Molecular phylogeny and taxonomic revision of the genus Bolbitius (Bolbitiaceae,

Agaricales) in Russia

EF Malysheva, VF Malysheva, TY Svetasheva - Mycological Progress, 2015 - Springer

/Russia, /species complex

2015/07/28

Six species recorded from Russia in the genus Bolbitius were studied. Among them, B. bisporus and B. pallidus are described as new in this

paper. Comprehensive descriptions of all species, illustrations, photographs and comparisons with similar taxa are provided. Phylogenetic

analyses were conducted to aid in taxa delimitation as well as identification of species boundaries in the genus Bolbitius. Molecular

phylogenetic reconstructions inferred from maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses were based on combined datasets: nrITS-nrLSU for

the whole set of studied species and nrITS-tef1-mtSSU for B. titubans specimens. The molecular data of three genetic markers indicate the

existence of at least three divergent lineages in B. titubans, and each may represent an independent taxonomic unit, which suggests that B.

titubans is likely a species complex rather than one widely distributed taxon.

Acanthocorticium brueggemannii gen. et sp. nov. is introduced based on specimens from Southern Brazil. This corticioid fungus is

characterized by resupinate basidiomes with smooth to tuberculate hymenophore, a monomitic hyphal system with simple-septate hyphae,

finely echinulate halocystidia, cylindrical to clavate, dextrinoid acanthophyses, and globose, hyaline, smooth, and thin-walled IKI

basidiospores. Phylogenetic analyses of a LSU data set and a combined data set of ITS and LSU were carried out and the new taxon was

found to be related to cyphelloid fungi within the Agaricales. Descriptions and drawings of the microscopic features of A. brueggemannii are

provided.

Summary 1.Pathogens can accumulate on invasive plants over time, which could lead to population declines. The time required for these

dynamics to occur is unknown and seldom addressed. Furthermore, no study has assessed plant-soil feedback while characterising plant

pathogen and mutualist root fungal communities in the context of invasion time. 2.We used a plant-soil feedback study and 454

pyrosequencing to investigate pathogen accumulation over 100 years on a highly invasive plant in eastern North America that shows

localised declines, Vincetoxicum rossicum (Apocynaceae). 3.We collected soil from five sites representing each of four invasion periods of V.

2015/07/28

Abstract In tropical forests, one of the most commonly encountered relationships between parasites and insects is that between the fungus

Ophiocordyceps (Ophiocordycipitaceae, Hypocreales, Ascomycota) and ants, especially within the tribe Camponotini. Here, we describe

three newly discovered host-specific species, Ophiocordyceps camponoti-atricipis, O. camponoti-bispinosi and O. camponoti-indiani, on

Camponotus ants from the central Amazonian region of Brazil, which can readily be separated using morphological traits, in particular the

shape and behavior of the ascospores. DNA sequence data support inclusion of these species within the Ophiocordyceps unilateralis

complex.

Fungal colonization of the rooting system of the early land plant Asteroxylon mackiei

from the 407-Myr-old Rhynie Chert (Scotland, UK)

C Strullu-Derrien, Z Wawrzyniak - Botanical Journal of , 2015 - Wiley Online Library

/Scotland, /new species

2015/07/28

Associations between plants and fungi were an important and varied feature of early terrestrial ecosystems, but in most instances their

biological functions remain poorly understood. We document a new species of fungus colonizing the rooting system of the early lycopod

Asteroxylon mackiei, based on exceptionally well-preserved fossils from the Rhynie Chert. We investigated historical petrographic thin

sections using standard optical microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Palaeozoosporites renaultii gen. nov., sp. nov. colonized

the inner cortex of the plant rooting system. The fungus had an aseptate thallus with isotomous or sympodial branching. The mycelium bore

distinctive porate, globose to elongated structures that we interpret as zoosporangia and resting sporangia. Doubts remain over the precise

systematic affinity of P.renaultii, which closely resembles chytrids. Whereas most of the Rhynie Chert plants developed symbiotic

associations of the mycorrhizal type, it seems that this was not the case for Asteroxylon mackiei, which possessed the most evolved rooting

system among the Rhynie Chert plants. We argue that the new root-borne fungus was probably parasitic. 2015 The Linnean Society of

2015/07/28

Abstract Bullera species in the Trichosporonales (Tremellomycetes, Agaricomycotina) are phylogenetically distinct from Bullera alba

(teleomorph: Bulleromyces albus), the type species of Bullera that belongs to Tremellales. In the present study, the three Bullera species,

namely Bullera formosensis, Bullera koratensis and Bullera lagerstroemiae, and Cryptococcus tepidarius belonging to the Trichosporonales

are transferred into a new genus Takashimella gen. nov. (MycoBank No. MB 810672) based on sequence analysis of the small subunit (SSU)

rRNA gene, the D1/D2 domains of large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene and the ITS+5.8S rRNA gene sequences. In addition, the genus

Cryptotrichosporon is emended to accommodate a novel ballistoconidium-forming species of the Trichosporonales, which is named as

Cryptotrichosporon tibetense (type strain CGMCC 2.02614T = CBS 10455T). The MycoBank number of this new species is MB 810688.

