Zymoseptoria is a newly described genus that includes the prominent wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici (synonyms Mycosphaerella graminicola and Septoria tritici). Studies indicated that the center of origin of Z. tritici is in the Middle East where this important pathogen emerged during the domestication of wheat. Several Zymoseptoria species have been found on uncultivated grasses in the Middle East, and in this article we describe two new Zymoseptoria species from Iran. These species, isolated from Elymus repens, Dactylis glomerata and Lolium perenne, are named Z. ardabiliae and Z. pseudotritici. Both species were identified by means of morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses of a seven-gene DNA dataset. These taxa comprise some of the closest known relatives of the wheat pathogen Z. tritici, confirming the reported close phylogenetic relationship between Z. tritici and Z. pseudotritici.
生丝单胞菌属是一个新描述的属，包含重要的小麦病原菌禾生壳针孢（同义名：球腔菌小麦专化型和叶枯病菌）。研究表明，禾生壳针孢的起源中心在中东，该重要病原菌是在小麦驯化过程中出现的。在中东的未开垦草地中发现了几种生丝单胞菌属物种，在本文中，我们描述了来自伊朗的两个新的生丝单胞菌属物种。这些从披碱草、鸭茅和黑麦草中分离出的物种被命名为生丝单胞菌属阿尔达比勒种和生丝单胞菌属拟叶枯病菌种。这两个种是通过对包含七个基因的 DNA 数据集的形态特征和系统发育分析来鉴定的。这些分类群是已知与小麦病原菌禾生壳针孢关系最密切的物种之一，证实了禾生壳针孢与拟叶枯病菌种之间的密切亲缘关系。
