... These are released from acervuli (Keith et al., 2006;Maharachchikumbura et al., 2011;Nag Raj, 1993), that are formed on symptomatic plant tissues during wet weather and are washed-off or splash-dispersed by water to infect susceptible host tissues. In addition to the typical appendage-bearing six-celled alpha-conidia, P. disseminata may also produce beta-conidia in culture, but their biological and epidemiological role is unknown (Crous et al., 2006). The sources of the primary inoculum may include infected plant parts (Keith et al., 2006;Pandey, 1990), debris from a previous crop, used growing media and soil (Hopkins and McQuilken, 2000). ...

More recently, P. disseminata has attracted the interest of many scientists due to its wide array of bioactive secondary metabolites (Deyrup et al., 2006;Hwang et al., 2015;Hwang et al., 2016) and, consequently, this species has been repeatedly isolated from wild species along with other endophytic fungi (Lateef et al., 2018;Liu et al., 2012;Tejesvi et al., 2009;Wei et al., 2007). ...
... 3.1.5 | Detection and identification of the pest Symptoms induced by P. disseminata on susceptible hosts include: fruit gummosis (Singh et al., 2000), fruit scab (Bhargava et al., 2003;Keith et al., 2006;El-Argawy, 2016), fruit rot (Al Ameen et al., 2017;Liu et al., 2019;Naeimi et al., 2015), pod canker (Singh & Tombisana Devi, 2001), seedling blight (Cleary et al., 2019;Yuan et al., 1997), shoot blight (Cleary et al., 2019;Silva et al., 2020;Watanabe et al., 2010) and grey leaf blight (Philip, 1995;Crous et al., 2006;Das et al., 2010;Paliwal and Paliwal, 2015;Ray et al., 2019;Wang et al., 2023). Such symptoms are also produced by other pests. ...
Following the commodity risk assessments of bonsai plants from China consisting of Pinus parviflora grafted on P. thunbergii performed by EFSA, the EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Pestalotiopsis disseminata, a clearly defined plant pathogenic fungus of the family Pestalotiopsidaceae. The pathogen has been reported on herbaceous, woody and ornamental plants causing symptoms such as leaf blight, shoot blight, seedling blight, pod canker, pre‐ and post‐harvest fruit rot, and gummosis. Moreover, the fungus was reported as an endophyte on a wide range of asymptomatic hosts. The pathogen is present in Africa, North and South America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. It has been reported from the EU, with a restricted distribution (Portugal). There is a key uncertainty on the geographical distribution of P. disseminata in the EU and worldwide, because of the endophytic nature of the fungus, the lack of surveys and since the pathogen might have been misidentified based only on morphology and pathogenicity tests. The pathogen is not included in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072. This pest categorisation focuses on those hosts that are relevant for the EU and for which there is robust evidence that the pathogen was formally identified by a combination of morphology, pathogenicity and multilocus sequence analysis. Plants for planting, fresh fruits, bark and wood of host plants as well as soil and other plant growing media are the main pathways for the entry of the pathogen into the EU. Host availability and climate suitability factors occurring in parts of the EU are favourable for the establishment of the pathogen. Despite the low aggressiveness observed in most reported hosts, and the fact that P. disseminata may colonise plants as an endophyte, its introduction and spread in the EU may have an economic and environmental impact (with a key uncertainty) where susceptible hosts are grown. Phytosanitary measures are available to prevent the introduction and spread of the pathogen. The Panel cannot conclude on whether P. disseminata satisfies all the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess for this species to be regarded as potential Union quarantine pest, because of the key uncertainties on the restricted distribution in the EU and the magnitude of the impact.
... Notes: Pestalotiopsis anhuiensis from Cyclobalanopsis glauca is phylogenetically close to Pestalotiopsis abietis, P. disseminata, and P. guangxiensis (Fig. 1). Morphologically, P. anhuiensis shares similar conidial sizes with P. abietis and P. disseminata (18.5 to 25 by 6 to 8 mm in P. anhuiensis versus 19.9 to 31.2 by 5.8 to 8 mm in P. abietis and 18 to 25 by 6.5 to 8 mm in P. disseminata) (21)(22)(23) and has narrower conidia than P. guangxiensis (6 to 8 mm versus 7.5 to 9.5 mm in P. guangxiensis) ( Table 1). However, P. anhuiensis can be distinguished by sequence data (nucleotide differences from P. abietis: in the ITS, 1/506 [0.2%]; in tef1, 4/470 [0.85%]; in tub2, 1/442 (0.23%); nucleotide differences from P. disseminata: in the ITS, 3 differs from P. jesteri by obviously larger conidia (23 to 29 by 7 to 11.5 mm in P. castanopsidis versus 19 to 23 by 5 to 7 mm in P. jesteri) (24). ...
