“…Several studies in recent years have highlighted the need to use additional phylogenetic markers to achieve accurate species identification (e.g. Bensch et al, 2012, Damm et al, 2012a, Damm et al, 2012b, Phillips et al, 2013and Wikee et al, 2013. In general, protein-coding genes have higher species resolution power due to their variable intron sequences.…”

Highlights• Ramulariais the correct name for species in Mycosphaerella s. str.• Most species named in Mycosphaerella represent other genera.• Very few Ramularia spp. have confirmed Mycosphaerella sexual morphs.• Ramularia contains both host-specific, and wide host range species. AbstractIn this study we aimed to resolve the Ramularia endophylla species-complex by applying a polyphasic approach involving morphology and multi-gene phylogeny. Eleven partial genes were targeted for amplification and sequencing for a total of 81 isolates representing R. endophylla s. lat. and 32 isolates representing 11 Ramularia species that were previously linked to a Mycosphaerella sexual morph in literature. A Bayesian phylogenetic analysis, as well as a parsimony analysis, was performed on a combined five-locus dataset and the resulting trees showed significant support for three species within the complex, including the previously described R. endophylla and R. vizellae, and one novel species, Ramularia unterseheri. A parsimony analysis was also separately performed with mating-type gene sequences (MAT1-1-1 and MAT1-2-1) and the resulting tree topologies were in accordance with that of the multigene analysis. A bibliographic review of the proposed links between Ramularia spp. and their purported Mycosphaerella sexual morphs is also presented, confirming six connections in Ramularia. In spite of more than 10 000 species having been described in Mycosphaerella, the majority is shown to belong to other genera, suggesting that the taxa identified as Mycosphaerella in much of the plant pathology literature needs to be revisited.

“…A wide host range has also been reported (Sutton 1980). Recently, however, confirmed hosts of D. mutila have included only Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, Fraxinus spp., Malus spp., Populus spp., Taxus baccata and Vitis vinifera (Phillips et al 2013;Alves et al 2014). Molecular characterization of Polish isolates of this fungus were reported by Kraj et al (2013), who showed that isolates of D. mutila from F. excelsior in Poland were genetically very similar to isolates from other regions of the world.…”

F. excelsior is affected by dieback in the major part of its natural geographical range in Europe, which results in economic and ecological losses. The disease is caused by the ascomycetous fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, a pathogen introduced to Europe most probably from East Asia. This paper presents data on fungi identified on F. excelsior trees representing two different stages of ash dieback in Poland. Fungal communities were identified in initial necrotic lesions on living stems and twigs using the classical method of isolation on malt extract agar and morphological and molecular analyses. In dead apical parts of stems and twigs, fungi were identified by microscopic analyses of fruit bodies formed in situ. Seventy-one fungal taxa were found in 720 samples with symptoms of initial or advanced necrosis. The most common fungus detected in initial necrotic lesions in each forest site was Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (59.2 % of analysed samples). Other frequently isolated fungi included Alternaria alternata, Diaporthe eres, Diplodia mutila, Fusarium avenaceum, F. lateritium and Phomopsis spp. Fruit bodies on dead apical parts of stems and twigs were produced mostly by Diaporthe eres, Diplodia mutila, Lophiostoma corticola, Phomopsis spp., Sirodothis sp. and Valsa cypri. Fungal communities from different sites were similar, as shown by high Sørensen similarity index values. Greatest variation in fungal community structure at the initial necrotic stage was realized by D. mutila and F. avenaceum, and at the advanced necrotic stage by D. eres, D. mutila and Phomopsis spp. Data show a close affinity of certain fungi to site, suggesting geographical relatedness. The ecological effects of distribution of the invasive H. fraxineus and of other fungi sporulating on diseased ash trees in Europe are discussed.

Patogenicidade de espécies de Botryosphaeriaceae endofíticas de plantas da Caatinga do estado do Ceará em manga e umbu-cajá

Espécies de Botryosphaeriaceae são importantes patógenos em diversas plantas lenhosas e não lenhosas, causando diferentes tipos de sintomas. Espécies desta família são usualmente consideradas patógenos fracos, causando doenças apenas quando estas plantas se encontram sob algum tipo de estresse como seca, temperaturas baixas ou elevadas, deficiência nutricional e danos causados por outros patógenos ou pragas. No entanto, pouco se conhece sobre a ocorrência e diversidade de espécies de Botryosphaeriaceae em plantas nativas do bioma Caatinga, localizado no Semiárido, e sobre a presença de fungos endofíticos nessas espécies, e muito menos sobre a sua importância como patógenos. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a patogenicidade de 74 isolados representando Espécies de Botryosphaeriaceae (Dothideomycetes) têm distribuição mundial, sendo encontradas em todas as regiões geográficas, incluindo áreas de clima tropical, temperado e até em ambiente marinho, com exceção das regiões polares (2,34,35,38). Já foram relatadas infectando plantas do grupo das monocotiledôneas, dicotiledôneas e gimnospermas, e até liquens (1). Seus hospedeiros incluem uma diversidade de plantas de importância agronômica, florestal e ornamental (1, 8). Entre as doenças causadas por espécies de Botryosphaeriaceae estão podridão de frutos, manchas foliares, tombamento e podridão de colo em mudas, cancros, secas em brotos e mudas, gomose, seca descendente, vassoura-de-bruxa e morte de árvores (41).Espécies de Botryosphaeriaceae são frequentemente descritas como oportunistas ou patógenos latentes, os quais apresentam longo período de latência antes que algum fator como, por exemplo, estresse hídrico faça com que eles se tornem patogênicos, causando, frequentemente, cancros em seus hospedeiros (6,28,42,45). Essas espécies são bem conhecidas como endofíticas em uma variedade de plantas arbóreas. Entre as principais famílias botânicas já estudadas incluem-se Moraceae, Myrtaceae, Proteacea, Leguminosae, Pinaceae, Vitaceae e Anacardiaceae (6, 8, 9,15,16,24,27,29,42,43,44).No Ceará, o bioma Caatinga cobre uma área de 126.926 km 2 , ABSTRACTSpecies of the Botryosphaeriaceae are important pathogens in several woody and non-woody plants, causing different types of symptoms. Species of this family are usually regarded as weak pathogens, only causing diseases when plants are under some type of stress such as drought, hot or cold weather, poor nutrition and damage caused by other pathogens or pests. However, little is known about the occurrence and diversity of Botryosphaeriaceae species in native plants of the biome Caatinga, located in the Brazilian Semi-Arid Region, and about the presence of endophytic fungi in these species; even less is known about their importance as pathogens. The aim of the present study was to assess the pathogenicity of 74 isolates representing the species Botyosphaeria mamane, Pseudofusicoccum adansoniae, P. stromaticum, the complex Neofusicoccum parvum/ribis, Lasiodiplodia gonubiensis and L.theobromae, identified for the first ...
