e1“a leaf spot disease was found on E. pungens in the campus of Nanjing Forestry University, China”
e7“Phylogenetic analysis using concatenated sequences of ITS, TEF1-α, and TUB2 also showed that isolate 3-3-1, 3-3-2, 3-3-3, and 3-3-4 clustered monophyletically with N. clavispora, and supported with a high bootstrap value (80%)”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Leaf spot on E. pungens in a campus of Nanjing Forestry University had an incidence rate of ca. 77%.
- Observation Leaf spot on E. pungens began as small brown spots on the leaves that enlarged and coalesced into gray necrotic lesions with dark margins.
- Observation The ITS, TEF1-α and TUB2 sequences of the isolates showed 100%, 97% and 99% similarity to Neopestalotiopsis clavispora.
- Observation Isolates 3-3-1 to 3-3-4 were identified as N. clavispora based on phylogeny and morphology.
- Observation This is the first report of leaf spot caused by N. clavispora on E. pungens worldwide.
- Observation Isolate 3-3-4 grew at an average of 12.2 mm per day on PDA at 25 °C.
- Observation Conidia of the isolates were spindle shaped with five cells and four septa, averaging 23.31 ± 1.81 × 7.33 ± 1.07 μm.
- Observation The pathogen was isolated from diseased E. pungens tissue at a frequency of ca. 100%.
- Intervention effect Inoculation of E. pungens leaves with mycelial plugs or conidial suspensions of isolate 3-3-4 produced necrotic lesions, whereas PDA discs and dH2O produced none.
