Abstract
A strain of the phytopathogenic fungus Neopestalotiopsis clavispora was detected and completely morphologically and molecularly characterized in the Phytopathology Laboratory of the Fruit Research Institute, Čačak. The strain is deposited in the Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute, Utrecht, The Netherlands, CBS strain database (strain RS-PC-67, #CBS 149249), as the only strain of this species from Serbia. It is used as one of the reference isolates of N. clavispora for the study of phytopathogenic fungi from this genus from 2022 at the Fruit Research Institute, Čačak and at the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Belgrade. At the international level, the strain was commercially realized in 2022.
