Abstract
Botryosphaeria viticola sp. nov., isolated from pruned canes of Vitis vinifera in NE Spain, is described and illustrated. Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS and EF1-α sequences and morphological characters of both anamorph and teleomorph confirmed this taxon to be included within the group of Botryosphaeria species with Dothiorella anamorphs. It is related most closely to B. sarmentorum and B. iberica from which it differs in morphological characters of the teleomorph and DNA sequences.
This work was financed by the Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA) under project RTA03-058-C2-1 (Spain) and by the European Regional Development Fund and Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia under project POCTI/AGR/56140/2004 (Portugal). Soledad Martos was supported by a grant from DURSI-AGAUR (Regional Government of Catalonia, Spain). We thank these viticulturists and wine producers for letting us survey their vineyards (Spain): Miguel Torres, Ca n’Estella, Joaquim Aguiló, Raventós i Blanc and Rosend Esteve.
