Cytospora is a widespread fungal genus that causes canker diseases in woody plants worldwide. Recent However, the species diversity of Cytospora in the high-altitude forests of the Xizang (Tibet) Autonomous Region in China has not been systematically studied. In the present study, 136 isolates were collected from cankered branches As a result of these analyses, the genus was divided into 10 species complexes ( Beilinensis SC, Chrysosperma SC, Euonymicola SC, Japonica SC, Kantschavelii SC, Leucostoma SC, Pruinosa SC, Ribis SC, Sacchari SC and Viticola study highlights the species diversity of forest pathogens in Xizang, providing valuable information for future disease management practices.
