Crous, [email protected] Abstract: The present study compares all known species of Cylindrocladium that have clavate vesicles. Several isolates were obtained from baited soils collected in various parts of the world, while others were associated with leaf litter or symptomatic plant hosts. Isolates were compared based on morphology, as well as DNA sequence data from their β-tubulin and histone gene H3 regions. Cylindrocladium australiense and Cy. ecuadoriae, are described as new species, a decision based on morphology and molecular data. A group of isolates associated with toppling disease of banana in the West Indies is identified as Cy. flexuosum. An epitype is designated for Cy. ilicicola, and a new name, Curvicladiella, proposed to replace the anamorphic genus Curvicladium, which is a homonym.

Isolates (Nectriaceae, Hypocreales, Ascomycetes) and Isolates were obtained from plant hosts, or baited their Cylindrocladium Morgan (Cy.) anamorphs are from soil as explained in Crous (2002). Cultural commonly associated with a wide range of plant disease characteristics and morphology were determined on symptoms (Crous 2002). The current paper represents plates containing 2 % malt extract agar (MEA) (20 g/ the second in a series assessing the taxonomy of L), and carnation leaf agar (CLA) [1 % water agar (10 species of Cylindrocladium, by integrating morphology g/L) with autoclaved carnation leaves placed onto the with DNA sequence data and sexual compatibility medium] in the other (Gams et al. 1998). Plates were studies (Crous et al. 2004). incubated for 7 d at 25 °C under continuous near-UV Cylindrocladium species with clavate vesicles are light, to promote sporulation. well-known pathogens from a wide range of hosts in most subtropical to tropical countries (Crous & Wingfield DNA phylogeny 1992, Crous et al. 1995, 1997, 1999, 2000, Kang et al. Genomic DNA was isolated from fungal mycelia 2001, Crous 2002). In the current study, we obtained collected from the plates using the isolation protocol numerous isolates of Cylindrocladium from baited soils collected in tropical areas. Further Cylindrocladium of Lee & Taylor (1990). Two loci were amplified and isolates were obtained from a biotic complex sequenced as explained in Crous et al. (2004), namely, including root rot fungi and plant-parasitic nematodes part of the β-tubulin gene, amplified with primers T1 associated with toppling disease of banana (Risède (O’Donnell & Cigelnik 1997) and CYLTUB1R (Crous et & Simoneau 2001). Previous studies have shown al. 2004); and part of the histone H3 gene using primers that isolates resembling Cy. gracile (Bugn.) Boesew. CYLH3F and CYLH3R (Crous et al. 2004). were pathogenic to banana, and associated with stem The sequences generated in this study were added lesions, root breakage and toppling disease (Risède & to other sequences obtained from GenBank (http://www. Simoneau 2001, 2004). The aim of the present study ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and TreeBASE (http://www.treebase. was to analyze all available Cylindrocladium strains with org) and the alignment was assembled using Sequence clavate vesicles using morphology and DNA sequence Alignment Editor v. 2.0a11 (Rambaut 2002) with manual analysis of their β-tubulin and histone H3 gene regions adjustments for improvement made visually where in order to resolve the status of Cylindrocladium species necessary. Sequences for Cylindrocladiella peruviana with clavate vesicles. A further aim was to identify the (Bat., J.L. Bezerra & M.M.P. Herrera) Boesew. and Cylindrocladium sp. associated with toppling disease Cylindrocladiella lageniformis Crous, M.J. Wingf. & of banana. Alfenas were added to the alignments as outgroups. 213 CROUS ET AL.
