Fungi of Quarantine Concern for China I:
Overview
Affiliations
The current list of Chinese quarantine pests includes 130 fungal species. However, recent changes in the taxonomy of fungi following the one fungus = one name initiative and the implementation of DNA phylogeny in taxonomic revisions, resulted in many changes of these species names, necessitating an update of the current list. In addition, many quarantine fungi lack modern morphological descriptions and authentic DNA sequences, posing significant challenges for the development of diagnostic protocols. The aim of the present study was to review the taxonomy and names of the 33 Chinese quarantine fungi in , and provide reliable DNA barcodes to facilitate rapid identification. Of these, 23 names were updated according to the single name nomenclature system, including one new combination, namely comb. nov. (syn. ) On the basis of phylogenetic analyses and morphological comparisons, a new genus is introduced to accommodate the monotypic species comb. nov. (syn. ), the causal agent of a post-harvest disease of pears. Furthermore, four lectotypes (, , , ), three epitypes (, , ), and two neotypes (, ) are designated to stabilise the use of these names. A further four reference strains are introduced for , , , and . In addition, to assist future studies on these important pathogens, we sequenced and assembled whole genomes for 17 species, including , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and . : Zhao P, Crous PW, Hou LW, et al. 2021.
