Diaporthe spp. are responsible for diseases on a wide range of plants hosts, some of which are economically important worldwide, causing root and fruit rots, dieback, cankers, leaf spots, blights, decay and wilt (Uecker 1988, Mostert et al. 2001a, van Rensburg et al. 2006, Santos et al. 2011, Thompson et al. 2011). Currently, MycoBank (accessed Sept. 2012) lists more than 1 000 names in the genus Phomopsis, while Diaporthe contains more than 860 names. In the past species have chiefly been described under the assumption they are host-specific, leading to a proliferation of names based on the hosts from which they were isolated (Uecker 1988). However, subsequent studies have found that many species are able to colonise diverse hosts as opportunists, and that several different species could even co-occur on the same host or lesion (Brayford 1990, Rehner & Uecker 1994, Mostert et al. 2001a, Farr et al. 2002, Crous & Groenewald 2005). Curiously, some species of Diaporthe can be either pathogenic or harmless endophytes depending on the host and its health. For example, D. phaseolorum is pathogenic to soybean (Santos et al. 2011), but endophytic in mangroves (Laguncularia racemosa) (Sebastiane et al. 2011). With the deletion of Art. 59 from the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), asexual and sexual names of fungi receive equal status (Hawksworth et al. 2011, Wingfield et al. 2012). Because the name Diaporthe (1870) predates Phomopsis (1905), Diaporthe is adopted in the present study for this group of fungi (Santos et al. 2010, 2011, Crous et al. 2011, Udayanga et al. 2012). Diaporthe (incl. its Phomopsis state) has been reported as one of the most frequently encountered genera of endophytic fungi in several plant hosts (Murali et al. 2006, Botella & Diez 2011). The genus has also frequently been recognised as a producer of interesting enzymes and secondary metabolites (Isaka et al. 2001, Kobayashi et al. 2003, Dai et al. 2005, Elsaesser et al. 2005) with antibiotic (Bandre & Sasek 1977, Dettrakul et al. 2003, Lin et al. 2005) or anticancer (Kumaran & Hur 2009) activity. Furthermore, species of Diaporthe have in the past been noted to deter herbivory (Brayford 1990, Weber 2009, Vesterlund et al. 2011), have lignocellulolytic activities (Jordaan et al. 2006), or have been applied as bioherbicides (Ash et al. 2010). The accurate application of accepted names of plant pathogenic fungi is essential for the development of effective biosecurity and trade policies (Crous & Groenewald 2005, Wingfield et al. 2012). The taxonomy of many groups of plant pathogenic fungi has in the past been based on host association (Crous et al. 2013, Groenewald et al. 2013). Although some species of Diaporthe are host specific, a great number have been noted to occur on more than one host (Brayford 1990, Rehner & Uecker 1994, Farr et al. 2002).

Key words Diaporthales Diaporthe Multi-Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) Phomopsis systematics Abstract Diaporthe (Phomopsis) species have often been reported as plant pathogens, non-pathogenic endo- phytes or saprobes, commonly isolated from a wide range of hosts. The primary aim of the present study was to resolve the taxonomy and phylogeny of a large collection of Diaporthe species occurring on diverse hosts, either as pathogens, saprobes, or as harmless endophytes. In the present study we investigated 243 isolates using multi- locus DNA sequence data. Analyses of the rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS1, 5.8S, ITS2) region, and partial translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1), beta-tubulin (TUB), histone H3 (HIS) and calmodulin (CAL) genes resolved 95 clades. Fifteen new species are described, namely Diaporthe arengae, D. brasiliensis, D. endophytica, D. hongkongensis, D. inconspicua, D. infecunda, D. mayteni, D. neoarctii, D. oxe, D. paranensis, D. pseudomangi- ferae, D. pseudophoenicicola, D. raonikayaporum, D. schini and D. terebinthifolii. A further 14 new combinations are introduced in Diaporthe, and D. anacardii is epitypified. Although species of Diaporthe have in the past chiefly been distinguished based on host association, results of this study confirm several taxa to have wide host ranges, suggesting that they move freely among hosts, frequently co-colonising diseased or dead tissue. In contrast, some plant pathogenic and endophytic taxa appear to be strictly host specific. Given this diverse ecological behaviour among members of Diaporthe, future species descriptions lacking molecular data (at least ITS and HIS or TUB) should be strongly discouraged.

