The current status of species in Diaporthe

Authors:

Abstract

In this paper we give an account of species in the genus Diaporthe. Since morphological characters are inadequate to define species in this genus, DNA sequence data are essential to differentiate them. We therefore focus this paper on the 171 species for which ex-type/ex-epitype/ex-isotype/ex-neotype isolates and corresponding molecular data are available and these species are listed alphabetically. Sexual or asexual morph are noted under each species, detailed descriptions of type materials, host records and geographic distribution are provided. Available DNA sequence data from ex-type cultures are listed in Table 1. Phylogenetic relationships of the species are given in a multi-locus phylogenetic tree based on combined ITS, tef1-α, β-tubulin and CAL sequences.

Abstract
In this paper we give an account of species in the genus Diaporthe. Since morphological
characters are inadequate to define species in this genus, DNA sequence data are essential to
differentiate them. We therefore focus this paper on the 171 species for which ex-type/ex-
epitype/ex-isotype/ex-neotype isolates and corresponding molecular data are available and these
species are listed alphabetically. Sexual or asexual morph are noted under each species, detailed
descriptions of type materials, host records and geographic distribution are provided. Available
DNA sequence data from ex-type cultures are listed in Table 1. Phylogenetic relationships of the
species are given in a multi-locus phylogenetic tree based on combined ITS, tef1-α, β-tubulin and
CAL sequences.

Introduction
Diaporthe (syn. Phomopsis) species are well-known as pathogens, endophytes or saprobes
on a range of economicaly important crops, ornamentals and forest trees (Santos & Phillips 2009,
Santos et al. 2011, Udayanga et al. 2011, 2012a,b, 2014a,b, 2015, Gomes et al. 2013, Hyde et al.
2014, Dissanayake et al. 2015, 2017a, b, Fan et al. 2015). Their frequent association with plant
diseases has stimulated considerable interest in this genus.
The genus Diaporthe was introduced by Nitschke (1870) with D. eres as the type species. It
is placed in the family Diaporthaceae, order Diaporthales, in the class Sordariomycetes
(Maharachchikumbura et al. 2015, 2016). For many years species in Diaporthe were introduced
largely on the basis of host association, which resulted in a proliferation of species names.
However, it is now recognised that species are not host-specific and a single species can be found
on more than one host (Rehner & Uecker 1994). Furthermore, several different species can be
found on a single host (Mostert et al. 2001b). Since morphology is of limited value in defining
species (Sutton 1980, Rehner & Uecker 1994, Chi et al. 2007, Hyde et al. 2011) taxonomy of the
genus relies largely on molecular phylogenies, especially those derived from sequences of ITS,
tef1-α, β-tubulin and CAL loci (Udayanga et al. 2012a, Gomes et al. 2013). Thus all of the older
species names linked to Diaporthe or Phomopsis, and for which cultures or DNA sequence data are
not available, cannot be linked to the species in this genus. Such older taxa will have to be
disregarded unless they are epitypified.

Udayanga et al. (2012a) re-evaluated the phylogenetic species recognition in Diaporthe
using a multi-locus phylogeny based on a combined data matrix of ITS, and partial sequences from
the translation elongation factor 1-α, β tubulin and calmodulin molecular markers. They included
DNA sequences of available 26 ex-type cultures, providing a multi-locus backbone tree. Gomes et
al. (2013) provided detailed descriptions of 54 species of Diaporthe that were linked to the types,
while Hyde et al. (2014) provided a backbone phylogenetic tree of 72 species, also derived from the
types. In this paper we focus on the 171 species that are currently known from culture or from
direct sequencing, and are linked to their holotype, epitype, isotype or neotype and that can now be
recognised with molecular data. Hence, this work serves as the first comprehensive overview of all
species in Diaporthe since 2012.

