A review of bambusicolous Ascomycota in China with an emphasis on species richness in southwest China

More Information
  • Bamboos not only provide socio-economic benefits to communities within the region, but also provide ecosystem services such as soil-water conservation, stabilization of sandy soils and restoration of soil nutrients. Bambusicolous ascomycetes refer to ascomycetous fungi living on any substrate of bamboo. As the largest group of fungi on bamboo, they play a significant ecological value in species composition and the structure of the fungal community, circulation of materials and energy flow of nutritional elements. In an effort to document the bambusicolous Ascomycota found in China, we assessed all major sources of academic literature, journal papers, and the USDA database (https://nt.ars-grin.gov/fungaldatabases/fungushost/fungushost.cfm) for reports of these fungi from China. As a result, we produced a systematic and comprehensive checklist of bambusicolous Ascomycota in China. Current names of fungi, bamboo host name, bamboo substrate, details of collected localities, references and latest classification for every bambusicolous ascomycete in China are also provided. In addition, we focused on the species richness of bambusicolous Ascomycota in China with an emphasis on southwest China.

Abstract: Bamboos not only provide socio-economic benefits to communities within the region, but also provide ecosystem services such as soil-water conservation, stabilization of sandy soils and restoration of soil nutrients. Bambusicolous ascomycetes refer to ascomycetous fungi living on any substrate of bamboo. As the largest group of fungi on bamboo, they play a significant ecological value in species composition and the structure of the fungal community, circulation of materials and energy flow of nutritional elements. In an effort to document the bambusicolous Ascomycota found in China, we assessed all major sources of academic literature, journal papers, and the USDA database (https://nt.ars-grin.gov/fungaldatabases/fungushost/fungushost.cfm) for reports of these fungi from China. As a result, we produced a systematic and comprehensive checklist of bambusicolous Ascomycota in China. Current names of fungi, bamboo host name, bamboo substrate, details of collected localities, references and latest classification for every bambusicolous ascomycete in China are also provided. In addition, we focused on the species richness of bambusicolous Ascomycota in China with an emphasis on southwest China.

    • Bamboo is placed within the subfamily Bambusoideae under Poaceae as a kind of large grass. Bamboo has a wide natural distribution, occurring from approximately 46° N latitude to 47° S latitude and from sea level to all the way up to 4,300 meters above sea level. According to estimations, approximately 1,500 bamboo species in 120 genera have been discovered around the world[1], and 762 bamboo species in 44 genera, have been reported in China[1]. Moreover, southwest China is recognized as the richest area of bamboo species in China, particularly Yunnan Province (accounting for 50% of all bamboo species diversity in China)[2]. Except Heilongjiang Province, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Xinjiang Autonomous Region, bamboo is widely distributed across China[3]. Bamboo distribution in China is divided into five areas viz. north China, southeast China, south China, southwest China, and a special area (Qiong-Dian tropical bamboo area containing northern and middle parts of Hainan Province and southern and western parts of Yunnan Province)[3].

      Due to the differences of climate, soil and terrain, in addition to biological characteristics of bamboo species, the distribution of bamboo in China presents obvious zonality and regionality[3]. The bamboo forests in north China occur in around 30°–37° N latitude, with 12–17 °C of mean annual temperature, −4–4 °C average temperature in January and 500–1,200 mm of annual precipitation[3]. Whereas, the bamboo forests in southeast China are placed in the environment of approximately 25°–30° N latitude, 15–20 °C mean annual temperature, 4–8 °C average temperature in January and 1,200–1,800 mm of annual precipitation[3]. The bamboo forests in south China and southwest China occur below 25° N latitude, 20–22 °C mean annual temperature, above 8 °C average temperature in January and more than 1,800 mm of annual precipitation[3]. Qiong-Dian tropical bamboo area has extremely rich hydrothermal resources, which causes unique bamboo species composition[3]. It is mainly characterized by having a variety of climbing clustered bamboos.

      These five bamboo areas feature some differences across the common bamboo genera. Bamboo genera such as Bashania, Fargesia, Phyllostachys, Pleioblastus, Sasa and Semiarundinaria are common across north China. Bambusa, Indocalamus, Indosasa, Phyllostachys, Pleioblastus, Neosinocalamus and Semiarundinaria are common in southeast China. Bambusa, Dendrocalamopsis and Sinobambusa are common in south China. Cephalostachyum, Dendrocalamus, Gigantochloa and Thyrsostachys are common in southwest China. Bambusa, Dinochloa and Schizostachyum are common in the Qiong-Dian tropical bamboo area.

