The stock culture (NIBRFG0000499836) was deposited in the National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR), metabolically inactive culture.</p> <p>*Ex-type (ex-epitype) strains</p> <p>The isolated strain is shown in bold</p> <p>Habitat: The species was found in soil. The soil was a yellowish-brown, fine gravelly clay loam, with a low moisture capacity.</p> <p>Description: The average diameters of colonies on PDA and MEA were 73.8 mm and 64.9 mm, respectively, after three days of incubation at 25 °C. The growth of mycelial colonies was round, and there were also variations in the diameter of the colonies across the different media (FIGURE 2). On MEA, white mycelium developed and turned dark gray; the reverse color was pale brown to dark brown at the center. On PDA, initially floccose white to brown mycelium developed and turned black after three days at 25 °C. Conidiomata were pycnidial, globose, immersed, unilocular, and dark brown to black; the ostiole was single, central, and circular; the conidiomata wall was brown to dark brown. Conidiophores reduced to conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells were hyaline, subcylindrical to cylindrical, and smooth, arising from the inner wall of the locule. Conidia were oblong to clavate, oval, round and with a blunt edge apex, aseptate with a smooth thick wall, of a size in the range of 22.7– 29.3 μm × 8.9–10.9 μm, hyaline became yellowish to dark brown (n=100). Sometimes the wall edge was dark yellow (FIGURE 2).</p> <p>Notes: Morphologically, strain KNU16-007 resembles the phylogenetically closely related D. sapinea, Diplodia intermedia A.J.L. Phillips, J. Lopes &amp; A. Alves, D. scrobiculata, D. seriata, Diplodia rosacearum S. Giambra, A. Alves, J. Armengol &amp; S. Burruano, Diplodia crataegicola Dissanayake, Camporesi &amp; K.D. Hyde, and Diplodia citricarpa Abdollahz. &amp; Crous, but the novel species is readily distinguishable from them by its conidia shape and size (Table 2). The average size of the conidia of strain KNU16-007 (26.0 μm × 9.9 μm) is much shorter than that of D. sapinea (41.5 μm × 16.3 μm), D. scrobiculata (39.5 μm × 14.0 μm), and D. intermedia (31.3 μm × 13.5 μm). The average conidia length of strain KNU16-007 is significantly longer than that of D. crataegicola (14 μm), and slightly longer than that of D. citricarpa (23.5 μm), D. rosacearum (23.7 μm), and D. seriata (24.5 μm). However, the width of its conidia is much shorter than that of D. seriata (13.0 μm) and D. rosacearum (12.8 μm). The conidial length:width ratio clearly differentiates strain KNU16-007 (2.63) from D. crataegicola (1.55), D. seriata (1.88), and D. rosacearum (1.9). Finally, in contrast to D. citricarpa and D. rosacearum, conidia of KNU16-007 do not become 1-septate with age.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B4C520E465FFCF2CD6F8B4FC9FBC09	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
