Abstract
:Two new species of Diatrype collected in northeast China are described and illustrated based on morphological and molecular evidence. Diatrype larissae from Heilongjiang Province is characterised by having 3–6 perithecia in a stroma, asci polysporous, ascospores allantoid, aseptate, slightly or moderately curved, subhyaline. Diatrype betulaceicola from Inner Mongolia has large stroma with 5–14 perithecia, perithecium immersed, asci polysporous, long-stalked, ascospores allantoid, aseptate, slightly curved, subhyaline. The phylogenies inferred from the data set of nrDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS) and beta-tubulin (β-tubulin) supported the two new species both as members in the genus Diatrype and distinct species. The morphological similarities and dissimilarities of the new species with phylogenetically close relatives are discussed. A dichotomous identification key to the Diatrype spp. known from China is proposed.
1. Introduction
Diatrypaceae Nitschke, an important family of Xylariales, was introduced by Nitschke (1869) with Diatrype Fr. as the type genus [1,2,3]. Members of Diatrypaceae are world-wide in distribution, and, some species parasitize plants and cause plant diseases, which are plant pathogens [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11].
The genus Diatrype Fr. was established by Fries (1849) with Diatrype disciformis (Hoffm.) Fr. as the type, which has often been identified as saprobe on rotting wood [3]. The known distribution of Diatrype covers Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania and South Africa [3,5,6,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18]. Traditionally, the genus is characterised by stromata widely effuse or verrucose, flat or slightly convex, with discoid or sulcate ostioles at the surface, eight-spored and long-stalked asci and hyaline or brownish, allantoid ascospores [3,19,20,21].
The molecular phylogenetic analysis of Diatrypaceae based on ITS including five genera, viz. Cryptosphaeria Ces. and De Not., Diatrype, Diatrypella (Ces. and De Not.) De Not., Eutypa Tul. and C. Tul., and Eutypella (Nitschke) Sacc., were performed, and suggesting a polyphyletic origin for the five genera [4]. More recently, many diatrypaceous taxa were described and illustrated based on morphological characters and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses [8,9,10,11,18,22,23,24]. The taxonomy and molecular phylogeny of Diatrype have not been so well studied in China. A new species of Diatrype subundulata Lar. N. Vassiljeva and H.X. Ma is described, mainly based on morphological data from northeastern China [17]. Recently, two new species of Diatrype were studied based on anamorph and molecular data, and recognised Diatrype quercicola H.Y. Zhu and X.L. Fan as a new species with polysporous asci by combining morphological and phylogenetic analyses [24]. In addition, a new species Diatrype lancangensis S.H. Long and Q.R. Li was introduced from Yunnan province of China by studying morphological characteristics and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses.
During investigations on the diversity of diatrypaceous fungi in northeast China, two undescribed species of Diatrype were identified based on morphological criteria and molecular genetic analyses. The primary purposes of the present paper were to study these specimens by using morphological and multi-gene DNA datasets and discuss the phylogeny of the family Diatrypaceae, based on expanded sampling.
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Morphological Examination
The specimens studied are deposited at the Fungarium of Institute of Tropical Bioscience and Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences (FCATAS). Microscopical structures of the sexual morph were measured from fresh material mounted in distilled water, 10% KOH and Melzer’s iodine reagent, respectively [25]. The photographs of stromata were taken using a Canon G16 camera. Each specimen measured over 30 ascus, 30 ascospores, 15 stromata, 15 perithecia. The photographs of stromatal surface were taken with a VHX-600E microscope of the Keyence Corporation. Microscopic observations and measurements were taken by an Olympus IX73 inverted fluorescence microscope at magnifications up to 1000×. The following abbreviations are used in the text: n = the quantity of a morphological feature measured from a specified number of specimens, = the arithmetic mean of the measured values.
2.2. DNA Amplification and Sequencing
A CTAB rapid plant genome extraction kit-DN14 (Aidlab Biotechnologies Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) was used to obtain genomic DNA from dried specimens, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and β-tubulin (TUB2) was amplified with primer pairs ITS5/ITS4 and T1/T22, respectively [26,27]. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out in a volume of 40 μL, which contained 16 μL of ddH2O, 20 μL of 2× PCR Master Mix (2× HSTM Mix), 1 μL of DNA template and 1 μL of forward and reverse primers in each reaction. The PCR procedure for ITS was as follows: initial denaturation at 95 °C for 3 min, followed by 35 cycles at 94 °C for 40 s, 58 °C for 45 s and 72 °C for 1 min, and a final extension of 72 °C for 10 min. With regard to TUB2, the amplification reaction followed: 3 min at 95 °C, followed by 35 cycles of 1 min at 94 °C, 1 min at 52° C, and 1.5 min at 72 °C, with a final extension of 72 °C for 10 min. DNA sequencing was performed at BGI tech, Guangzhou, China. All newly generated sequences were deposited at GenBank (http://0-www-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.brum.beds.ac.uk/genbank (accessed on 13 January 2022); Table 1).
