“…To date, more than 25 species have been found from bamboo [2,3,10,11]. Apiospora species can cause leaf necrosis and twig dieback in the olive tree (Olea europaea), leaf edge spot of the peach (Prunus persica), blight disease of bamboo (Schizostachyum), leaf spot of rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus), kernel blight of barley (Hordeum vulgare) and brown culm streak of Phyllostachys praecox [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Some species have also been isolated from lichens, air, soil and animal tissues, and a few species are human pathogens which can cause cutaneous infections in humans [9,[18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

The genus Apiospora is known as a cosmopolitan genus, found across various substrates. In this study, four Apiospora taxa were obtained from the decaying stems of bamboo and maize in northern Thailand. Apiospora collections were compared with known species based on the morphological characteristics and the DNA sequence data of internal transcribed spacer (ITS), the partial large subunit nuclear rDNA (LSU), the translation elongation factor 1-alpha gene (TEF1-α) and beta-tubulins (TUB2). Apiospora chiangraiense sp. nov. and two new host records (Ap. intestini and Ap. rasikravindra) are introduced here based on the morphological characteristics and multi-locus analyses. Additionally, thirteen species previously identified as Arthrinium are introduced as new combinations in Apiospora, viz., Ap. acutiapica, Ap. bambusicola, Ap. biserialis, Ap. cordylines, Ap. cyclobalanopsidis, Ap. euphorbiae, Ap. gelatinosa, Ap. locuta-pollinis, Ap. minutispora, Ap. pseudorasikravindrae, Ap. septate, Ap. setariae and Ap. sorghi.

“…One fungal OTU identi ed as bene cial was the species Arthrinium arundinis. Previously, A. arundinis was described as a pathogen causing kernel blight in barley and leaf edge spot of peach, despite being correlated with non-ARD trees in the present study (Cano 1992;Ji et al 2020). A. arundinis has also been shown to produce antifungal and cytotoxic compounds when isolated from the leaves of tobacco (Zhang et al 2018).…”

Purpose Apple rootstock genotypes confer different levels of tolerance to apple replant disease (ARD) and vigour to a newly replanted apple tree. A hybrid management system of rotating the rootstock genotype planted between successive generations and inter-row planting in the alleyways of orchards may minimise the severity of ARD symptoms by altering the communities in the rhizosphere microbiome. Methods High-throughput sequencing of the fungal ITS and bacterial 16S regions was used to investigate the diversity, and differential taxa present in soils displaying symptoms of ARD. Candidate pathogens and beneficial microorganisms were correlated with the above-ground establishment of each rootstock genotype in a U.K. cider orchard. Results Our results suggest rootstocks that are more closely genetically related to the previous rootstock had more severe ARD. Planting in the alleyway appeared an effective strategy to minimise the severity of symptoms irrespective of rootstock genotype. The planting location effect had a higher contribution to the variation in rhizosphere microbiome than the rootstock genotype contribution. No causal agents for ARD could be identified to a taxonomic level to predict their function but two taxa associated with mycorrhizae, Pteridiospora spinosispora and Paraglomus laccatum were identified to be beneficial for the plant to minimise ARD severity. Conclusions Our findings suggest a hybrid management approach of rotating rootstock genotype to a rootstock dissimilar to those previously planted, planting rootstocks in the alleyway, and biological amendment with beneficial microorganisms could be an effective strategy to minimise severity of ARD.

“…They are reported as important plant pathogens causing significant damage to economic plants. For example, Apiospora arundinis (previously known as Arthrinium arundinis) is a causal agent of leaf edge spot disease of peach (Prunus persica) in China, with a 20 to 40% disease incidence in two hectares of a severely infected peach orchard [19]. Apiospora arundinis has been commonly reported as the pathogen of Phyllostachys praecox, causing brown culm streak [20].…”

Apiospora, an ascomycetous genus in Apiosporaceae, comprises saprobes, endophytes, and pathogens of humans and plants. They have a cosmopolitan distribution with a wide range of hosts reported from Asia. In the present study, we collected and isolated Apiospora species from Wurfbainia villosa and grasses in Guangdong and Yunnan provinces in China. Multi-locus phylogeny based on the internal transcribed spacer, the large subunit nuclear rDNA, the partial translation elongation factor 1-α, and β-tubulin was performed to clarify the phylogenetic affinities of the Apiospora species. Based on the distinctive morphological characteristics and molecular evidence, Ap. endophytica, Ap. guangdongensis, Ap. wurfbainiae, and Ap. yunnanensis are proposed. Descriptions, illustrations, and notes for the newly discovered species are provided and compared with closely related Apiospora species. An updated phylogeny of Apiospora is presented, along with a discussion on the phylogenetic affinities of ambiguous taxa.
