Three noteworthy pleosporalean fungi on Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) and grapevine (Vitis sp.) from Qujing, Yunnan, P. R. China

Abstract

Three pleosporalean fungi were collected from Qujing, Yunnan, China. Morphological characterisation and multigene phylogenetic analyses confirmed that these fungi belong to the order Pleosporales but in different families. Alternaria alternata sensu lato (Pleosporaceae) is reported herein as a new geographical record from southwestern China. Neocucurbitaria juglandicola (Cucurbitariaceae) is reported from Magnolia grandiflora as a new host and country record. Phragmocamarosporium qujingensis (Lentitheciaceae) is reported from Vitis sp. for the first time. Morphological data, photographic illustrations and descriptions are provided along with the phylogenetic trees.
