New Species of Nectriaceae (Hypocreales) from China.

ABSTRACT: Species of Nectriaceae commonly occur on living and decaying woody substrates, soil, fruitbodies of other fungi, and insects. Some of them are reported as endophytes, opportunistic pathogens of crops and humans, or producers of mycotoxins. To explore the species diversity of the family, specimens from different regions of China were collected and examined. Four novel taxa of Penicillifer, Pseudocosmospora, and Thelonectria were introduced on the basis of morphological characteristics and DNA sequence analyses of combined datasets of the act, ITS, LSU, rpb1, rpb2, tef1, and tub2 regions. Differences between the new species and their close relatives were compared and discussed.

Two new species of Nectriaceae (Hypocreales, Sordariomycetes) from Yunnan, China.

Project description:Nectriaceae is a highly diverse family, and members have a worldwide distribution, particularly in warm temperate to tropical regions. During the survey of fungal diversity in different habitats in Yunnan province, China, two new species isolated from soil and air respectively, namely Atractiumyunnanense sp. nov. and Nalanthamalaxishuangbannaensis sp. nov., were proposed based on morphological comparisons and the multi-gene phylogenetic analyses of combined ITS, LSU, rpb2, and tub2 sequence data. Phylogenetically, both species clustered in a monophyletic clade within Nectriaceae with strong support. A.yunnanense is characterized by synnematous conidiophores, pale olivaceous-green, clavate to oblong-ellipsoidal, multi-septate conidia, and pale olivaceous-green chlamydospores. N.xishuangbannaensis has acremonium-like or penicillium-like conidiophores and either obovate or ellipsoidal, cylindrical or fusiform conidia. Full descriptions, illustrations, and a phylogenetic tree showing the phylogenetic position of the two new species were provided.

Morphological and phylogenetic analyses reveal two new species of the Fusariumfujikuroi (Hypocreales, Nectriaceae) species complex in China.

Project description:The Fusariumfujikuroi species complex (FFSC) encompasses a diverse array of more than 80 phylogenetic species with both phytopathological and clinical importance. A stable taxonomy is crucial for species in the FFSC due to their economical relevance. Fungal strains used in this study were obtained from Castaneamollissima and Rubuslambertianus, collected from Beijing and Shaanxi Province. We employ morphological and phylogenetic analyses based on partial gene fragments of the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1), beta-tubulin (tub2), calmodulin (CaM), RNA polymerase largest subunit (rpb1), and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (rpb2), as well as the pairwise homoplasy index tests. Studies have shown that these phylospecies are clustered in the Asian clade of the FFSC. The present study delineates two novel Fusarium species within the FFSC, named F.castaneophilum and F.rubicola, complemented by illustrations and descriptions.

Morphological and molecular analyses reveal two new species of Microcera (Nectriaceae, Hypocreales) associated with scale insects on walnut in China.

Project description:The fungal genus Microcera consists of species mostly occurring as parasites of scale insects, but are also commonly isolated from soil or lichens. In the present study, we surveyed the diversity and assess the taxonomy of entomopathogenic fungi in Sichuan Province, China. Two new species of Microcera, viz. M.chrysomphaludis and M.pseudaulacaspidis, were isolated from scale insects colonising walnut (Juglansregia). Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference analyses of ITS, LSU, tef1-α, rpb1, rpb2, acl1, act, tub2, cmdA and his3 sequence data provide evidence for the validity of the two species and their placement in Nectriaceae (Hypocreales). Microcerapseudaulacaspidis primarily differs from similar species by having more septate and smaller cylindrical macroconidia, as well as DNA sequence data. Meanwhile, Microcerachrysomphaludis has elliptical, one-septate ascospores with acute ends and cylindrical, slightly curved with 4-6 septate macroconidia up to 78 µm long. Morphological descriptions with illustrations of the novel species and DNA-based phylogeny generated from analyses of multigene dataset are also provided to better understand species relationships.

Two new species of Calonectria (Hypocreales, Nectriaceae) causing Eucalyptus leaf blight in Brazil.

Project description:In recent decades, commercial Eucalyptus plantations have expanded toward the warm and humid regions of northern and northeastern Brazil, where Calonectria leaf blight (CLB) has become the primary fungal leaf disease of this crop. CLB can be caused by different Calonectria species, and previous studies have indicated that Calonectria might have high species diversity in Brazil. During a disease survey conducted in three commercial plantations of Eucalyptus in northeastern Brazil, diseased leaves from Eucalyptus trees with typical symptoms of CLB were collected, and Calonectria fungi were isolated. Based on phylogenetic analyses of six gene regions (act, cmdA, his3, rpb2, tef1, and tub2) and morphological characteristics, two new species of Calonectria were identified. Five isolates were named as C.paragominensis sp. nov. and four were named as C.imperata sp. nov. The pathogenicity to Eucalyptus of both species was confirmed by fulfilling the Koch's postulates.

Two new species of Sordariomycetes (Chaetomiaceae and Nectriaceae) from China.

