Re-evaluation of <i> Sympoventuriaceae</i>

Sympoventuriaceae ( Venturiales , Dothideomycetes ) comprises genera including saprophytes, endophytes, plant pathogens, as well important animal or human opportunistic pathogens with diverse ecologies and wide geographical distributions. Although the taxonomy of has been studied, generic boundaries within family remain poorly resolved due to lack type materials molecular data. To address this issue establish a more stable reliable classification system in we performed multilocus phylogenetic analyses using sequence data seven genes (SSU, ITS, LSU, act1 tub2 tef1 rpb2 increased taxon sampling morphological analysis. The combined detailed studies 143 taxa 22 family, one new genus, eight species, five combinations name. Finally, further investigated evolutionary history by reconstructing patterns lifestyle diversification, indicating ancestral state be saprophytic, transitions endophytic, pathogens.
