Table 1_Molecular characterization reveals three Neopestalotiopsis species causing strawbe

Patricia López's dataset details the molecular characterization of three Neopestalotiopsis fungal species causing disease outbreaks in Spanish strawberry fields. The data includes phylogenetic analysis based on ITS, TEF, and TUB gene regions and pathogenicity tests on three strawberry cultivars. The study corrects previous misidentifications and provides the first report of Neopestalotiopsis sp. and N. iranensis causing leaf spot and crown rot in Spain.

Use Cases

• Training pathogen identification models based on phylogenetic characterization data.
• Developing disease management strategies based on pathogen aggressiveness across different strawberry cultivars.
• Studying the geographic distribution and emergence of Neopestalotiopsis species in agricultural systems.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on phylogenetic characterization using three gene regions (ITS, TEF, TUB).
• Pathogenicity was confirmed by inoculating isolates onto three specific strawberry cultivars ('Rociera FNM', 'Palmeritas', 'Plared 15105').
• The study corrects a previous species misidentification, clarifying N. rosae as the predominant species in Spain.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 49.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
