Molecular and morphological characterization of four new Phyllosticta species (Botryosphaeriales, Phyllostictaceae): Genomic insights into evolutionary dynamics and metabolic adaptation

The genus Phyllosticta comprises diverse plant-associated fungi, many of which are significant pathogens or endophytes with complex taxonomic histories. Traditional classification, reliant on morphology and host associations, has long been challenged by overlapping traits, necessitating integrative...
