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

Contents

It was published by Marie-Anne Libert in 1837. [3]

The genus was re-studied by Subramanian and Reddy (1974), [4] who designated Discosia strobilinaLib. ex Sacc. as lectotype for the genus (Nag Raj 1993; Tanaka et al. 2011). [5] Later, when Sphaeria artocreasTode was transferred to the genus and combined under Discosia artocreas(Tode) Fr., the latter was chosen as lectotype of the genus (Fries 1849; Vanev 1991). [6]

Vanev (1991, 1992a, b, c, d) made a detailed taxonomic revision of the genus. On the basis of the location of the conidial septa and appendages, he delimited six sections (Vanev 1991), and to clarify the status of the genus he designated its lectotype as Discosia artocreas(Tode: Fr.) Fr. (Vanev 1992a). [7]

In 2015, Senanayake, Indunil C.; Maharachchikumbura, Sajeewa S. N. et al. (2015) moved the genus to its own family DiscosiaceaeMaharachch. & K.D. Hyde 2015. [8] But in 2016, it was moved back into the family Sporocadaceae . [3] [9]

Hosts

Discosia rhododendricola sp.nov, Neopestalotiopsis rhododendricola sp.nov and Diaporthe nobilis were new asexual fungal species found in 2022 on Rhododendron spp. in Kunming, Yunnan Province in China. [10] Discosia strobilina has been found on various rhododendron species (including Rhododendron arboreum and Rhododendron campulatum ) as leaf spots on dead and living leaves in Mexico, Europe, India and Japan. Discosia vagans was found on fallen leaves and dead stems on various rhododendron species in Italy and India. [11] In Poland species of Discosia were found on 12 host plants including Anemone nemorosa L., Galium odoratum (L.) Scop., Gymnocarpium dryopteris (L.) Newman, Moehringia trinervia (L.) Clairv., Mycelis muralis (L.) Dumort., Oxalis acetosella L., Tilia cordata Mill. and Viola reichenbachiana Jord. ex Boreau. [12] Discosia artocreas has been found in America on Cercis canadensis , Magnolia glauca and Aralia spinosa . [13] In Alabama, USA species Discosia artocreas was found on Prunus serotina and Acer rubrum . [14] Discosia italica and Discosia fagi were found on the dead leaves of Fagus sylvatica in Italy. [15]

Discosia rubi has been trialled as treatment for human pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans . [16]

Distribution

It has a wide scattered cosmopolitan distribution; [17] it is found in the USA, [13] [14] Mexico, [11] Europe, (including Italy, [3] [15] [18] and Poland, [12] ) India, [11] Japan, [5] [11] Thailand, [3] China, [10] and New Zealand. [3]
