This study clarifies the fungal family Plectosphaerellaceae using multilocus sequence analysis and morphology. It resolves 22 genera, describing 12 new ones, 15 new species, and 10 new combinations for better fungal classification.

Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Fungal Taxonomy
  • Plant Pathology

Background:

  • The Plectosphaerellaceae family contains plant pathogenic and soil-borne fungi.
  • Current classification includes ten genera with unresolved positions for several taxa.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To resolve taxonomic uncertainties within the Plectosphaerellaceae family.
  • To provide a robust phylogenetic framework for the family.

Main Methods:

  • Multilocus sequence analysis using LSU, ITS, TEF1-α, TS, ACT, and RPB2 gene regions.
  • Morphological examination of fungal isolates.
  • Phylogenetic analysis of molecular data.

Main Results:

  • The study resolved 22 genera within Plectosphaerellaceae, with 12 newly described.