... Notes: Two isolates of P. guangxiensis from Quercus griffithii formed a well-supported clade phylogenetically close to P. disseminata (Fig. 1). P. guangxiensis can be distinguished from P. disseminata by wider conidia (7.5 to 9.5 mm in P. guangxiensis versus 6.5 to 8 mm in P. disseminata) (21,23). Additionally, P. guangxiensis differs from P. disseminata by sequence data (nucleotide differences: in the ITS, 4/506 [0.8%], 1 insertion; in tef1, 7/471 [1.49%], 6 insertions; in tub2, 1 to 3/406 [0.25 to 0.74%]). ...
Fagaceae is a family of flowering plants widely distributed in the Northern
Hemisphere, including deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs. Species of Pestalotiopsis
are well-known agents of leaf spot diseases, but targeted sampling on Fagaceae is still
missing. To determine the diversity of Pestalotiopsis species associated with Fagaceae leaf
spot in China, investigations were conducted in the main areas of Fagaceae distribution
from 2016 to 2021. Diseased leaf tissues were collected, and fungal isolates were obtained
from leaf spots. In the present study, 43 isolates of Pestalotiopsis were studied based on
combined morphology and phylogeny. As a result, 10 new species were identified, viz.,
Pestalotiopsis anhuiensis, P. castanopsidis, P. changjiangensis, P. cyclobalanopsidis, P. foliicola,
P. guangxiensis, P. guizhouensis, P. lithocarpi, P. shaanxiensis, and P. silvicola, and six new
host records were recognized.
... Native to the Australian continent, the genus Eucalyptus comprises more than 800 species, and is widely used in reforestation (Nicolle 2018;Murray et al. 2019;Sankaran and Hussain 2019). Eucalyptus creates a rich habitat favouring a diverse fungal community, including new and undiscovered fungi (Crous et al. 2006). In recent years, several studies have described numerous new genera and species of phytopathogenic, saprobic and endophytic fungi collected on eucalypt plants outside the native Australian continent (Alfenas et al. 2015;Hernández-Restrepo et al. 2017;Crous et al. 2018Crous et al. , 2019. ...
Eucalyptus plantations are cultivated worldwide. In Brazil, this crop is widely used for reforestation and production of raw material. Due to that, the Eucalyptus fungal community is promising in terms of diversity. A survey of saprobic fungi was carried out on Floresta Estadual Edmundo Navarro de Andrade, Rio Claro, São Paulo, and a member of the family Reticulascaceae was identified. Kylindria eucalypti sp. nov., was found on dead bark of Eucalyptus grandis in Brazil, and it is described, illustrated, and compared with related species. Kylindria is a genus of mainly terrestrial, saprobic, asexually reproducing fungi. The fungus is characterised by its conidiophores with lobed or swollen basal cells, and percurrently extending conidiogenous cells that produce 3-septate conidia with an excentric lateral flat scar. Conidial illustrations of accepted Kylindria species are provided. A dichotomous key and a synoptic table to Kylindria species is presented, and comment is made on a further excluded species, K. conglutinata.
... Notes -The genus Satchmopsis, based on S. brasiliensis (Eucalyptus paniculata, Brazil; conidia 11.5 -15.5 × 1-1.5 μm) (Sutton 1975) was introduced for a genus of cupulate coelomycetes with aseptate conidia. Satchmopsis is commonly isolated from eucalypt leaf litter in South America (Crous et al. 2006). The present collection, from Metrosideros excelsa leaf litter collected in South Africa, differs from S. brasiliensis in being phylogenetically distinct, and also having longer conidia. ...
... Notes -The phylogeny and morphology of Torrendiella and Hymenotorrendiella was discussed in detail by Johnston et al. (2014). Although the name Torrendiella eucalypti has commonly been used for the species occurring on Eucalyptus leaf litter (Crous et al. 2006), Johnston et al. (2014) showed that the type of T. eucalypti occurred on fallen phyllodes of an Acacia sp. (Tasmania, Australia), which then became the type species of the new genus Hymenotorrendiella. ...
