Description
Asexual morph: Mycelium consisting of smooth, hyaline, branched, septate, 1.1–5.9 µm diam. hyphae (n = 20). Conidiophores reduced to conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells subglobose to ampulliform, erect, blastic, aggregated in clusters on hyphae, smooth, branched, 3.4–9.4 × 1.5–6.4 µm, mean (± SD): 6.8 (± 1.6) × 3.9 (± 1.3) µm (n = 50). Conidia globose, subglobose to lenticular, with a longitudinal germ slit, occasionally elongated to ellipsoidal, brown to dark brown, smooth to finely roughened, 6.4–10.4 × 5.2–8.3 µm, mean (± SD): 7.7 (± 0.6) × 6.8 (± 0.7) µm, L/W = 1.0–1.5 (n = 50). Sexual morph: Undetermined.
Culture characteristics
On PDA, colonies thick and dense, margin undulate and irregular, pale yellow pigment diffused into medium, surface with patches of iron-grey aerial mycelia, reverse yellowish-brown, mycelia white to grey, sporulation on hyphae, reaching 9 cm in 7 days at 25 °C.
Specimens examined
China, Yunnan Province: Xishuangbanna Botanical Garden, on diseased leaves of Brunfelsia brasiliensis, 6 June 2022, S.J. Li, BJFC-S1918; living cultures CFCC 58977, LS 107).
Notes
In this study, two isolates clustered together with the culture of A. arundinis with high-support values (ML/BI = 100/0.99)in the multi-locus phylogenetic tree (Fig. 1). Thus, these isolates were identified as A. arundinis and Brunfelsia brasiliensis as a new host record for this species. Apiospora arundinis was introduced from Phyllostachys praecox, Castanea mollissima and Saccharum officinarum in China (Chen et al. 2014[1]; Jiang et al. 2021[2]; Liao et al. 2022[3]). Comparing with the description from Chen et al. (2014)[1] (5–7 × 2–4 µm), Jiang et al. (2021)[2] (3–4 µm) and Liao et al. (2022)[3] (4.5–7.4 × 3.3–4.4 µm), the conidia in this study show larger sizes (6.4–10.4 × 5.2–8.3 µm). These differences may result from different host and habitat.