      Bamboo can be used in more than 1,500 traditional ways[4], and as food (including bamboo vinegar), building materials, and musical instruments. Total area of bamboo forest is around 6.73 × 106 hm2 in China, as reported by the Chinese National Forestry and Grassland Administration[5]. Recently, the total output value of the Chinese bamboo industry exceeded 245 billion Chinese Yuan in 2018. Besides great economic value, bamboo plays an important role in ecology. Every hectare of bamboo forest can store 1,000 tons of water. The annual carbon accumulation of Moso bamboo forest was reported to be 12.749 t hm2 and is 1.46 times that of fast-growing Chinese fir trees[6].

      Bamboo is an environmentally friendly plant and plays an important role in sustainable development and conservation. As a commercial plant, it is a valuable renewable resource not only in its natural habitats, but also wherever it is cultivated throughout the world.

    • Hino[7] firstly used the term 'bambusicolous' to describe fungi found on bamboo, which means 'organism living on bamboo'. In 2002, Hyde et al.[8] offered a specific definition of bambusicolous fungi, as fungi that grow on any bamboo substrates, including leaves, culms, branches, sheathes, flowers, rhizomes and roots. Therefore, bambusicolous ascomycetes refer to the ascomycetes in bambusicolous fungi. Bambusicolous Ascomycota not only includes ascomycetous taxa with sexual morphs, but also some coelomycetes and hyphomycetes as asexual morphs.

      Léveillé first worked on fungi associated with bamboo and described Dothidea goudotii Lév (current name: Roumegueria goudotii (Lév.) Sacc. ex Clem. & Shear) from leaves of Chusquea sp. and Sphaeria bambusae Lév (current name: Anthostomella bambusae (Lév.) Sacc.) from culms of Bambusa bambos (L.) Voss. ex Vilm. as the first records on bamboo in the world[9]. In the following year, Léveillé[10] reported another two novel bambusicolous ascomycetes viz. Asterina microscopica Lev. and Sphaeria hypoxantha Lev. (current name: Eutypa hypoxantha (Lév.) Starbäck).

      In the last 200 years, nearly 1150 bambusicolous Ascomycota have been introduced, mostly from Asia[11], and there are three distinct periods where the number of bambusicolous ascomycetes increased sharply. From 1901 to 1920, over 80 new ascomycetes were discovered per decade; from 1951 to 1990, over 120 new ascomycetes were introduced per decade; and from 2011 to 2017, over 150 new ascomycetes were reported in seven years[11]. From 2017 to 2021, there were over 50 new bambusicolous ascomycetes introduced[1251]. Most novel species are reported from China and Thailand and feature high diversity. There is no doubt that the science of bambusicolous ascomycetes developed substantially after 2010.

      The history of bambusicolous Ascomycota in China can be recognised from the 1930s. In 1932, Oedocephalum glomerulosum var. cantonense Teng (current name: O. glomerulosum (Bull.) Sacc.) is the first reported species of bambusicolous fungus from China and also the first recorded bambusicolous ascomycete in China[52]. Tai[52] compiled all species of bambusicolous fungi recorded before 1979 in China. Kuai[53] listed 190 pathogenic bambusicolous fungi from mainland China and Taiwan. Eriksson & Yue[54] gave a list of 587 bambusicolous pyrenomycetes, of which 25 taxa were reported from China. Zhang & Wang[55] provided a checklist of 104 bambusicolous taxa collected from China. Zhou et al.[56] reviewed the diversity and resources of bambusicolous fungi in China. Subsequently, there have been no comprehensive studies on Chinese bambusicolous fungi, let alone bambusicolous Ascomycota in southwest China.

    • There is a lack of information on the disease records and identification of bambusicolous pathogenic fungi which can impact the development of the bamboo industry and result in numerous ecological issues. Although bambusicolous ascomycetous pathogens can cause economic and ecological loss, there are many pathogenic Ascomycota which have potential medicinal value. Shiraia bambusicola Henn. is well known as a metabolite, hypocrellin[57] has promising applications in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for anticancer treatment[58]. From Rubroshiraia bambusae, another medicinal ascomycete, Hypocrellin A and B are extracted in large amounts[17]. However, the fungus was originally mistakenly recognized as Shiraia bambusicola in China because of its high similarity in ascostromatal morphology. However, through phylogeny and fungal morphological observation, Dai et al.[17] introduced Rubroshiraia to accommodate Rubroshiraia bambusae. Lenormandins, a newly discovered secondary metabolite, is regarded as further representative of azaphilone pigment, has been found from Hypoxylon spp., which is also a promising drug lead[59].

