Paraboeremia litseae J. R. Jiang et al., Mycological Progress. 16: 291. 2017

Description.

see Jiang et al. (2017).

Materials examined.

China, Yunnan Province, from diseased leaves of C. sinensis, 23 Mar 2020, Y. C. Wang, culture YCW 1356 and culture YCW 1363 .

Notes.

Isolates of Paraboeremia litseae clustered into a sister clade to P. selaginellae (Fig. 5). It was first isolated from Litsea sp. (Jiang et al. 2017). Conidia produced by P. litseae are oblong to ellipsoidal and aseptate with two large polar guttules (Jiang et al. 2017). This species as an endophytic fungus in Coptis chinensis exhibited obvious inhibition against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (Ming et al. 2022) . In the present study, two strains were isolated from diseased tea plant leaves. This is the first report of P. litseae causing leaf blight on C. sinensis .
