Importance and distribution
Edenia species are pathogenic to human and plants. Hyphae of E. gomezpompae was isolated from a patient suffering from keratitis (Crous et al. 2009).
Industrial relevance and applications
Anti-inflammatory spirobisnaphthalene natural products significant to the medical and pharmaceutical industry have been reported from the plant-derived endophytic fungus E. gomezpompae (Tan et al. 2020). Naphthoquinone Spiroketals and organic extracts from the endophytic fungus E. gomezpompae are used as potential herbicides against some weeds (Macías-Rubalcava et al. 2014). Edenia gomezpompae is reported from Callicarpa acuminata (Lamiaceae) in Mexico and Senna alata (Fabaceae) in Philippines. Edenia achyranthis was isolated from stems of Achyranthes bidentate (Amaranthaceae) in China (Hebei). The sexual morph of E. gomezpompae has recently been found on unidentified twigs in India (Hongsanan et al. 2020a).