      Bambusicolous Ascomycota as saprobes, decompose dead bamboo plants and promote nutrient in forest ecosystems. As endophytes, bambusicolous Ascomycota affects bamboo development, growth and ultimately the quality and quantity of compounds harvested from bamboo[60]. Bambusicolous Ascomycota accounts for approximately 60% of all bamboo fungi, which indicates that it has great contributions in species composition and the structure of fungal communities[61].

      Bambusicolous Ascomycota indirectly affects economic development. Through biocontrol of bambusicolous pathogens, they can help to reduce losses in the bamboo industry, in addition, maintain the quantity of the bamboo population and ecological functions of bamboo forest.

    • During our investigation, most bambusicolous Ascomycota in China are saprobes and pathogens are less reported, which indicates that they are not likely to be host-specific because the latter is mostly related to plant pathogens[62]. Zhou et al.[56] suggested that host specificity for bambusicolous Ascomycota was quite complicated with some of the fungi having host specificity at the family or subfamily level. In our investigation of bambusicolous Ascomycota in China, we observed that host specificity of bambusicolous Ascomycota is rather ambiguous under family or the subfamily level, and some of these species need to be confirmed when we take other hosts into consideration.

      Currently, many bambusicolous Ascomycota cannot be regarded as tissue-specific. Most bambusicolous Ascomycota are only reported on bamboo culms and leaves. Whereas fungi on other bamboo substrates such as fruits, inflorescences, shoots and sheaths are less reported. To date, bambusicolous pathogens such as Phyllachora spp. are only confined to bamboo leaves[8].

    • To date, bambusicolous Ascomycota is distributed in two Chinese province-level municipalities (Beijing and Shanghai), one autonomous region (Inner Mongolia), one special administrative region (Hong Kong) and 23 provinces, viz. Anhui, Fujian, Gansu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hainan, Hebei, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Jilin, Liaoning, Qinghai, Shaanxi, Shandong, Shanxi Sichuan, Taiwan, Yunnan and Zhejiang (Table 1). Most bambusicolous Ascomycota in China are known from Taiwan with 144 species, followed by Hong Kong with 139 species, Yunnan with 133 species, Guangdong with 53 species, Zhejiang with 37 species, Jiangsu with 36 species and Sichuan with 35 species. Since the year 2000, research on bambusicolous Ascomycota has increased sharply, particularly in Guangdong and Yunnan provinces.

    • In the present study, we provide a systematic checklist of bambusicolous Ascomycota in China based on literature dating back ~100 years to present. In addition, we have provided an in-depth view of the species richness of bambusicolous Ascomycota in China with an emphasis on southwest China, as well as investigating the distribution of these fungi across various genera of bamboo. Furthermore, the bamboo genera effect on bambusicolous Ascomycota in China with an emphasis on southwest China is discussed here.

    • Species and documents of bambusicolous Ascomycota in China up to 1979 from 'Sylloge Fungorum Sinicorum', were compiled by Tai[52]. The records of bambusicolous Ascomycota up to 2,000 in Hong Kong are known from Lu et al.[63]. Kuai[53] listed 190 bambusicolous pathogens in mainland China and Taiwan. Our checklist of bambusicolous Ascomycota in China is largely based on articles published in journals, books and online resources (USDA database; https://nt.ars-grin.gov/fungaldatabases/fungushost/fungushost.cfm).

      Our checklist (Table 1) includes fungal names, host names, substrates, province-wide distribution details, classification and references. The fungal classification followed is 'the outline of fungi and fungi-like taxa'[64,65]. The fungal scientific names listed in this study have followed the current names in Species Fungorum[66]. The host names followed the current scientific names in The Plant List (www.theplantlist.org). Fungal species names are listed in alphabetical order.

    • Since the beginning of the 20th century, bambusicolous Ascomycota has been increasingly discovered in China. According to Zhou et al.[56], who did a comprehensive study of bambusicolous Ascomycota, there were 80 bambusicolous ascomycetes associated with six bamboo genera in China. Over the last two decades, more than 400 species have been discovered in this region.

