Pseudopestalotiopsis is a genus of plant pathogens in the family Sporocadaceae.[2]

The genus was published by Maharachch., K.D. Hyde & Crous in Studies in Mycology vol.79 on page 135 in 2014.[1] The type species is Pseudopestalotiopsis theae (Sawada) Maharachch., K.D. Hyde & Crous[3]

It was named after its morphological similarity to Pestalotiopsis.[1]

Notes – Pseudopestalotiopsis species are widely distributed as saprobes or pathogens, occurring on leaves (Maharachchikumbura et al. 2014b, 2016a). They have conidia with concolourous, brown to dark brown or olivaceous median pigmented cells (Maharachchikumbura et al. 2014b).[3]

It was originally placed in family Pestalotiopsidaceae before that was absorbed into the family Sporocadaceae. Jaklitsch et al. (2016),[4] synonymised Bartaliniaceae, Discosiaceae, Pestalotiopsidaceae and Robillardaceae, and then revived the older family name of Sporocadaceae to accommodate them (Crous et al. 2015).[5] Pestalotiopsidaceae is still sometimes used.[6][7][8]

Hosts

Pestalotiopsis and related genera, including Neopestalotiopsis and Pseudopestalotiopsis have damaged many plants for many decades.[9]

In 2021, it was found that fungal pathogens, Pseudopestalotiopsis gilvanii sp. nov. and Neopestalotiopsis formicarum both cause spots on the leaves of the guarana plant (cupana var. sorbilis) in the Amazon forest of Brazil. Pseudopestalotiopsis gilvanii was also pathogenic to açaí palms (Euterpe oleracea and Euterpe precatoria), and the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis), but not to banana (Musa paradisiaca var. pacovan) and rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis).[10]

Two coelomycetous fungal strains with appendage-bearing conidia were collected from diseased leaves of Celtis sinensis (Urticales, Ulmaceae family) and also Indocalamus tessellatus (Poales, Poaceae family) in Yunnan and Hainan provinces of southern China. Both fungal strains produced 4-septate conidia with concolourous median cells, which were similar to Pestalotiopsis and Pseudopestalotiopsis. But later morphological comparison and DNA testing revealed that they were new to science and then labelled as Pseudopestalotiopsis celtidis and Pseudopestalotiopsis indocalami.[11]

On Camellia sinensis (the tea tree), species from three genera (Pseudopestalotiopsis camelliae-sinensis, Neopestalotiopsis clavispora and Pestalotiopsis camelliae) have been associated with gray blight symptoms (Chen et al. 2018).[12] Species Pseudopestalotiopsis theae (Sawada) Maharachch., K.D. Hyde & Crous is also known to cause Gray Tea Blight on tea tree plants. It damages production and alters the quality of the tea produced. It mainly infects mature and old plant foliage and can also infect young shoots. Under conditions of high temperature and high humidity it can lead to defoliation of the plants. It was first found in 1973 in Kagoshima, Japan and was originally called 'zonate leaf spot' (Takaya 1978).[13] and published as Pestalotiopsis theae. When the genus Pseudopestalotiopsis was created in 2014, it was transferred to the genus as well. Pseudopestalotiopsis theae is also found in India and China, while a similar blight causing fungus Pestalotiopsis longiseta (within the same family) is only found in Japan.[14] In Taiwan, species Pseudopestalotiopsis annellata, Pseudopestalotiopsis chinensis, Pseudopestalotiopsis camelliae-sinensis, Pestalotiopsis camelliae, Pestalotiopsis yanglingensis and Pestalotiopsis trachicarpicola have been found causing Gray blight disease on Camellia sinensis plants.[15]

Distribution

It has a scattered distribution, found in Central America, South America (including Brazil,[10]), Africa, Asia, (including Thailand,[9] India and China,[14]) Australia and New Zealand.[16]

Species

The genus Pseudopestalotiopsis comprised of only seven species in 2017: Pseudopestalotiopsis camelliae, Pseudopestalotiopsis cocos, Pseudopestalotiopsis ignota, Pseudopestalotiopsis indica, Pseudopestalotiopsis kubahensis, Pseudopestalotiopsis simitheae, and Pseudopestalotiopsis theae. While surveying Pseudopestalotiopsis fungi in Vietnam during 2013 and in Myanmar during 2015, 2 new species were found and published. They were named as Pseudopestalotiopsis myanmarina and Pseudopestalotiopsis vietnamensis.[17]

Up to 2022, 15 taxa of Pseudopestalotiopsis were known.[3] But more have been added since. Below is species list as accepted by Species Fungorum;[18]
