Abstract
Two Castanea plant species, C. henryi and C. mollissima, are cultivated in China to produce chestnut crops. Leaf spot diseases commonly occur in Castanea plantations, however, little is known about the fungal species associated with chestnut leaf spots. In this study, leaf samples of C. henryi and C. mollissima were collected from Beijing, Guizhou, Hunan, Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces, and leaf-inhabiting fungi were identified based on morphology and phylogeny. As a result, twenty-six fungal species were confirmed, including one new family, one new genus, and five new species. The new taxa are Pyrisporaceae fam. nov., Pyrispora gen. nov., Aureobasidium castaneae sp. nov., Discosia castaneae sp. nov., Monochaetia castaneae sp. nov., Neopestalotiopsis sichuanensis sp. nov. and Pyrispora castaneae sp. nov.

Morphology and Phylogeny of Pestalotiopsis (Sporocadaceae, Amphisphaeriales) from Fagaceae Leaves in China

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper identified 16 Pestalotiopsis species based on morphology and phylogeny of combined loci of internal transcribed spacers (ITS), the translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1), and the beta-tubulin (tub2) genes.

Neopestalotiopsis species associated with flower diseases of Macadamia integrifolia in Australia

TL;DR: In this article, a survey of fungi associated with the dry flower disease of macadamia inflorescences detected several isolates of Neopestalotiopsis (Pestaloopsidaceae, Sordariomycetes), and five new species were identified based on molecular phylogenetic analyses of concatenated gene sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), β-tubulin (TUB), and the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1α).

MrBayes 3: Bayesian phylogenetic inference under mixed models

TL;DR: MrBayes 3 performs Bayesian phylogenetic analysis combining information from different data partitions or subsets evolving under different stochastic evolutionary models to analyze heterogeneous data sets and explore a wide variety of structured models mixing partition-unique and shared parameters.

Development of primer sets designed for use with the PCR to amplify conserved genes from filamentous ascomycetes.

TL;DR: Nine sets of oligonucleotide primers constructed on the basis of the results of DNA hybridization of cloned genes from Neurospora crassa and Aspergillus nidulans may provide useful tools for phylogenetic studies and genome analyses in filamentous ascomycetes and deuteromycete affiliations, as well as for the rapid differentiation of fungal species by PCR.

Phylogenetic relationships among ascomycetes: evidence from an RNA polymerse II subunit.

TL;DR: Findings show that a slowly evolving protein-coding gene such as RPB2 is useful for diagnosing phylogenetic relationships among fungi, and suggests that fruiting body formation and forcible discharge of ascospores were characters gained early in the evolution of the Ascomycota.

The Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex

TL;DR: The limit of the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex is defined genetically, based on a strongly supported clade within the Col letteredum ITS gene tree, as well as all taxa accepted within this clade, as it has been applied in the literature for the past 50 years.
