The ascomycete order Diaporthales is reviewed based on recent phylogenetic data that
outline the families and integrate related asexual fungi. The order now consists of nine …

Abstract The genus Phomopsis (teleomorph Diaporthe) comprises phytopathologically
important microfungi with diverse host associations and a worldwide distribution. Species …

The genus Diaporthe comprises pathogenic, endophytic and saprobic species with both
temperate and tropical distributions. Cryptic diversification, phenotypic plasticity and …

This study is unique as it compares traditional and high-resolution culture-independent
approaches using the same set of samples to study the saprotrophic fungi on Vitis vinifera …

Sexual reproduction in ascomycete fungi is governed by the mating-type (MAT) locus. The
MAT loci of Diaporthe and its Phomopsis anamorphs differ in only one gene: MAT1-1-1 in …

The ascomycete genus Diaporthe includes plant pathogens and endophytes on a wide
range of hosts including economically important crops. Anamorphs are coelomycetous and …

Grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) are caused by cryptic complexes of fungal pathogens and
have become a growing problem for new grapevine (Vitis vinifera) plantations. We studied …

Abstract In eastern North America, Phomopsis cane and leaf spot, caused by Phomopsis
viticola, is a foliar disease of grape but, in the Mediterranean climate of western North …

In recent years, a widespread canker disease that infects the branches of pear trees has
been observed in many provinces in China; it kills the branches and results in high losses in …

In the present study, nine endophytic strains of Diaporthe from China were identified based
on analyses of morphological characters and combined sequences of rDNA ITS, partial …
