Phyllosticta is a genus of fungi. Many of the species in this genus are common and important plant pathogens. They typically infect the foliage and cause tannish-gray leaf spots with dark brown to purple borders. However, Phyllosticta may also infect fruit and stems. Yield loss is a common consequence of Phyllosticta infection.[2] Representatives of the genus are found worldwide and on a wide range of plant hosts.[3]

History

edit

Phyllosticta was introduced by German mycologist Persoon in 1818 and species Phyllosticta convallariae Pers. was designated as the type species (Donk 1968).[4] Since Phyllosticta is distinct from other genera in that family, Seaver (1922) treated it in the family Phyllostictaceae Fr. of the order Phyllostictites.[5] Nevertheless, Phyllosticta was accommodated in the family Botryosphaeriaceae Theiss. & Syd. (in order Botryosphaeriales C.L. Schoch et al.) in several major studies (e.g. Crous et al. 2006;[6] Schoch et al. 2006;[7] Liu et al. 2012).[8] However, the phylogenetic analyses by Wikee et al. (2013a) allocated Phyllosticta in a clade sister to Botryosphaeriaceae.[9] As a result, the genus was accepted in the family Phyllostictaceae, in the order Botryosphaeriales.[3]

A total of 3,213 names are documented for Phyllosticta in the Index Fungorum (accessed on 31 March 2022) (Hongsanan et al. 2020; Wijayawardene et al. 2020).[10] However, many of these names have been synonymised (van der Aa and Vanev 2002).[11] In 2022, 1499 species are accepted in the genus (Bánki et al. 2022).[12]
