130 surveyed trees, over 90% showed the same symptom of brown crowns with no visible difference in bark. A total of 157 isolates were isolated from affected C. japonica plants, and seven of them were identified as pathogenic to the trees, causing stem basal canker.

Botryosphaeriaceae diversity on Eucalyptus clones in different climate zones of Indonesia

Fahimeh Jami et al.

Summary: This study investigated the diversity of Botryosphaeriaceae in different Eucalyptus clones in North and Central Sumatra, Indonesia, identifying 13 species including a newly discovered Lasiodiplodia riauensis. While some species were found in both climatic zones, others were specific to certain areas, with no correlation found between fungal species diversity and damage caused by insects or E. necatrix disease.

Achala R. Rathnayaka et al.

Summary: Botryosphaeriaceae is the largest family in Botryosphaeriales, distributed worldwide on various plant hosts. This study identified two new species and recorded new hosts and geographical distributions through morphological and phylogenetic analyses. These findings are important for understanding canker and die-back diseases in woody plants.

Species of Botryosphaeriaceae associated with citrus branch diseases in China

X. E. Xiao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the diversity of Botryosphaeriaceae species associated with citrus branch diseases in China. A total of 18 species were identified, with Botryosphaeria dothidea and L. pseudotheobromae being the most common pathogens. All 18 species showed pathogenicity to Citrus reticulata shoots in vitro, but not all were pathogenic to Cocktail grapefruit (C. paradisi x C. reticulata) shoots in vivo. Lasiodiplodia was found to be the most aggressive genus both in vitro and in vivo.

What are fungal species and how to delineate them?

K. W. Thilini Chethana et al.

Summary: Defining and recognizing fungal species has long been a controversial issue, with over 30 species criteria proposed since Darwin's origin of species. Phylogenetic analyses based on multiple loci are widely used, but can mask discordances among fungal groups. In order to delimit fungal species, phylogenetic and phenotypic coherence, as well as the timing of events leading to speciation, need to be considered.
