Morphology and molecular phylogeny of Dothideomycetes fungi associated with Dracaena plants

Researchers studied fungi living on Dracaena plants in Thailand, which are tough plants that grow well in dry, rocky areas. They found eleven different types of fungi, including three completely new species never described before. By examining the fungi under microscopes and analyzing their DNA, they discovered that these drought-tolerant plants support a rich variety of fungal life that hadn’t been well documented previously.
