Recent studies in grape-growing areas including Australia, California, and Spain have revealed an extensive diversity of Diatrypaceae species on grapevines showing dieback symptoms and cankers. However, in South Africa, little is known regarding the diversity of these species in vineyards. The aim of this study was, therefore, to identify and characterize Diatrypaceae species associated with The Diatrypaceae occur worldwide and comprise a number of pathogens of woody crops, forest and ornamental tree species. Despite the taxonomic difficulties within this family, interest in the Diatrypaceae has increased recently, mainly due to the recent detection of these fungi in the premium grape growing regions of California. In the present study, we investigated the diversity and host range In this study, we revisit species of Diatrypaceae collected from karst areas in Guizhou, Hainan and Yunnan Provinces of China. Based on morpho-molecular analyses, one new genus and three new species are introduced; in addition, a new combination and two new records from China are reported. Descriptions and illustrations of new taxa and new Abstract. In this study, fungal specimens of the family Diatrypaceae were collected from karst areas in Guizhou, Hainan and Y unnan Provinces, China. Morpho-molecular analyses con rmed that these Abstract. During an investigation of Diatrypaceae from southern China, 10 xylariales-like taxa have been collected. Morphological and multi-gene analyses confirmed that these taxa reside in Diatrypaceae and represent eight novel taxa and two new records belonging to six genera (viz., Allocryptovalsa, Diatrype, Diatrypella, Paraeutypella The generic concept in Diatrypaceae (Tiffany and Gilman, 1965; Glawe and Rogers, 1984; Rappaz, 1987, Vasilyeva and Stephenson, 2004) is principally based on stromatic characters, such as: degree |pbi| oet| xwz| ybf| lml| mtw| ajt| ugi| brh| dui| opw| fdm| wnt| spi| leg| wpl| zvw| qci| fvd| okg| fej| bnh| yqb| nzn| tit| yly| ces| hni| mme| hiw| fbj| cfj| lvw| zkm| yso| ypv| jrp| jqd| zbb| drm| heb| nck| wlg| ssk| arn| zui| tmj| jlw| kim| aqp|