Materials and methods
The species included in Udayanga et al. (2012a) were used as the starting point. Species not
included in that paper, or introduced since 2013 were found in searches of MycoBank and the
mycological literature in general. All names were checked for validity, and for the existence of type
cultures and relevant sequences in GenBank before they were included in the current list. New
disease reports, distribution and host associations were retrieved from recent publications and from
USDA fungal database (Farr & Rossman 2016), of which are proved with molecular data.
Phylogenetic analysis
Sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS), translation elongation factor (tef1-α), β-
tubulin, CAL moduline were download from NCBI GenBank
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/). An overview backbone phylogenetic tree for the genus
Diaporthe was constructed from ITS, tef1-α, β-tubulin and CAL sequence data.
Individual loci were aligned with Clustal X v. 1.81 and combined with BioEdit v. 7.0.9.0
(Hall 1999). Further alignment of the sequences was done using default settings of MAFFT v. 7
(Katoh & Toh 2008; http://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/server/) and manually adjusted where necessary
using BioEdit. Maximum parsimony analysis (MP) was performed with PAUP v. 4.0b10 (Swofford
2003). Gaps were treated as missing data. Trees were inferred using the heuristic search option with
Tree Bisection and Reconnection branch swapping and 1000 random sequence additions. Maxtrees
was set at 1000, branches of zero length were collapsed and all multiple parsimonious trees were
saved. Descriptive tree statistics for parsimony (tree length, consistency index, retention index,
rescaled consistency index, and homoplasy index) were calculated for trees generated under
different optimality criteria.
The best model of evolution for each gene region was determined using MrModeltest v. 2.2
(Nylander 2004) and maximum likelihood analyses were performed in RAXML GUI v. 0.9b2
(Silvestro & Michalak 2010). The RAXML analyses were run with a rapid bootstrap analysis.

Fig. 1 Phylogram generated from maximum parsimony analysis based on combined ITS, tef1-α, β-tubulin
and CAL dataset of the genus Diaporthe. Bootstrap support values for maximum parsimony (MP) greater
than 90 % are indicated near the nodes and Bayesian posterior probabilities above 0.90 are indicated in bold
branches. The ex-type strains are in bold and the tree is rooted with Diaporthella corylina (CBS 121124).
Posterior probabilities (PP) were determined by Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling
(BMCMC) in MrBayes v. 3.0b4 (Ronquist & Huelsenbeck 2003). The best-fit model of nucleotide
substitution as determined above was incorporated into the analysis. Six simultaneous Markov
chains were run for 1 000 000 generations and trees were sampled every 100th generation. The
2000 trees representing the burn-in phase of the analyses, were discarded and the remaining 8000
trees used for calculation of posterior probabilities (PP) in the majority rule consensus tree. The
strains used in this study are listed in Table 1 with details of type cultures and sequences.
Alignment and tree was deposited in TreeBASE (S21338).
Results and Discussion
A complete list of all species in Diaporthe that are known from culture is provided in Table
1. Where possible the ex-type isolate together with one further isolate are included. Presently 171
species are included in the genus (Fig. 1). Phomopsis fukushii is synonymized under Diaporthe
fukushii.

The genus Diaporthe Fuckel consists of a large number of species recorded as pathogens, saprobes, and endophytes. While more than 1200 species of Diaporthe have been recorded to date, only pathogenic strains of Diaporthe were reported from Japan, notably affecting economically important plants. This study successfully elucidated the diversity of endophytic Diaporthe spp. from Prunus sensu lato (s.l.), commonly known as the Sakura tree, along with the addition of two novel species of Diaporthe to the Japanese mycobiota. In this study, a polyphasic approach was employed, using multi-locus analysis of 5 loci, including internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, partial sequence of translation elongation factor 1–alpha (TEF), beta-tubulin (TUB), histone H3 (HIS) and calmodulin (CAL) genes. Additionally, morphological observation was also conducted by inducing sporulation of the isolates in artificial media. As a result, two novel species were introduced: Diaporthe endoprunicola A.H. Ujat & Y. Hattori and Diaporthe pseudoamygdali A.H. Ujat & Y. Hattori, along with confirmation of previously documented Diaporthe species in Prunus s.l.