      Our updated checklist now accommodates 512 bambusicolous ascomycete taxa, associated with 16 bamboo genera, which are distributed in 50 orders, 116 families and 279 genera (including 45 genera incertae sedis), representing more than 1/3 of the known bambusicolous Ascomycota in the world. Bambusicolous Ascomycota in China is mostly distributed in Dothideomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, Lecanoromycetes, Leotiomycetes, Orbiliomycetes, Pezizomycetes and Sordariomycetes. The inventories of these fungi (Figs 1 & 2) showed that Dothideomycetes and Sordariomycetes are the largest fungal groups discovered in China. Apiospora, Hypoxylon, Phyllachora and Roussoella are most abundant genera in China (Fig. 3), while Apiospora, Phyllachora, Roussoella and Sporidesmium are highly diverse (Fig. 4).

      Bambusicolous Ascomycota in southwest China comprises 174 taxa, distributed in 31 orders, 59 families, and 97 genera (including five genera incertae sedis). In southwest China, bambusicolous Ascomycota is mostly comprised of Dothideomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, Lecanoromycetes, Leotiomycetes and Sordariomycetes (Figs 5 & 6). The most abundant genera included Apiospora, Arthrinium, Astrosphaeriella, Collodiscula, Hypoxylon, Occultibambusa, Phyllachora, Sporidesmium and Roussoella (more than four records), of which Apiospora, Phyllachora and Roussoella were dominant (more than 10 records). The dominance of these three genera in southwest China concurred with the overall dominance in China.

      Bambusicolous Ascomycota in Yunnan province of China, comprises 133 taxa distributed in 28 orders, 50 families, and 77 genera (including five genera incertae sedis). In Yunnan, bambusicolous Ascomycota is mostly distributed in Dothideomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, Leotiomycetes and Sordariomycetes (Figs 7 & 8). Apiospora, Astrosphaeriella, Phyllachora, Roussoella, Seriascoma, Sporidesmium and Vamsapriya were the most abundant genera in Yunnan (more than three records) and of which Apiospora, Phyllachora and Roussoella were most dominant (more than eight records).

      Bambusicolous Ascomycota in Guizhou of China comprises 30 taxa distributed in nine orders, 17 families and 20 genera. In Guizhou, bambusicolous Ascomycota is mostly distributed in classes Dothideomycetes and Sordariomycetes (Fig. 9). Compared with a single record of other genera in Guizhou, Apiospora, Arthrinium and Collodiscula were found to be more abundant in Guizhou.

      Bambusicolous Ascomycota in Sichuan of China comprises 35 taxa in 11 orders, 23 families, and 27 genera (including one genera incertae sedis). In Sichuan, bambusicolous Ascomycota is mostly distributed in Dothideomycetes, Lecanoromycetes and Sordariomycetes (Fig. 10). Except that Apiospora and Phyllachora were recorded in Sichuan more than five times, other genera were recorded on only one occasion in Sichuan Province.

    • To date, bambusicolous Ascomycota in China has been associated with 16 bamboo genera (Fig. 11), viz. Arundinaria Michx., Bambusa Schreb., Chimonobambusa Makino, Dendrocalamus Nees, Fargesia Franch., Gelidocalamus T.H. Wen, Indocalamus Nakai, Oligostachyum Z.P. Wang & G.H. Ye, Phyllostachys Siebold &Zucc., Pleioblastus Nakai, Pseudosasa Makino ex Nakai, Sasa Makino & Shibata, Schizostachyum Nees, Semiarundinaria Makino ex Nakai, Sinobambusa Makino ex Nakai and Yushania Kengf. Most of bambusicolous Ascomycota in China are predominantly living on Bambusa (193 species), Phyllostachys (146 species) and Dendrocalamus (49 species) (Fig. 11). Similarily, it has been shown that the ascomycete diversity found on Bambusa and Phyllostachys are the most abundant worldwide[11]. Both our results and those of Dai et al.[11] indicate that bambusicolous ascomycete species diversity found on Dendrocalamus in China, was greater than all the combined reports globally. This implies that China has a good ecological environment for Ascomycota growing on Dendrocalamus.

      Figure 11. 

      Bambusicolous Ascomycota associated with different host genera in China from 1932 to 2022.

