Sphaerophragmium, a new holomorph for Uredo dalbergiae? and a common pathogen of Shisham tree in Pakistan.

Dalbergia sissoo, known as shisham or tali in Pakistan, is renowned for its high wood quality. It is a very important raw material for a variety of wood-based industries, especially furniture and housing. Leaves of this economically important tree in Pakistan have variously been found infected with Urediniospores of an anamorphic rust fungus named as Uredo dalbergiae. In present studies, this pathogen is first time described using molecular tools. In phylogenetic tree, it was found clustering with Sphaerophragmium sp. This position in phylogenetic tree indicates that the holomorph of studied taxon must belong to genus Sphaerophragmium. For identification of pathogen at specific level as well as confirmation of its holomorph, more sampling and data is required which is not yet available on any database. However, it seems that both morphological and molecular tools are necessary for correct identification of plant pathogens.
