Abstract | Macrophomina species are necrotrophic, seed-borne, and soilborne plant pathogenic fungi, causing charcoal rot and dry root rot on more than 500 plant species.Since the introduction of the genus in 1923, taxonomy of Macrophomina has been revised several times. Until recently, Macrophomina was believed to be monotypic, with M. phaseolina as the only species within this genus. However, more recent multilocus phylogenetic analyses revealed the presence of several cryptic species, namely, M. euphorbiicola, M. pseudophaseolina, M. tecta, and M. vaccinii. While M. phaseolina is a globally distributed species with a broad host range, the other species, such as M. euphorbiicola, M. tecta, and M. vaccinii, are known from a limited number of hosts and locations. Morphological similarity of Macrophomina species emphasizes the need for detailed molecular studies for species identification and indicates that results from studies that only rely on morphological species identification may need to be treated with caution. |