INTRODUCTION

Species of Diaporthe and their Phomopsis asexual states have broad host ranges and are widely distributed, occurring as plant pathogens, endophytes or saprobes, but also as pathogens of humans and other mammals (Webber&Gibbs1984,Carroll1986,Boddy&Griffith1989,Rehner&Uecker1994,Garcia-Reyneetal.2011,Udayangaetal.2011).Diaporthespp.areresponsible for diseases on a wide range of plants hosts, some of which are economically important worldwide, causing root and fruit rots, dieback, cankers, leaf spots, blights, decay and wilt(Uecker1988,Mostertetal.2001a,vanRensburgetal.2006,Santosetal.2011,Thompsonetal.2011).Currently,MycoBank (accessedSept.2012) listsmore than1 000 names in the genus Phomopsis, while Diaporthe contains morethan860names.Inthepastspecieshavechieflybeendescribedundertheassumptiontheyarehost-specific,leadingto a proliferation of names based on the hosts from which they were isolated (Uecker 1988).However, subsequent studieshave found that many species are able to colonise diverse hosts as opportunists, and that several different species could even co-occuronthesamehostorlesion(Brayford1990,Rehner&Uecker1994,Mostertetal.2001a,Farretal.2002,Crous&Groenewald2005).Curiously,somespeciesofDiaporthe can be either pathogenic or harmless endophytes depending on the

(1933)totheconclusionthathost-associationwasnot infor-mative enough in Diaporthe, thereby reducing the number of speciesfrom650toonly70inthegenus.However,thisrevisionwas based strictly on morphological characters of the Diaporthe sexual state, and connections to the Phomopsis asexual states (priortomolecularanalyses)hadbeenidentifiedonlyin20%ofthespecies(Wehmeyer1933).Although the classificationofDiaporthe has been on-going, speciesarepresentlybeingredefinedbasedonacombina-tion of morphological, cultural, phytopathological, mating type andDNAsequencedata(Rehner&Uecker1994,Zhangetal.1998,Mostertetal.2001a, Farretal.2002,Santosetal.2010).However,evenwhenusingacombinationofmorphologicalandmolecular data, the delimitation of species within the genus Diaportheonlyprovedsatisfactoryoncemulti-geneDNAse-quencedataweregenerated (Castlebury&Mengistu2006,vanRensburgetal.2006,Santosetal.2010,Udayangaetal.2012),sincethisaddsvaluableinformationintheresolutionofcomplexevolutionary relationships.Theaimsof thepresentstudywerethusto:1)provideamulti-genephylogenyforthegenus Diaporthebasedonalargesetofwell-identifiedculturesdepositedintheCBSculturecollection;2)toidentifypotentialisolatesforepitypification,therebyfixingtheapplicationofpre- viouslyestablishednames;3)tolinkDiaporthe names to their Phomopsis asexual states;and4) to identifyacollectionofmostly sterile endophytic Diaporthe strains isolated from several medicinalhostsinBrazil.

