Phylogenetic analysis reveals three new Cytospora species on Prunus and Salix trees, highlighting fungal diversity and clarifying species boundaries among canker pathogens.

Key Points

Three novel fungal taxa—Cytospora hejingensis, C. jilongensis, and C. kunsensis—were uncovered from infected woody tissues displaying typical tree cankers.
Six isolates grouped into three distinct clades separated from known taxa, exhibiting characteristic allantoid hyaline conidia and ascospores across samples.
Combined morphological and molecular analyses of beta-tubulin and internal transcribed spacer loci delineate these lineages, improving species concepts in Cytospora.
