Abstract

Nigrospora species are found in various substrates as saprobes and are associated with plants as pathogens and endophytes. In this study, we describe N. solani from healthy Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme leaves in an organic farming system in Brazil. Based on morphological data and multi-locus phylogeny using internal transcribed spacer, beta-tubulin, and translation elongation factor 1, N. solani can be recognized as a new species for further research. This anamorphic species is characterized by conidiogenous cells discrete, globose, subglobose, and or ampulliform, solitary, initially hyaline becoming pale brown with age and by conidia solitary, globose to subglobose, black, smooth, and aseptate.
