Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: Species of Sporocadaceae have often been reported as plant pathogens, endophytes or saprophytes and are commonly isolated from a wide range of plant hosts. The isolated fungi were studied through a complete examination, based on multilocus phylogenies from combined datasets of ITS/ tub2 / tef1 , in conjunction with morphological characteristics. Nine strains were isolated from Ficus microcarpa , Ilex chinensis and Schima superba in China which represented four species, viz. , Monochaetia schimae sp. nov. , Neopestalotiopsis haikouensis sp. nov. , Neopestalotiopsis piceana and Pestalotiopsis licualicola . Neopestalotiopsis piceana was a new country record for China and first host record from Ficus macrocarpa. Pestalotiopsis licualicola was first report from Ilex chinensis in China.
