Putative palm pathogens: Novel species and new host records of leaf disease-associated microfungi (Ascomycota) on Nypa fruticans in Thailand
and provides a comprehensive overview of the diversity of fungal species on this brackish water palm. By documenting fungal diversity and potential pathogens, our findings support biodiversity conservation and sustainable ecosystem management, directly contributing to SDG 14 (Life Below Water) and SDG 15 (Life on Land) and indirectly to SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 13 (Climate Action) through the protection of mangrove health and resilience.