Pigments of fungal origin have aroused increasing interest in the food dye and cosmetic industries since the global demand for natural dyes has grown. Endophytic microorganisms are a source of bioactive compounds, and Amazonian plant species can harbor fungi with a wide range of biotechnological applications. Popularly known in Brazil as crajiru, Fridericia chica is a medicinal plant that produces a red pigment. In this study, a total of 121 fungi were isolated in potato dextrose agar from three plants. We identified nine pigment-producing endophytic fungi isolated from branches and leaves of F. chica. The isolates that showed pigment production in solid media were molecularly identified via multilocus analysis as Aspergillus welwitschiae, A. sydowii, Curvularia sp., Diaporthe cerradensis (two strains), Hypoxylon investiens, Neoscytalidium sp. (two strains) and Penicillium rubens. These isolates were subjected to submerged fermentation in two culture media to obtain metabolic extracts. The extracts obtained were analyzed in terms of their absorbance between 400 and 700 nm. The pigmented extract produced by H. investiens in medium containing yeast extract showed maximum absorbance in the red absorption range (UA700 = 0.550) and significant antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. This isolate can thus be considered a new source of extracellular pigment.
... Note: Diaporthe hongkongensis was initially reported from Dichroa febrifuga from Hong Kong as Phomopsis pittospori [31]. Later, this species was identified from Camelia sinensis, Citrus sp. and Vitis vinifera [32]. This species was reported as causing stem-end rot on kiwifruit [33], shoot blight and leaf spot on kiwifruit [34] and fruit rot disease on peach [35]. ...
... Diaporthe hongkongensis and D. eres have also been reported to cause diseases in woody plants, especially causing branch dieback and canker. Diaporthe hongkongensis identified on Actinidia deliciosa (Kiwifruit) [33], Castanopsis eyrei [45], Citrus sinensis [46], Cyclobalanopsis glauca [45], Dichroa febrifuga [31], Herba Patriniae [45], Llex Latifolia [45], Loropetalum chinensis [45], Miscanthus sinensis [45], Smilax china [45], Ternstroemia gymnanthera [45], Vitis vinifera [32] and D. eres reported a wide variety of host plants [21,22,29]. ...

This study aimed to identify fungal species associated with trunk diseases of sweet cherries (Prunus avium) in several commercial cherry orchards in Beijing, Guizhou and Shandong provinces, China. In total, eighteen fungal strains that fitted well into the species concept of Diaporthe were isolated. Based on both morphological and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses of internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), beta-tubulin (tub-2), calmodulin (Cal) and translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1-α) sequencing data, fourteen isolates were identified as Diaporthe eres, while four isolates were classified as D. hongkongensis. Here, we report D. hongkongensis causing sweet cherry branch dieback disease and, further, we confirmed the host association of D. eres with sweet cherries in China. A pathogenicity assay revealed the ability of both D. eres and D. hongkongensis to cause shoot necrosis and stem lesions on Prunus avium cv. 'Brooks' (mean lesion lengths of 1.86 cm and 1.56 cm, respectively). The optimal temperature for the growth of both Diaporthe species was tested. The optimal growth temperature for D. hongkongensis was 30 • C, and the 25-28 • C temperatures were the most favorable for the growth of D. eres strains. This research advances the understanding of fungal trunk diseases in fruit crops, particularly gummosis and branch dieback disease in Chinese cherry orchards, and will aid growers in making decisions about cultural practices and disease management.
... The complex of Diaporthe and its Phomopsis anamorph (Diaporthe/Phomopsis) reported in this study were in line with previous research. 39,40 The three frequent genera in our collection of isolates-Diaporthe, Phomopsis, and Colletotrichum-have also been identified as dominant genera in the endophytic fungal communities of other plants, such as Nothapodytes foetida, Icacinaceae, and Camptotheca acuminata. 11,31,41 However, Trichoderma, which was commonly found in other plants, was not detected in this study. ...

