New Species, New Record, and Antagonistic Potential of <i>Torula</i> (<i>Torulaceae</i>, <i>Pleosporales</i>) from Jilin Province, China.

ABSTRACT: During a survey of ascomycetous fungi associated with plant litter and submerged wood in Jilin Province, China, two hyphomycetous fungi were discovered. Morphological examination and molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that these isolates represent two species within the genus Torula, which are herein described as Torula changchunensis sp. nov. and a new host record of T. mackenziei. Detailed morphological characteristics are provided, and the phylogenetic relationships of the new species are also discussed. The new species differs from T. chinensis and T. phytolaccae by having smaller conidiogenous cells, smaller conidia, and fewer septa. Preliminary assessments were conducted on T. changchunensis and T. mackenziei to evaluate their an
