Morphological and phylogenetic resolution of Arthrinium from medicinal plants in Yunnan, including A. cordylines and A. pseudomarii spp. nov.
Keyword(s):
Twenty-one strains of Arthrinium were cultured from leaf samples of ten medicinal plant hosts in Yunnan Province, China. Morphological and multi-locus ITS+TUB+TEF1 sequence analyses revealed that the strains represented two previously described species (A. paraphaeospermum and A. rasikravindrae) and two new species: Arthrinium cordylines, which produces subglobose conidia that are shorter and wider than A. aureum but larger than A. hydei, and Arthrinium pseudomarii, which produces subglobose to ellipsoid conidia narrower than A. hispanicum, A. marii, and A. mediterranei.