DISCUSSION

Amajoraimofthepresentstudywastoresolvethetaxonomyof Diaporthe species occurring on diverse hosts, either as pathogens, saprobes, or as harmless endophytes.To de-limitate these taxa, nine genes were screened, from which the bestfivewereselectedtoconductamulti-genephylogeneticanalysis(ITS,TEF1,ACT,HISandCAL).Diaporthe represents a highly complex genus containing numerous cryptic species, several of which are newly described in the present study, while others remain unclear, awaiting fresh collections and type studies.ManyDiaporthe species that are morphologically similar proved to be genetically distinct, and several isolates thatwereformerlyidentifiedbasedontheirhost,wereshowntorepresentdifferenttaxa.Although the genera Diaporthe and Phomopsis have received much taxonomic attention, few phylogenetic studies have thus far been conducted, and hence the taxonomy of this group is stillproblematic.Duetothelackofreferencestrains,andthefactthatfewgenelociotherthanITShaveinthepastbeenusedforDNAanalysis,mostoftheconclusionsreachedthusfar have been incorrect, meaning that published literature will havetobeinterpretedwithcare.Inthisstudywestudied15endophyticDiaporthe species from Brazil.Threewere not identified to species level, twowereidentifiedasD. novem and D. phaseolorum, while a further 10weredescribedasnew.Highgeneticdiversitywasfoundamongsttheanalysedisolatesfrommedicinalplants.Speciesof Diaporthe are commonly isolated as endophytes from sev-eralhostsintemperateandtropicalregions(Bussabanetal.2001,Muralietal.2006,Rossmanetal.2007,Botella&Diez2011,González&Tello2011).Skaltsasetal.(2011)isolated108Diaporthe isolates from asymptomatic leaves and bark of threedifferent hosts (Hevea brasiliensis, H. guianensis and Micandra spp.) fromCameroon,Mexico andPeru.Usingamultigene approach, the authors found more than 40 phylo-genetic species, of which several appeared to represent novel taxa(Skaltsasetal.2011).DespitemembersofDiaporthe commonly being described as phytopathogenic, an increasing number of reports link this genus to endophytic studies, focusing on its potential as a producerofenzymesandnovelsecondarymetabolites,withantibiotic, fungicideandanticanceractivity (Dai et al. 2005,Elsaesseretal.2005,Linetal.2005,Silvaetal.2005,Wuetal.2008,Kumaran&Hur2009,Weber2009,Vesterlundetal.2011).TheecologyofspeciesofDiaporthe remains poorly understood, as some endophytes isolated from the medicinal plant Maytenus ilicifoliawereidentifiedasD. phaseolorum(clade4)andD. novem (clade22),respectivelyknowaspathogenofsoybean(Santosetal.2011)andAspalathus linearis (vanRensburgetal.2006).Diaporthe novem is also reported from hosts such as Hydran­gea macrophylla (Santosetal.2010),Helianthus annuus and Vitis vinifera (Santosetal.2011).Thesereportsagreewiththepogostickhypothesis,postulatingthathost-specificfungalplantpathogensfrequentlyexhibittheabilitytocolonisenon-hosttis-sue,enablingthemtodispersefurther,inanattempttofindthehostonwhichtheyarepathogenic(Crous&Groenewald2005).ThetaxonomyofDiaporthe(incl.Phomopsis)hastraditionallybeen based on host association, with species being described ontheassumptionthattheyarehost-specific.Inthepresentstudy the taxonomy of all Diaporthe isolates deposited in the CBS culture collection over time were reviewed, based on this assumption.The employment of this criterion, has ledto an exponential growth in the number of taxa described in Diaporthe thus far (Uecker 1988).However, in spite of the

apparent synonymies outlined in this study, there was evidence for a huge proliferation of cryptic taxa that were formerly over-looked based on a morphological approach in the absence of molecular data.Speciesdelimitation inDiaporthe based on morphological characters is challenging, as most taxa in culture donotproduceallsporestatesoftheasexual(alpha,betaandgammaconidia)orthesexualmorph.Thedescriptionofnoveltaxa in Diaportheintheabsenceofmoleculardata(atleastITSandHISorTUB;seediscussioninnextsection)shouldthusbestronglydiscouragedinthefuture.Inconclusionthus,itseemsthatinspiteofthefactthatthesetaxareadilycoloniseorco-colonisenon-hosts(seealsoRehner&Uecker1994,Mostertetal.2001a,Farretal.2002,Diogoetal.2010),thereisstillamultitudeofundescribedtaxaawaitingfurtherstudyinthiscomplex.Itisthushopedthatthephylo-genetic backbone generated here provides a stable platform to enable future studies by others interested in the biology of Diaporthe.

