A new species in Diaporthaceae, Diaporthe fengtaiensis sp. nov., is described and illustrated from Southwestern China. A comparative morpho‐anatomical study and multilocus phylogenetic analysis (ITS, CAL , HIS , TEF1‐α , TUB2 ) confirmed its position within the section Betulicola of the genus Diaporthe . The taxon is characterized by immersed ascomata (270–420 × 290–410 µm), relatively large asci (70–115 × 9.5–13.5 µm), and 1‐...

Epigenetic mechanisms are integral to plant growth, development, and adaptation to environmental stimuli. Over the past two decades, our comprehension of these complex regulatory processes has expanded remarkably, producing a substantial body of knowledge on both locus-specific mechanisms and genome-wide regulatory patterns. Studies initially grounded in the model plant Arabidopsis have been broadened to encompass a diverse ar...

The cutaneous fungal infections in male genitalia are relatively rare, and often present with various atypical clinical symptoms. It was mainly reported in a small number of case reports, while data with large number of patients were rarely reported. In this study, we reported 79 male patients with cutaneous fungal infections on scrotum or penis. The fungal infections were confirmed by microscopic examination directly and fung...
