Phomopsis longicolla Thomas W. Hobbs, 1985 [1]

Phomopsis longicolla is a species of ascomycete fungus in the family Diaporthaceae. It is a plant pathogen and mainly responsible for a soybean disease called Phomopsis seed decay (PSD). In other plant species, P. longicolla can also live as an endophyte, such as in the mangrove plant Sonneratia caseolaris . ^[2] P. longicolla has been found to produce a number of cytotoxic and antimicrobial secondary metabolites, especially members of the class of phomoxanthones. ^{[3] [4]} P. longicolla was first described in 1985 by Thomas W. Hobbs et al. at the Department of Plant Pathology at Ohio State University. ^[1]