... Leptospora is typified by L. rubella and clustered in Phaeosphaeriaceae . Morphological characters of the holotype of Leptospora mentioned that the fungus stains host tissue red to purple and is red at the apical part of ostiolar canal (Rabenhorst 1857;Shoemaker 1976;Crous et al. 2006). Phylogenetic analyses of a combined LSU, SSU, ITS and tef1 dataset revealed one new species and a new host record of Leptospora from Clematis species (Figs. ...
... Notes: Longispora is established as a monotypic genus with L. clematidis as the type species. The genus is typical of Phaeosphaeriaceae in having compressed globose, coriaceous, brown to dark brown ascomata, with a reddish to orange pigments around the ostiolar pore, cellular pseudoparaphyses and fasciculate, scolecosporous, pale brown and multi-septate ascospores (Rabenhorst 1857;Crous et al. 2006;Phookamsak et al. 2014). Longispora has morphological characters similar to Leptospora and the sexual morph character of Chaetosphaeronema and Neosetophoma (N. ...

This paper is the first in the AJOM series in which we report 100 new collections of fungi which include new species, host and country records. In all, nine new species, 90 new records and one new combination are introduced. The purpose of this series is to provide an outlet for publishing collections with sequence data, so that these observations will not be wasted and mycologists can use the information to update fungal classification and better identification of species. Previously, numerous species were described from the first collection and no further data on the species were published as it was considered low impact. This series will, therefore, increase the knowledge on the host occurrence, biogeography and sequence variability in each taxon dealt with. The distribution and hosts for each listed species are added if backed up by sequence data.
... Notes -Among the genera of hyphomycetes presently known (Seifert et al. 2011), Cochlearomyces is unique in having erect, brown synnemata that form a shield, bearing phialides that give rise to aseptate, cylindrical conidia. Cochlearomyces clusters close to, but is morphologically quite distinct from, Claussenomyces and Satchmopsis, two genera with turbinate sporocarps (Crous et al. 2006, Medardi 2007). ...

... A partir del crecimiento fúngico desarrollado en las cámaras húmedas y las placas con medio de cultivo, se realizaron preparaciones fijas en lactofenol + azul algodón (Merck Millipore), las cuales fueron observadas bajo el microscopio óptico (Carl Zeiss, modelo Axioskop 40, a 40x y 100x). Los diferentes aislados se caracterizaron morfológicamente y se identificaron de acuerdo a los criterios taxonómicos descritos por Mordue (1971), Old et al. (2003), Gryzenhout et al. (2004), Crous et al. (2006;2014). ...
... En Cuba esta especie había sido informada previamente sobre E. saligna en la provincia de Granma (Camino-Vilaró et al., 2006;Farr y Rossman, 2017). Se caracteriza por la producción sobre la superficie foliar colonizada, de cirros negros (alfa-conidios típicos de Pestalotiopsis) y cirros de color crema (beta-conidios) (Crous et al., 2006), que fueron observados durante el presente estudio (Fig. 4). Este patógeno se transmite a través de la semilla y puede llegar a causar afectaciones severas en los semilleros, donde puede provocar la muerte de hasta el 10 % de las plantas (Keane, 2000). ...
In Cuba, eucalyptus are considered as one of the most important forest species. Because of it rapid and high biomass production, it is suitable for a wide range of uses. During last years, areas dedicated to their cultivation are increasing within the country. Despite this there are few records of the incidence of phytopathogenic fungi on Cuban plantations of eucaliptus. The aim of this work was to identify fungal species associated to pathologies present in these plantations. Plantations of E. saligna in Pinar del Río, E. grandis in Santiago de Cuba and Eucalyp-tus sp.in Ciego de Ávila were sampled. Samples of stems, branches and leafs with different symptomatologies were collected, disinfected with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCL, 1-3 %), and placed in humid chambers. For fungal isolation, sections of disinfected symptomatic tissues were placed in Water Agar (2 %) and Potato Dextrose Agar plates supplemented with streptomycin sulphate (100 µg/mL). From the different pathologies ten fungal species were identified. On stems with canker symptoms Acremonium sp., Crysoporthe cubensis, Graphium sp. and Lasiodiplodia theobromae were detected; on branch with canker or blight Cryptosporiopsis eucalypti, L. theobromae and Pestalotiopsis guepinii were identified. While Coniella fragariae, Cryptosporiopsis eucalypti, Kirramyces epicoccoides, Pestalotiopsis disseminata and Phomopsis eucalypti were associated with foliar spots.
