Two new endophytic fungal species of Diaporthe in the leaves of Camellia oleifera
Seventy isolates of Diporthe fungi from healthy Camellia oleifera leaves were obtained by using tissue isolation method.Based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of five fragment sequences(ITS,TEF,TUB,CAL,HIS),eight representative isolates were identified as six species,D.biguttulata,D.eres,D.hongkongensis,D.fusicola,D.qimenensis sp.nov.and D.reniformis sp.nov.β-Type conidia were not observed in the two new species.D.reniformis produces distinct reniform conidia.
