“…Two species of Diplodia genus, D. seriata and D. mutila were isolated from the surveyed orchards. Diplodia species are well known to cause damage on several economically important species and causing numerous disease symptoms including blight, dieback, rot diseases and canker [24,30,[52][53][54][55][56]. In this study, D. seriata was frequently recovered from the sampling sites, which matches the findings of previous studies indicating the cosmopolitan nature of this species.…”

“…In this study, D. seriata was frequently recovered from the sampling sites, which matches the findings of previous studies indicating the cosmopolitan nature of this species. This latter species is commonly reported as a pathogen on a large number of hosts and has been reported from hundreds of plant species [20,51,52]. D. mutila, the second Diplodia species isolated in this study, was less frequently found in the prospected orchards.…”

“…Nevertheless, this was not the case in another study comparing D. mutila to L. theobromae and D. seriata, in which D mutila was found to have the largest lesions length [62]. According to Linaldeddu et al [30] and Chakusary et al [52], these differences in aggressiveness maybe due to several factors including genetic variability of isolates, age, type of host tissue, differences in susceptibility as well as inoculation methods and experimental conditions. In this case, extensive sampling from citrus as well as other hosts are required to further emphasise the findings and draw a final solid conclusion.…”

Lasiodiplodia mitidjana sp. nov. and other Botryosphaeriaceae species causing branch canker and dieback of Citrus sinensis in Algeria

Several Botryosphaeriaceae species are known to occur worldwide, causing dieback, canker and fruit rot on various hosts. Surveys conducted in ten commercial citrus orchards in the northern region of Algeria revealed five species of Botryosphaeriaceae belonging to three genera associated with diseased trees. Morphological and cultural characteristics as well as phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1-α) identified Diplodia mutila, Diplodia seriata, Dothiorella viticola, Lasiodiplodia mediterranea and a novel species which is here described as Lasiodiplodia mithidjana sp. nov.. Of these, L. mithidjana (14.1% of the samples) and L. mediterranea (13% of the samples) were the most widespread and abundant species. Pathogenicity tests revealed that L. mediterranea and D. seriata were the most aggressive species on citrus shoots. This study highlights the importance of Botryosphaeriaceae species as agents of canker and dieback of citrus trees in Algeria.

“…This species has also been isolated from peach and Japanese plum in South Africa (Damm et al 2008). During a field survey conducted throughout forest areas in the north of Iran, this taxon was also reported from Caucasian persimmon, chestnut-leaved oak, black alder and Persian poplar (Kazemzadeh Chakusary et al 2019). To our knowledge, this is the first report of Do.…”

Branch and trunk canker diseases have become prevalent on nut crops in Iran. During 2015 to 2018, extensive field surveys were conducted on 58 almond, 43 pistachio and 80 walnut orchards in Iran to study fungal pathogens associated with symptomatic trees. One hundred and fifty-six representative fungal isolates were selected and identified based on morphological characteristics and by phylogenetic comparison of DNA sequence data. Fungal species found were Collophorina hispanica, Pleurostoma richardsiae, nine species of Phaeoacremonium (namely P. angustius, P.

Syd., (Kazemzadeh Chakusary et al., 2019), some species of Diatrypaceae Nitschke, B. mediterranea (Kazemzadeh Chakusary, 2017) and Juglanconis pterocaryae (Kuschke) Voglmayr & Jaklitsch, (Voglmayr et al., 2019) can infect forest trees in northern Iran. In this study, 31 Phialophora ‐like isolates (appeared to belong to the Calosphaeriaceae) were isolated from Common medlar ( Mespilus germanica L.) and Persian iron wood ( Parrotia persica [D.C.] C. A. Meyer), and 22 Nodulisporium‐ like isolates were also obtained from Small‐flowered black hawthorn ( Crataegus pentagyna Waldst.…”

In order to study fungal trunk pathogens on some forest trees, a survey was conducted from various forest areas in Guilan Province (in the north of Iran) between October 2012 and May 2015. Samples were collected from branches of diseased trees, and fungal isolations were made from necrotic wood tissues on malt extract agar (MEA) supplemented with 100 mg/L streptomycin sulphate. Fungal isolations from infected branches of forest trees yielded 53 hyphomycetous fungal isolates. All 31 strains isolated from Common medlar (Mespilus germanica) and Persian iron wood (Parrotia persica) exhibited a Phialophora‐like anamorph and were identified as Jattea algeriensis based on morphological characters and phylogenetic analysis. All 22 strains isolated from necrotic tissues of Small‐flowered black hawthorn (Crataegus pentagyna) formed a Nodulisporium‐like anamorph and are identified as Biscogniauxia mediterranea on the basis of morphological characters and DNA sequence data. Pathogenicity tests showed that both species are pathogenic on M. germanica, P. persica wood and Small‐flowered black hawthorn shoots and B. mediterranea proved to be the most aggressive than J. algeriensis. This study is the first report of J. algeriensis on M. germanica and P. persica and also B. mediterranea on C. pentagyna in the world. In addition, J. algeriensis has not previously been reported from Iran and our work also provides the first record of this species in this country.