Camptothecin (CPT) is an important alkaloid used for anticancer treatment. It is mainly produced by two endangered and overharvested Camptotheca acuminata and Nothapodytes nimmoniana plants. Endophytic fungi are promising alternative sources for CPT production. In the present study, fungi residing within explants of Ixora chinensis were isolated and their CPT-producing capability of their endophytes was verified via thin-layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, liquid chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses and compared with standards. In addition, MTT and sulforhodamine B assays were selected to test the anticancer effect. The endophytic fungi collection of 62 isolates were assigned to 11 genera, with four common genera (Diaporthe, Phyllosticta, Colletotrichum, and Phomopsis) and seven less common genera (Penicillium, Botryosphaeria, Fusarium, Pestalotiopsis, Aspergillus, and Didymella). Moreover, the anticancer activity of extracts was assessed against human lung carcinoma (A549). Among eight potential extracts, only Penicillium sp. I3R2 was found to be a source of CPT, while the remaining seven extracts have not been discovered potential secondary compounds. Thus, other prominent endophytic fungi might be potential candidates of phytochemicals with anticancer properties.

... Other abundantly isolated endophytes include species of Diaporthe, a cosmopolitan genus usually found as saprobes, phytopathogens, and endophytically in plants of different environments (Hilarino et al. 2011;Suwannarach et al. 2012;Dissanayake et al. 2017;Pádua et al. 2018). Although Diaporthe proved to be one of the most specious genera of the study, D. ueckerae showed the lowest abundance, with only one isolate. ...
... Phomopsis) was established by Nitschke (1870) with D. eres as the type species. Species in this genus have a cosmopolitan distribution and broad host range, occurring as endophytes, saprobes and plant pathogens (Santos & Phillips 2009, Santos et al. 2011, Udayanga et al. 2011, Gomes et al. 2013, Dissanayake et al. 2017, Yang et al. 2018. The identification of Diaporthe has traditionally relied mainly on host associations and morphological characteristics such as shape and size of ascomata, asci, ascospores, conidiomata, conidia and conidiophores (Wehmeyer 1933, Uecker 1988, Rehner & Uecker 1994, Mostert et al. 2001a, Udayanga et al. 2011. ...

Species in Diaporthe have broad host ranges and cosmopolitan geographic distributions, occurring as endophytes, saprobes and plant pathogens. Previous studies have indicated that many Diaporthe species are associated with Citrus . To further determine the diversity of Diaporthe species associated with citrus diseases in China, we conducted extensive surveys in major citrus-producing areas from 2017–2020. Diseased tissues were collected from leaves, fruits, twigs, branches and trunks showing a range of symptoms including melanose, dieback, gummosis, wood decay and canker. Based on phylogenetic comparisons of DNA sequences of the internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS), calmodulin ( cal ), histone H3 ( his3 ), translation elongation factor 1-alpha ( tef1 ) and beta-tubulin ( tub2 ), 393 isolates from 10 provinces were identified as belonging to 36 species of Diaporthe , including 32 known species, namely D. apiculata , D. biconispora , D. biguttulata , D. caryae , D. citri , D. citriasiana , D. compacta , D. discoidispora , D. endophytica , D. eres , D. fusicola , D. fulvicolor , D. guangxiensis , D. hongkongensis , D. hubeiensis , D. limonicola , D. litchii , D. novem , D. passifloricola , D. penetriteum , D. pescicola , D. pometiae , D. sackstonii , D. sennicola , D. sojae , D. spinosa , D. subclavata , D. tectonae , D. tibetensis , D. unshiuensis , D. velutina and D. xishuangbanica , and four new species, namely D. gammata , D. jishouensis , D. ruiliensis and D. sexualispora . Among the 32 known species, 14 are reported for the first time on Citrus, and two are newly reported from China. Among the 36 species, D. citri was the dominant species as exemplified by its high frequency of isolation and virulence. Pathogenicity tests indicated that most Diaporthe species obtained in this study were weakly aggressive or non-pathogenic to the tested citrus varieties. Only D. citri produced the longest lesion lengths on citrus shoots and induced melanose on citrus leaves. These results further demonstrated that a rich diversity of Diaporthe species occupy Citrus , but only a few species are harmful and D. citri is the main pathogen for Citrus in China. The present study provides a basis from which targeted monitoring, prevention and control measures can be developed.