2.3. Phylogenetic Analyses
Sequencher 4.6 (GeneCodes, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) was used to edit the DNA sequence. Sequences were aligned in MAFFT 7 (http://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/server/) (accessed on 6 December 2021) using the “G-INS-i” strategy and manually adjusted in BioEdit [28]. The sequence alignment was deposited in TreeBase (submission ID 29299). Xylaria hypoxylon (L.) Grev. and Kretzschmaria deusta (Hoffm.) P.M.D. Martin obtained from GenBank were used as outgroups.
Sequences were analysed using Maximum Likelihood (ML) through the raxmlGUI 2.0 and Cipres Science Gateway (www.phylo.org) (accessed on 6 December 2021) [29]. Branch support (BS) for ML analysis was determined by 1000 bootstrap replicates.
MrModeltest 2.3 [30] was used to determine the best-fit evolution model for each data set for Bayesian inference (BI). Bayesian inference was calculated with MrBayes 3.1.2 with a general time reversible GTR+I+G model of DNA substitution and a gamma distribution rate variation across sites [31]. Four Markov chains were run for 2 runs from random starting trees for 1.2 million generations, and trees were sampled every 100 generations. The first 1/4 generations were discarded as burn-in. A majority rule consensus tree of all remaining trees was calculated. Branches were considered as significantly supported if they received maximum likelihood bootstrap (BS) > 70%, Bayesian posterior probabilities (BPP) > 0.95.
3. Results
3.1. Molecular Phylogeny
The contribution of the molecular phylogenetic tree based on 151 sequences of two DNA loci (87 ITS and 64 β-tubulin sequences) was composed of 59 strains including two newly described species, two species of Allocryptovalsa, three species of Allodiatrype, one species of Anthostoma, two species of Cryptosphaeria, one species of Cryptovalsa, 20 species of Diatrype, nine species of Diatrypella, seven species of Eutypa, four species of Eutypella, two species of Halodiatrype, one species of Monosporascus, one species of Neoeutypella, one species of Pedumispora, one species of Quaternaria and the X. hypoxylon and K. deusta as outgroups. The dataset had an aligned length of 881 characters, of which 419 characters are constant, 54 are variable and parsimony-uninformative, and 408 are parsimony-informative. Bayesian analysis resulted in a similar topology with an average standard deviation of split frequencies = 0.007642 (BI).
The phylogeny (Figure 1) inferred from ITS and β-tubulin sequences demonstrated that two new taxa were nested in Diatrype and are clearly separated from other sampled species of Diatrype. Diatrype larissae was sister to Diatrype betulaceicola with a weakly supported lineage in the phylogenetic tree.

4. Discussion
In the present study, two Diatrype species with polysporous asci from China, D. larissae and D. betulaceicola, were described and illustrated as new species based on phylogenetic analyses and morphological characteristics.
Diatrype betulaceicola is characterized by larger stoma with 5–14 perithecia, pustulate, circular to oblong, perithecium immersed, ostiole with a long neck, asci polysporous, ascospores allantoid, aseptate, slightly curved, subhyaline (Figure 2). The new species were found on branch of Betula sp., and, while five Diatrype taxa, D. albopruinosa (Schwein.) Cooke, D. betulae H.Y. Zhu and X.L. Fan, D. oregonensis (Wehm.) Rappaz, D. stigma (Hoffm.) Fr. and D. undulata (Pers.) Fr., were also reported from Betula sp. [6,15,17,24,32]. However, D. betulaceicola can be easily distinguished from the other five taxa by it polysporous asci and phylogenetic analyses. According to our phylogenetic tree based on a combined ITS-TUB2 dataset, and as shown in previous studies [4,11,23,24,33,34,35,36,37], the genus Diatrype as currently circumscribed is of polyphyletic origin within the family Diatrypaceae. Diatrype betulaceicola and D. larissae clustered together with a weakly supported sister branch, which were clearly separated from other sampled species of Diatrype. Morphologically, D. larissae is distinguished by its smaller stroma with 3–6 perithecia, pustulate, circular to oval, rather angular, asci polysporous, ascospores allantoid, slightly or moderately curved, subhyaline (Figure 3). The two new Diatrype are somewhat similar in morphology and size of asci and ascospores, but D. betulaceicola has larger stromata (1.9–2.6 × 1.2–2.4 vs. 0.7–1.4 × 0.5–1.1 mm) and perithecia (395–588 × 340–516 vs. 254–401 × 211–362 μm).
Diatrypequercicola H.Y. Zhu and X.L. Fan also has multisporate asci, but it differs in having larger asci and ascospres (172–183 × 20–43, 17–27 × 4–6 μm) [24], and is distinct from D. betulaceicola and D. larissae phylogenetic trait (Figure 1).
Traditionally, the number of ascospores per ascus (eight-spores vs. more than eight-spores) was morphological criterion for separating the two genera of Diatrype and Diatrypella [19]. Based on phylogenetic analysis of ITS and β-tubulin presented here, we agree with the previous concepts that the polysporous ascus feature cannot be used to distinguish Diatrypella from Diatrype [4,11,33,38,39] (Figure 1). The current phylogenetic analyses show the generic divisions are confusing, and cannot reflect the natural relationships of genera and species within the Diatrypaceae. Therefore, more collections, epitypification, and multi-gene sequences as well as the application of integrative (or polyphasic) taxonomic approach of Diatrypaceae are needed in the future.