      Although Sordariomycetes are the largest ascomycetous group on Bambusa, Dendrocalamus and Phyllostachys (Figs 1214), respectively, Pleosporales (Dothideomycetes) always has the highest diversity on Bambusa, Dendrocalamus and Phyllostachys in China (Figs 1517). In addition, both Xylariales and Phyllachorales maintain relatively high diversity on Bambusa, Dendrocalamus and Phyllostachys. Bambusicolous Ascomycota in China is distributed mainly in Amphisphaeriales, Capnodiales, Chaetothyriales, Hypocreales, Phyllachorales, Pleosporales and Xylariales on Bambusa, Dendrocalamus and Phyllostachys. These results indicate a degree of host specificity between these fungi and the bamboo host (Fig. 18). Amphisphaeriales is more likely to live on Bambusa. Capnodiales is more likely to be found on Dendrocalamus than other hosts. However, we found that Chaetothyriales are not likely to be found growing on Bambusa. Our results also show that Hypocreales have a preference for bamboo of the genus Phyllostachys. Phyllachorales is common on Dendrocalamus; Pleosporales can thrive on Bambusa, Dendrocalamus and Phyllostachys, and it appears that Pleosporales have no host specificity. And finally, we report that Xylariales are commonly found growing on Bambusa and Dendrocalamus.

      Species diversity of bambusicolous fungi in orders of Ascomycota occurred on Bambusa, Dendrocalamus and Phyllostachys. The blue, grey and dark blue lines represent Bambusa, Dendrocalamus and Phyllostachys, respectively.

      Based on existing records, bambusicolous Ascomycota is said to be found mostly on Bambusa, Chimonobambusa, Dendrocalamus, Fargesia, Phyllostachys, Sasa, Semiarundinaria and Yushania, and especially Phyllostachys, in southwest China. However, only Phyllostachys have sufficient ascomycete sampling records for the purpose of calculating species richness data, and thus our results are limited to that of Ascomycota found on Phyllostachys in southwest China ( Figs 19 & 20). Although Sordariomycetes is the largest ascomycetous group on Phyllostachys in southwest China, Pleosporales (Dothideomycetes) had the greatest species diversity on Phyllostachys in region. Based on Figs 17 & 20, species diversity of Pleosporales in southwest China is far greater than the average in all of China. Based on our results, Pleosporales is the largest order group of bambusicolous Ascomycota in southwest China.

    • Dothideomycetes and Sordariomycetes were by far the most dominant Ascomycota found on bamboo, not only in southwest China, but also in the entire country. The ratio of species richness of bambusicolous Ascomycota in Yunnan is closer to that in southwest China. Thus, Yunnan appears to be a model research area for the study of these fungi in southwest China. The ratio of species richness of Dothideomycetes in southwest China was greater than in the entire country, this is either due the southwestern area being more suitable for these fungi, or as a result of more studies being conducted in the southwest. Guizhou and Yunnan, located in Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau of China, falling within similar climate zones and latitude. However, the species diversity of bambusicolous Ascomycota in Guizhou seems to be unique (Fig. 9), probably due to lack of enough species samplings and local environmental limitation. On the other hand, this unique species diversity reveals a huge potential to discover more novel bambusicolous Dothideomycetes in Guizhou in the future.

      Yunnan is home to a limited number of bamboo forest areas, whereas most bamboo forests (70%) are in Fujian, Hunan, Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces[2,3]. In addition, Yunnans special mountainous plateau terrain introduces additional difficulties in discovering bambusicolous Ascomycota. The number of bambusicolous Ascomycota in Yunnan have mostly been discovered in the past two decades, mainly due to unique geographic and ecological environments and rich species diversity of bamboo in Yunnan. Except Hong Kong and Taiwan, Yunnan can be regarded as a hot-spot for bambusicolous Ascomycota in China.

      Genera preference of bambusicolous Ascomycota in China is somewhat distinct. Fungi of seven orders (Amphisphaeriales, Capnodiales, Chaetothyriales, Hypocreales, Phyllachorales, Pleosporales and Xylariales) are found on Bambusa, Dendrocalamus and Phyllostachys.

      The current work highlights a number of shortcomings in the literature and indicates future directions for research in this field. First, bamboo hosts of many previously published and reported species were not correctly identified, which led to many species and records remaining doubtful when analyzed for species richness of bambusicolous Ascomycota. Therefore, it is necessary that researchers should provide detailed host names in the future. Secondly, since Tanaka et al.[67], most studies used phylogenetic analyses to identify new taxa of bambusicolous fungi. With DNA sequencing technique gaining popularity, we have a challenge in taxonomic placement of fungi, especially in resolving taxonomic placement of poorly-studied bambusicolous Ascomycota. Thirdly, to date, we have a limited knowledge on bambusicolous endophytes. And finally, the study of co-evolution between bamboos and bambusicolous Ascomycota requires further attention in future studies.
