(Leptosphaeriaceae, Pleosporales) associated with Chenopodium quinoa leaf spots JF - Phytopathologia Mediterranea JA - Phytopathol. Mediterr. VL - 59 IS - 2 SE - Research Papers DO - 10.14601/Phyto-11113 UR - https://oajournals.fupress.net/index.php/pm/article/view/11113 SP - 219-227 AB - <p class="p1">A coelomycetous fungus with hyaline, aseptate, oblong to ellipsoidal conidia was isolated from living <em>Chenopodium quinoa</em> leaves with leaf spots, in Beijing, China. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of a combined LSU, SSU, ITS and TEF sequence dataset confirmed its placement in<em> Heterosporicola</em> in <em>Leptosphaeriaceae</em>. The new taxon resembles other <em>Heterosporicola</em> species, but is phylogenetically distinct, and is introduced as a new species. <em>Heterosporicola</em> <em>beijingense</em> sp. nov. is compared with other <em>Heterosporicola</em> species, and comprehensive descriptions and micrographs are provided.</p> ER -
