One stop shop III: taxonomic update with molecular phylogeny for important phytopathogenic genera: 51–75 (2019)

Abstract

© 2019, School of Science. This is a continuation of a series focused on providing a stable platform for the taxonomy of phytopathogenic fungi and organisms. This paper focuses on 25 phytopathogenic genera: Alternaria, Capnodium, Chaetothyrina, Cytospora, Cyphellophora, Cyttaria, Dactylonectria, Diplodia, Dothiorella, Entoleuca, Eutiarosporella, Fusarium, Ilyonectria, Lasiodiplodia, Macrophomina, Medeolaria, Neonectria, Neopestalotiopsis, Pestalotiopsis, Plasmopara, Pseudopestalotiopsis, Rosellinia, Sphaeropsis, Stagonosporopsis and Verticillium. Each genus is provided with a taxonomic background, distribution, hosts, disease symptoms, and updated backbone trees. A new database (Onestopshopfungi) is established to enhance the current understanding of plant pathogenic genera among plant pathologists.
