Abstract
Coffee is one of the most important cash crops native to north-central Africa, and the second most popular beverage ingredient worldwide. Coffee-associated fungal pathogens have been well studied, but few studies have reported saprobes of coffee. In China, Yunnan Province is the main region of coffee plantations and production. To investigate saprobic fungi of coffee plants, dead branches of Coffea with fungal fruiting bodies were collected in Baoshan City, Yunnan Province, China. Multi-gene phylogenetic analyses of SSU, ITS, LSU, RPB2, and TEF1-α sequence data indicated that our collections formed an independent branch within Brunneofusispora and sister to B. sinensis. The new species B. baoshanensis, characterized by uniloculate ascomata with an erumpent long neck, and inequilateral, ends acute, 1-septate, constricted at the septum ascospores with mucilaginous sheath, was identified based on morphology and multi-gene phylogeny. This is the first report of Brunneofusispora species isolated from Coffea in China. A complete description, micrographs, and a phylogenetic tree showing the placement of the new species are provided.
期刊介绍:
Phytotaxa is a peer-reviewed, international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic and taxonomic botany, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs, floras, revisions and evolutionary studies and descriptions of new taxa. Phytotaxa covers all groups covered by the International Code of Nomenclature foralgae, fungi, and plants ICNafp (fungi, lichens, algae, diatoms, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and vascular plants), both living and fossil. Phytotaxa was founded in 2009 as botanical sister journal to Zootaxa. It has a large editorial board, who are running this journal on a voluntary basis, and it is published by Magnolia Press (Auckland , New Zealand). It is also indexed by SCIE, JCR and Biosis.
All types of taxonomic, floristic and phytogeographic papers are considered, including theoretical papers and methodology, systematics and phylogeny, monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues, biographies and bibliographies, history of botanical explorations, identification guides, floras, analyses of characters, phylogenetic studies and phytogeography, descriptions of taxa, typification and nomenclatural papers. Monographs and other long manuscripts (of 60 printed pages or more) can be published as books, which will receive an ISBN number as well as being part of the Phytotaxa series.