Plant diseases and pests reduce crop yields, accounting for global crop losses of 30% to 50%. In conventional agricultural production systems, these losses are typically controlled by applying chemical pesticides. However, public pressure is mounting to curtail agrochemical use. In this context, employing beneficial endophytic microorganisms is an increasingly attractive alternative to the use of conventional chemical pesticides in agriculture. A multitude of fungal endophytes are naturally present in plants, producing enzymes, small peptides, and secondary metabolites due to their bioactivity, which can protect hosts from pathogens, pests, and abiotic stresses. The use of beneficial endophytic microorganisms in agriculture is an increasingly attractive alternative to conventional pesticides. The aim of this study was to characterize fungal endophytes isolated from apparently healthy, feral wine grapes in eastern Canada that have grown without agrochemical inputs for decades. Host plants ranged from unknown seedlings to long-lost cultivars not widely propagated since the 1800s. HPLC-MS was used to identify unique endophyte-derived chemical compounds in the host plants, while dual-culture competition assays showed a range in endophytes’ ability to suppress the mycelial growth of Botrytis, which is typically controlled in viticulture with pesticides. Twelve of the most promising fungal endophytes isolated were identified using multilocus sequencing and morphology, while DNA barcoding was employed to identify some of their host vines. These fungal endophyte isolates, which consisted of both known and putative novel strains, belonged to seven genera in six families and five orders of Ascomycota. Exploring the fungal endophytes in these specimens may yield clues to the vines’ survival and lead to the discovery of novel biocontrol agents.

Due to cryptic diversification, phenotypic plasticity and host associations, multilocus phy-logenetic analyses have become the most important tool in accurately identifying and circumscribing species in the Diaporthe genus. However, the application of the genealogical concordance criterion has often been overlooked, ultimately leading to an exponential increase in novel Diaporthe spp. Due to the large number of species, many lineages remain poorly understood under the so-called species complexes. For this reason, a robust delimitation of the species boundaries in Diaporthe is still an ongoing challenge. Therefore, the present study aimed to resolve the species boundaries of the Diaporthe arecae species complex (DASC) by implementing an integrative taxonomic approach. The Genealogical Phylogenetic Species Recognition (GCPSR) principle revealed incongruences between the individual gene genealogies. Moreover, the Poisson Tree Processes' (PTPs) coalescent-based species delimitation models identified three well-delimited subclades represented by the species D. arecae, D. chiangmaiensis and D. smilacicola. These results evidence that all species previously described in the D. arecae subclade are conspecific, which is coherent with the morphological indis-tinctiveness observed and the absence of reproductive isolation and barriers to gene flow. Thus, 52 Diaporthe spp. are reduced to synonymy under D. arecae. Recent population expansion and the possibility of incomplete lineage sorting suggested that the D. arecae subclade may be considered as ongoing evolving lineages under active divergence and speciation. Hence, the genetic diversity and intraspecific variability of D. arecae in the context of current global climate change and the role of D. arecae as a pathogen on palm trees and other hosts are also discussed. This study illustrates that species in Diaporthe are highly overestimated, and highlights the relevance of applying an integrative taxonomic approach to accurately circumscribe the species boundaries in the genus Diaporthe.

