Lecanosticta is a genus of fungi in the family Mycosphaerellaceae consisting of ten species.[2][3]
Species
[edit]There are ten species in this genus:[4]
- Lecanosticta acicola (Thum.) Syd. (1924)
- Lecanosticta brevispora Quaedvl. & Crous (2012)
- Lecanosticta gaubae (Petr.) Arx & Constant. (1983)
- Lecanosticta gloeospora H.C Evans (1984)
- Lecanosticta guatemalensis Quaedvl. & Crous (2012)
- Lecanosticta jani van der Nest, M.J Wingf. & I. Barnes (2019)
- Lecanosticta longispora Marm. (2000)
- Lecanosticta pharomachri van der Nest, M.J Wingf. & I. Barnes (2019)
- Lecanosticta tecunumanii van der Nest, M.J Wingf. & I. Barnes (2019)
- Lecanosticta variabilis van der Nest, M.J Wingf. & I. Barnes (2019)
Pathogenic species
[edit]Lecanosticta acicola is a widespread plant pathogen of over 50 species of pine (Pinus spp.) globally, causing a disease known as brown spot needle blight.[5][6] The disease infects pine needles and causes them to prematurely drop, resulting in reduced growth and yield losses.[5]
In 2022, Lecanosticta pharomachri was implicated as the cause of needle disease outbreaks in Colombian planted forests.[7]
