Morphological and molecular characterisation of Xylaria bifida a new species from French bean and corn fields of Jammu and Kashmir, India
摘要
An ascomycete morphologically similar to the genus Xylaria Hill ex Schrank (Xylariaceae, Ascomycota) associated with the infected roots and crop debris of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and corn roots collected from the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, India. Morpho-anatomical, cultural, and molecular work revealed it to be a new species. Illustrated morphological description, phylogenetic analysis and comparison with similar species, are also presented.