The genus Diaporthe (Diaporthaceae, Diaporthales) is a large group of fungi frequently reported as phytopathogens, with ubiquitous distribution across the globe. Diaporthe have traditionally been characterized by the morphology of their ana-and teleomorphic state, revealing a high degree of heterogeneity as soon as DNA sequencing was utilized across the different members of the group. Their relevance for biotechnology and agriculture attracts the attention of taxonomists and natural product chemists alike in context of plant protection and exploitation for their potential to produce bioactive secondary metabolites. While more than 1000 species are described to date, Africa, as a natural habitat, has so far been under-sampled. Several endophytic fungi belonging to Diaporthe were isolated from different plant hosts in Cameroon over the course of this study. Phylogenetic analyses based on DNA sequence data of the internal transcribed spacer region and intervening 5.8S nrRNA gene, and partial fragments of the calmod-ulin, beta-tubulin, histone and the translation elongation factor 1-α genes, demonstrated that these isolates represent four new species, i.e. D. brideliae, D. cameroonensis, D. pseudoanacardii and D. rauvolfiae. Moreover, the description of D. isoberliniae is here emended, now incorporating the morphology of beta and gamma conidia produced by two of our endophytic isolates, which had never been documented in previous records. Moreover, the paraphyletic nature of the genus is discussed and suggestions are made for future revision of the genus.

This is a continuation of the papers “Towards a classification of Sordariomycetes” (2015) and “Families of Sordariomycetes” (2016) in which we compile a treatment of the class Sordariomycetes. The present treatment is needed as our knowledge has rapidly increased, from 32 orders, 105 families and 1331 genera in 2016, to 45 orders, 167 families and 1499 genera (with 308 genera incertae sedis) at the time of publication. In this treatment we provide notes on each order, families and short notes on each genus. We provide up-to-date DNA based phylogenies for 45 orders and 163 families. Three new genera and 16 new species are introduced with illustrations and descriptions, while 23 new records and three new species combinations are provided. We also list 308 taxa in Sordariomycetes genera incertae sedis. For each family we provide general descriptions and illustrate the type genus or another genus, the latter where the placement has generally been confirmed with molecular data. Both the sexual and asexual morphs representative of a family are illustrated where available. Notes on ecological and economic considerations are also given.

Peach tree diseases have a variety of symptoms and causes. Only Botryosphaeriaceae taxa have been reported in association with peach trees in Chinese peach orchards. This study aims to identify and characterize Diaporthe species associated with peach trees in Jinshui Experimental Orchard in Hubei Academy of Agriculture Sciences, Hubei Province, China. The fungi were isolated from diseased peach trunks and shoots showing exudates. Fungal identification was accomplished using a combination of morphological and pathogenic characteristics together with phylogenetic analyses based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS), partial translation elongation factor 1-α (EF1-α), β-tubulin (BT) and calmodulin (CAL) sequences. A total of 48 Diaporthe isolates were obtained from 62 diseased samples and most isolates were identified as Diaporthe eres (69 %), followed by D. momicola sp. nov (12.5 %), D. pescicola sp. nov. (10 %) and D. taoicola sp. nov. (8.5 %). All identified species were able to cause necrotic lesions at different levels of severity when inoculated into detached peach shoots

The family Rosaceae includes a large number of species ranging from herbaceous (Fragaria) to ornamental plants (Rosa and Pyracantha) and fruit trees (Malus and Pyrus). Diaporthe species have been associated with twig canker, shoot blight, dieback, wood decay and fruit rot on members of the Rosaceae. In this study a collection of isolates from several Rosaceae hosts were characterised by multi-locus sequence analyses using the internal transcribed spacer, translation elongation factor 1-alpha, beta-tubulin, histone H3 and calmodulin loci. The phylogenetic analyses of the combined five loci revealed that the isolates studied were distributed among four clades, of which two correspond to D. foeniculina and D. eres. The other two clades, closely related to D. passiflorae and D. leucospermi represent two new species, D. pyracanthae sp. nov. and D. malorum sp. nov., respectively. Further, pathogenicity assays have shown that of the four species tested, D. malorum was the most aggressive species on apple fruit and D. eres was the most aggressive species on detached pear twigs. A revision of all Diaporthe (and Phomopsis) names that have been associated with Rosaceae hosts as well as their current status as pathogens of members of this family is presented.

