Abstract
Cladosporium is a ubiquitous fungal genus with a wide ecological distribution and host range, which plays different roles as pathogen, endophyte and saprobe.
The objective of this study was to characterize Cladosporium species isolated from sweet cherry (Prunus avium) with leaf spot symptoms, using morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses based on the internal transcribed spacers (ITS), partial actin (act) and translation elongation factor-1α (tef1) gene regions.
A total of six species, C. anthropophilum, C. asperulatum, C. cladosporioides, C. ramotenellum, C. rectoides and C. tenuissimum, were identified including five new host records except for C. cladosporioides. The present study enhances the knowledge of fungal species associated with sweet cherry.
