new Alternaria species from grapevine in China

Twelve Alternaria strains were isolated from pedicels and rachis from different parts of grapevines in China. In a phylogenetic analysis, nine showed a close relationship with Alternaria longipes, and are described as a new species, A. viniferae sp. nov., but the other four clustered with A. alterna...

Description
Summary:Twelve Alternaria strains were isolated from pedicels and rachis from different parts of grapevines in China. In a phylogenetic analysis, nine showed a close relationship with Alternaria longipes, and are described as a new species, A. viniferae sp. nov., but the other four clustered with A. alternata and A. arborescens within the alternata species-group. The new species can clearly be separated from other related small-spored Alternaria species based on sequences of portions of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gpd) and Alternaria major allergen (Alt a 1) genes as well as by distinctive morphology.