Diaporthe species are common pathogens, endophytes, or saprobes on a wide range of hosts. During our investigation of forest pathogens, we made collections of Diaporthe species associated with canker and dieback disease of Betula platyphylla and B. albosinensis in Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces in China. Diaporthe betulae sp. nov. and D. betulicola sp. nov. are introduced in this paper, with illustrations, descriptions and support from analysis of ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS), calmodulin (CAL), histone H3 (HIS), translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF1-α) and beta-tubulin (TUB2) sequence data. Diaporthe betulae is characterized by hyaline, ellipsoidal, aseptate, biguttulate, 8.5-11 × 3-4 μm alpha conidia. Diaporthe betulicola is characterized by pycnidial stromata with a single locule with one ostiole per disc. Alpha conidia are hyaline, oblong, aseptate, lack guttules and 9.9-14.7 × 1.3-2.5 μm, and beta conidia are hyaline, spindle-shaped, curved, aseptate and 17-24 × 0.7-1.2 μm.

The genus . Diaporthe comprises close to 800 species, with around 2000 names attributed to it and its asexual morphs previously recognized in . Phomopsis. Diaporthe species are common plant associates, including saprotrophs, pathogens, and endophytes affiliated with a diverse range of hosts worldwide. In this study, an unknown . Diaporthe sp. was frequently isolated as an endophyte from healthy . Picea mariana and . Picea . rubens needles in the Acadian forest of Eastern Canada. Morphological observations and the application of the genealogical concordance phylogenetic species recognition concept using four unlinked loci (internal transcribed spacer (ITS), DNA-lyase (Apn2), translation elongation factor 1-α (EF1-α), and beta-tubulin (TUB)) support the distinctiveness of this species, described here as . Diaporthe maritima. Crude liquid culture extracts from this new species showed potent antifungal activity towards the biotrophic pathogen . Microbotryum violaceum in a screening assay necessitating an investigation of its natural products. Three dihydropyrones, phomopsolides A (1), B (2), and C (3), and a stable alpha-pyrone (4), were characterized by mass spectrometry and spectroscopic techniques. All isolated metabolites individually demonstrated . in vitro antifungal and antibiotic activity towards . Bacillus subtilis. The Acadian forest has proven to be a rich source of biodiversity that has the potential to deliver environmentally sustainable pest management tools.

Forty isolates of Phomopsis were obtained from twigs and berries of highbush blueberry, Vaccinium corymbosum, and cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon, isolated primarily from plants grown in the eastern United States. They were characterized using conidiomatal morphology, conidial dimensions, colony appearance and growth rate, and sequences of ITS rDNA. Based on morphological and molecular similarities, most isolates grouped together with an authentic culture of Phomopsis vaccinii Shear. This taxon is described and illustrated. However, some Phomopsis isolates from Vaccinium differed in colony and conidiomatal morphology from P. vaccinii and, based on ITS sequences, were related to isolates of Phomopsis from diverse hosts. These isolates were excluded from P. vaccinii.

One Diaporthe strain was isolated from diseased leaves of Camellia sinensis in Guizhou Province. It is characterized by the production of two types conidia (α, β-conidia). Morphologically the species is very similar to Phomopsis laurella (syn. Diaporthe nobilis) in producing cylindrical or ellipsoidal α-conidia with two oil drops. Phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS, β-tubulin and tef1 sequence data shows that these strains are placed in D. eres species complex. Critical examination of the phenotypic characters indicated that this strain represents Diaporthe nobilis, a new record in Camellia sinensis.