Phylogenetic species recognition by genealogical concordance Tayloretal.(2000)developedtheGenealogicalConcordancePhylogeneticSpeciesRecognition(GCPSR)concepttodefinethe limits of sexual species, using the phylogenetic concor-danceofmultipleunlinkedgenes.This concept hasprovedgreatlyusefulinfungi,becauseitismorefinelydiscriminatingthan other species concepts, as several species are unable to be crossed, or cannot be recognised due to the lack of distin-guishingmorphologicalcharactersorsterility(Reynolds1993,Tayloretal.2000,Caietal.2011).Theadoptionofgenealogicalconcordance for species recognition in Diaporthe enabled us to distinguish species that were otherwise not possible to identify duetoeithersterility,orthelossofspecificcharacterstates.For instance, D. viticola and D. australafricana are two closely relatedspecies (clades50and49, respectively)associatedwithgrapevines.Theyaremorphologicallysimilar,butoccurondifferentcontinents(vanNiekerketal.2005).Thesespecieshave probably accumulated genetic differences due to their geographicalisolation.SeveralcrypticspecieswererecentlydescribedinothergenerausingtheGCPSRcriterion,someof which are consistent with allopatric divergence, because these species occupy non-overlapping areas separated by geographicbarriers,e.g.inCladosporium(Benschetal.2012),Colletotrichum(Dammetal.2012a,b),Harknessia(Crousetal.2012),Ilyonectria(Cabraletal.2012a,b)andPhyllosticta (Glienkeetal.2011), tonamebuta few.UsingtheGCPSRconceptitispossibletodefinethegeneticvariationobservedinsomespecies,butstillinsufficienttoestablishthemasdis-tinctspecies,sincegeneticflowstilloccursbetweenthem.Forexample,isolatesofclades79–90clustereddifferentlybasedon analyses of the different genes, probably because of recent geneflowamongthem.Wehavecomparedthelocationandmonophylyofthestrainsineach clade in the phylogenetic tree of the combined alignment (Fig.1)tothosephylogenetictreesobtainedfromtheindividualloci to determine the species boundaries and species resolu-tion.ThefivelociselectedfortheBayesianphylogenyhaveasimilarresolutionforspeciesdiscrimination,rangingfromTEF1resolving72outofthe95species,toHISandTUBresolving84ofthe95species.TheITSregion,whichisoftenconsideredtobelessthanopti-mal for closely related species, was not much better or worse (resolving75ofthe95species)thantheotherincludedloci.However,given the recentacceptanceof the ITS regionasofficialfungalbarcode(Schochetal.2012)anditsintermedi-ate resolving power in the present study, this locus should not

bediscardedfromfuturestudies.Also,TEF1,whichhasinthepast been used as additional locus for phylogenetic studies of Diaporthe,performedtheworstinthisstudy(resolving72ofthe95species),althoughthiswasnotmuchworsethanITSandCAL(resolving75and74ofthe95species,respectively).TheHISandTUBregionsappeartohavethebestresolutionforspe-cies discrimination in the present study and therefore are good candidatesassecondarymarkerstothecommonlyusedITSregion.SimilarresultswerealsoreportedforITS,CAL,TEF1andTUBbyUdayangaetal.(2012),whosuggestedthatTUBbe considered as secondary phylogenetic marker for Diaporthe.

The importance of epitypification in Diaporthe Thebestoptiontosupplementpoortypematerial isviaepi-typification(Cannonetal.2012).ToemploytheGCPSRconceptinfungi,DNAismostlyextractedfrompoorlypreserved,ancientherbariumspecimenswithdifficulty,andinmanycasesitonlyresultsinshortsequencesoftheITSregion(Quaedvliegetal.2011,Cheewangkoonetal.2012).Therefore,epitypificationof living material, and its preservation and deposit in publically available collections and databases, are important steps to provide a stable platform to enable others to test future hy-potheses.Althoughitisnotaprerequisite,itisstronglyrecom-mended that the chosen epitype should originate from the same geographical region and host, and have morphological, cultural and pathological characteristics similar to those described in theoriginalpublication(seeDammetal.2012a,b,Cannonetal.2012,Weiretal.2012).Despitethefactthatcloseto2000speciesofDiaporthe(incl.Phomopsis)havebeendescribedinliterature,hardlyanyex-type strains areavailable today, themajority ofwhichwereincludedinthepresentstudy.Duetothelackofex-typestrains,the taxonomy of several species continue to be unresolved, someofwhichareimportantplantpathogens.Aseriouseffortwill thus be called for to recollect and redescribe all these old names.Analternativeapproachwouldbetosimplystartover,ensuring that all newly described names are based not only on morphology,butalsosupplementedbyDNAbarcodes.How-ever,aslongasfungalnomenclatureisgovernedbytheICN,thisseemsunobtainable.Eventually though,allmycologistswill realise that a stable fungal nomenclature must incorporate DNAdata,andthatthisisonlyachievableifmycologyfollowsacodeofnomenclaturethatincorporatesthisrequirement.
