Description

Ciliochorella Syd., in Sydow & Mitter, Annls mycol. 33(1/2): 62 (1935)

Type species.

Ciliochorella mangiferae Syd., Annls Mycol. 33(1/2): 63 (1935). Fungal Names: FN 270484.

Notes.

Ciliochorella is an asexually typified genus. Most species of this genus are saprophytic with the exception of Ciliochorella castaneae Munjal. The conidiomata of Ciliochorella species are generally round, semi-immersed, and longitudinally lenticular. A prominent feature observed during the early stage of germination is apical and basal cells of conidia-produced germ tubes, and a vacuolated state of the protoplasm (Masilamani and Muthumary 1994). Conidiophores arise from the thin-walled, and are almost colorless cells of the basal or basal and parietal tissue, mostly reduced to conidiogenous cells. Occasionally, they are sparsely septate, branched or unbranched, colorless, smooth, invested in mucus (Sutton 1980; Nag Raj 1993). Conidiogenous cells are discrete, ampulliform, or conical with a long neck, colorless, and smooth. Conidia are cylindrical, straight, or slightly curved with septate pale brown middle cells and colorless end cells with appendages at one or both ends (Lee et al. 2006; Allegrucci et al. 2011; Tangthirasunun et al. 2015; Hyde et al. 2016; Wijayawardene et al. 2016; Liu et al. 2019a).

There are four Ciliochorella species for which molecular data is available on the NCBI repository (i.e. C. castaneae; C. dipterocarpi Samaradiwakara, Lumyong & K.D. Hyde; C. mangiferae and C. phanericola Norph., T.C. Wen & K.D. Hyde). Ciliochorella mangiferae is the earliest recorded species and described by Sydow and Mitter (1935) as the type species of this genus. Tangthirasunun et al. (2015) discovered a new record of C. mangiferae in Thailand and provided some its molecular data for this species. The first discovery of C. castaneae was in India (Nag Raj 1993), but Endo et al. (2008) added a new record for this species in Japan and also added molecular data. Samaradiwakara et al. (2023) discovered C. dipterocarpi and analyzed the species molecularly. For the other species of this genus, there is still no molecular data available, and comprise C. splendida Nag Raj & R.F. Castañeda and C. buxifoliae Allegr., Ellegr. & Aramb (Nag Raj 1993; Allegrucci et al. 2011). The morphological characteristics of all Ciliochorella species are provided in Table 2.
