Abstract

The ascomycete order Diaporthales includes a number of plant pathogenic fungi, the most notorious of which is Cryphonectria parasitica, the chestnut blight fungus, as well as many asexually reproducing plant pathogenic fungi without known sexual states. Relationships among genera in the Diaporthales were evaluated as a basis for the recognition of families and to provide a taxonomic framework for the asexually reproducing diaporthalean fungi. The major lineages within the Diaporthales were determined based on a sequence analysis of the large subunit (LSU) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA of 83 sequences representing 69 taxa. Results suggest the presence of at least six lineages within the Diaporthales recognized as the Gnomoniaceae sensu stricto, Melanconidaceae sensu stricto, Schizoparme complex including the anamorph genera Coniella and Pilidiella, Cryphonectria-Endothia complex, Valsaceae, and Diaporthaceae. Six teleomorphic and anamorphic taxa fell within the Diaporthales but were not allied with any of the six major lineages.
