Two new Botryosphaeria (Botryosphaeriales, Botryosphaeriaceae) species in China

Five ascomycetous strains were isolated from dead branches and leaves of Salix (Salicaceae) and Osmanthusfragrans (Oleaceae), respectively. BLAST searches with ITS sequences in GenBank suggested a high degree of similarity to Botryosphaeriadothidea. To accurately identify these strains, we further a...

Sumario:Five ascomycetous strains were isolated from dead branches and leaves of Salix (Salicaceae) and Osmanthusfragrans (Oleaceae), respectively. BLAST searches with ITS sequences in GenBank suggested a high degree of similarity to Botryosphaeriadothidea. To accurately identify these strains, we further analysed their morphological characteristics of asci, ascospores, all conidiophore cells and conidia. Phylogenetic relationships, based on ITS, rpb2, tef1 and tub2 gene sequences, confirmed our strains represented two novel species, which are introduced here as B.salicicola and B.osmanthusespp. nov.
