Three new Dioszegia species (Bulleribasidiaceae, Tremellales) discovered in the phylloplane in China.

ABSTRACT: The genus Dioszegia is comprised of anamorphic basidiomycetous yeasts and is classified in the family Bulleribasidiaceae of the order Tremellales. Currently, 24 species have been described and accepted as members of the genus, although its diversity and global distribution have not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, yeasts were isolated from plant leaves collected in the Guizhou and Henan Provinces of China and identified through a combination of morphological and molecular methods. Phylogenetic analyses of the combined ITS and LSU sequences coupled with morphological studies revealed three novel species, D.guizhouensissp. nov., D.foliicolasp. nov., and D.aurantiasp. nov., proposed here. Additionally, our phylogenetic analyses sugg