Project description:Rich and diverse fungal species occur in different habitats on the earth. Many new taxa are being reported and described in increasing numbers with the advent of molecular phylogenetics. However, there are still a number of unknown fungi that have not yet been discovered and described. During a survey of fungal diversity in different habitats in China, we identified and proposed two new species, based on the morphology and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses. Herein, we report the descriptions, illustrations and molecular phylogeny of the two new species, Bisifusariumkeratinophilumsp. nov. and Ovatosporasinensissp. nov.

Morphological and phylogenetic analyses reveal three new species of Fusarium (Hypocreales, Nectriaceae) associated with leaf blight on Cunninghamialanceolata in China.

Project description:Chinese fir (Cunninghamialanceolata) is a special fast-growing commercial tree species in China with high economic value. In recent years, leaf blight disease on C.lanceolata has been observed frequently. The diversity of Fusarium species associated with leaf blight on C.lanceolata in China (Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou, and Hunan provinces) was evaluated using morphological study and molecular multi-locus analyses based on RNA polymerase second largest subunit (RPB2), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF-1α), and RNA polymerase largest subunit (RPB1) genes/region as well as the pairwise homoplasy index tests. A total of five Fusarium species belonging to four Fusarium species complexes were recognized in this study. Two known species including Fusariumconcentricum and F.fujikuroi belonged to the F.fujikuroi species complex, and three new Fusarium species were described, i.e., F.fujianense belonged to the F.lateritium species complex, F.guizhouense belonged to the F.sambucinum species complex, and F.hunanense belonged to the F.solani species complex. To prove Koch's postulates, pathogenicity tests on C.lanceolata revealed a wide variation in pathogenicity and aggressiveness among the species, of which F.hunanense HN33-8-2 caused the most severe symptoms and F.fujianense LC14 led to the least severe symptoms. To our knowledge, this study also represented the first report of F.concentricum, F.fujianense, F.fujikuroi, F.guizhouense, and F.hunanense causing leaf blight on C.lanceolata in China.

The genera Rugonectria and Thelonectria (Hypocreales, Nectriaceae) in China.

Project description:Recent collections and herbarium specimens of Rugonectria and Thelonectria from different regions of China were examined. Using combined analyses of morphological and molecular data, 17 species are recognised including three species of Rugonectria and 14 species in Thelonectria. Amongst them, R.microconidia and T.guangdongensis are new to science. Rugonectriamicroconidia on mossy bark is characterised by superficial, yellow to orange, pyriform to subglobose perithecia with a warted surface; ellipsoidal to broadly ellipsoidal, striate, uniseptate ascospores; and allantoid to rod-shaped, aseptate microconidia. Thelonectriaguangdongensis possesses bright red perithecia with a slightly roughened surface and a prominently dark papilla; ellipsoidal, smooth, uniseptate ascospores; and subcylindrical, slightly curved, multiseptate macroconidia. Morphological distinctions and sequence divergences between the new species and their close relatives are discussed. Name changes for the previously recorded species in China are noted.

Three New Species of Fusicolla (Hypocreales) from China.

Project description:To explore the species diversity of the genus Fusicolla, specimens from Henan, Hubei and Jiangsu Provinces in China are examined, and three undescribed taxa are encountered. The morphological characteristics and DNA sequence analyses of the combined acl1, ITS, LSU, rpb2 and tub2 regions support their placement in Fusicolla and their recognition as new species. Fusicolla aeria sp. nov. is distinguished by the formation of abundant aerial mycelia on PDA, falcate, (1-)3-septate macroconidia 16-35 × 1.5-2.8 μm and subcylindrical, aseptate microconidia 7.5-13 × 0.8-1.1 μm. Fusicolla coralloidea sp. nov. has a coralloid colony on PDA, falcate, 2-5-septate macroconidia 38-70 × 2-4.5 μm and rod-shaped to ellipisoidal, aseptate microconidia 2-7 × 1-1.9 μm. Fusicolla filiformis sp. nov. is characterized by filiform, 2-6-septate macroconidia 28-58 × 1.5-2.3 μm and lacking microconidia. Morphological differences between these novel species and their close relatives are compared in detail. The previously recorded species of the genus in China are listed and a key to these taxa is provided.

A new species of Papiliomyces (Clavicipiteae, Hypocreales) from China.

Project description:BackgroundPapiliomyces (Hypocreales, Sordariomycetes) was introduced to accommodate two species: Papiliomycesliangshanensis and Papiliomycesshibinensis. Later, Papiliomycesliangshanensis was renamed Ophiocordycepsliangshanensis. However, the Papiliomycesliangshanensis molecular data (Nepalese) used to establish the Papiliomyces genus was different from Ophiocordycepsliangshanensis (China) strains.New informationThis paper describes a new species, Papiliomyceslongiclavatus, found in Yangchang District, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, China. It is proposed, based on morphology and multilocus phylogeny (ITS, SSU, LSU, TEF1, RPB1 and RPB2). The new species is phylogenetically most closely related to Papiliomycesliangshanensis (Nepalese collections). However, Papiliomycesliangshanensis (Nepalese collections) requires morphological details and additional detection. The new species differs from other Papiliomyces species in having robust stroma with completely immersed perithecia, multi-septate ascospores, cylindrical secondary ascospores, two types of phialides and two types of conidia:longer α-conidia and longer β-conidia.
