Ascospores (20-)22–23(−26) × (8-)9–10(−11) μm, biseriate
to obliquely uniseriate and partially overlapping, ellipsoid tapering towards subacutely rounded ends, pale brown, 1-septate, constricted at the septum, smooth (Fig. 28f) (description referred to Phillips et al. 2008). Anamorph: Thyrostroma negundinis (Phillips et al. 2008). Material examined: USA, North Dakota, on branches of Symphoricarpos occidentalis Hook. (NY, holotype); Colorado, San Juan Co, c. 0.5 mile up Engineer Mountain Trail from turnoff at mile 52.5, Hwy 550, dead twigs of Symphoricarpos rotundifolius A. Gray, 24 Jun. 2004, A.W. Ramaley 0410 (BPI 871823, epitype). Notes Morphology Dothidotthia was formally established to accommodate Pseudotthia symphoricarpi (Montagnellaceae, Dothideales) (von Höhnel 1918a). Many mycologists considered Dothidotthia closely related to a genus of Venturiaceae such as Dibotryon by Petrak (1927), or Gibbera by von Arx and Müller (1954) and Müller and von Arx (1962). Dothidotthia https://www.selleckchem.com/products/fosbretabulin-disodium-combretastatin-a-4-phosphate-disodium-ca4p-disodium.html had been treated as a synonym of Gibbera (von Arx 1954; Müller and
von Arx 1962), which was followed by Shoemaker (1963) and Eriksson and Hawksworth (1987). Based on the coelomycetous anamorphic stage and peridium structure, shape of asci, as well as morphology of pseudoparaphyses, Barr (1987b, 1989b) retrieved Dothidotthia, and considered it closely related to Botryosphaeria (Botryosphaeriaceae). Currently, 11 species are included within Dothidotthia (http://www.mycobank.org, 01–2011). Phylogenetic study Based on a multi-gene phylogenetic analysis, Dothidotthia formed a separate familial clade (Phillips et al. 2008). learn more Thus Dothidotthiaceae was introduced to accommodate it (Phillips et al. 2008). Concluding remarks By comparing the morphological characters and phylogenetic dendrograms by Phillips et al. (2008) and de Gruyter et al. (2009), Dothidotthia seems closely related to Didymellaceae, but Dothidotthiaceae should still be treated as a separate family. Dubitatio Speg., Anal. Soc. cient.