2015/07/28

Abstract Entorrhiza is a small fungal genus comprising 14 species that all cause galls on roots of Cyperaceae and Juncaceae. Although this

genus was established 130 years ago, crucial questions on the phylogenetic relationships and biology of this enigmatic taxon are still

unanswered. In order to infer a robust hypothesis about the phylogenetic position of Entorrhiza and to evaluate evolutionary trends,

multiple gene sequences and morphological characteristics of Entorrhiza were analyzed and compared with respective findings in Fungi. In

our comprehensive five-gene analyses Entorrhiza appeared as a highly supported monophyletic lineage representing the sister group to the

rest of the Dikarya, a phylogenetic placement that received but moderate maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony bootstrap support.

An alternative maximum likelihood tree with the constraint that Entorrhiza forms a monophyletic group with Basidiomycota could not be

rejected. According to the first phylogenetic hypothesis, the teliospore tetrads of Entorrhiza represent the prototype of the dikaryan

meiosporangium. The alternative hypothesis is supported by similarities in septal pore structure, cell wall and spindle pole bodies. Based on

the isolated phylogenetic position of Entorrhiza and its peculiar combination of features related to ultrastructure and reproduction mode, we

propose a new phylum Entorrhizomycota, for the genus Entorrhiza, which represents an apparently widespread group of inconspicuous

fungi.

Morphological, Molecular and Pathological Characterization of Phytophthora amaranthi

sp. nov. from Amaranth in Taiwan

PJ Ann, JH Huang, JN Tsai - Journal of Phytopathology, 2015 - Wiley Online Library

/Taiwan, /new species

2015/07/28

Abstract In the spring of 2007, a serious disease on amaranth was noticed in several farms in the major amaranth production area in

central Taiwan. Abundant oospores were found in the disease tissues. A species of Phytophthora was consistently isolated from disease

tissues. The organism formed abundant oospores with smooth walls and with amphigynous antheridia in single culture. Sporangia were

partially deciduous with short- to medium-length pedicels. Morphological characteristics of this organism did not match any reported

Phytophthora species, and the organism was named Phytophthora amaranthi. Pathogenicity tests and molecular characterization confirmed

the identity of the organism as a new pathogen of amaranth and a new species of Phytophthora.

Mycorrhizal fungi exist in diversified soils supporting varied plant communities in different climatic zones with diverse soil conditions. Seventy

to 80 % plants including bryophytes, primary vascular plants, aquatic plants, and xerophytes possess mycorrhizae. Ectomycorrhizae are

mostly associated with gymnosperms and woody plants, while 80 % plant groups are mainly colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The

present account presents a methodical review of mycorrhizal types and in-depth analysis of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and their role as

benefactor for plant growth.

Dynamics of the worldwide number of fungi with emphasis on fungal diversity in

China

YC Dai, BK Cui, J Si, SH He, KD Hyde, HS Yuan - Mycological , 2015 - Springer

/China, /new species

2015/07/28

A survey and analysis of fungal taxa introduced over seven decades is presented. The numbers of introduced taxa were collated from ten

editions of the Dictionary of the Fungi as well as from the Index of Fungi. In total, around 9100 genera and 108,000 species had been

introduced by 2014. Between 1943 and 2008, the average numbers of introduced novel genera increased annually by 73 and species by

950. However, between 2008 and 2012, the average numbers of introduced novel genera increased annually by 110 and species by 1430.

There were 1203 novel genera and 16,912 novel species described between 2001 and 2012, with an average of 100 new genera and 1397

new species published annually during the period. Advances in molecular techniques have accelerated the discovery of novel taxa; it

therefore seems likely that many more novel taxa will be described in the future. Between 2001 and 2012, 1529 novel species were

described from China, accounting for 9.2 % of all novel species descriptions worldwide. Around 17,000 fungal species had been recorded in

China by 2014 with 5700 basidiomycete species, and 6700 species from important fungal groups being documented in Flora Fungorum

Sinicorum with detailed descriptions, microscopic drawings and lists of voucher collections. An overview of studies on fungal diversity in

China is presented.

Abstract Pepino (Solanum muricatum var. pepino) plants were found affected by an extensive leaf spot caused by plant pathogenic fungi

during a survey in the Cameron highlands, Pahang state, Malaysia. Symptomatic leaf samples were collected from infected pepino plants

and cultivated on PDA medium, and the pathogen was isolated and purified; then, consequently, all isolates were identified as Stemphylium

lycopersici on the basis of their cultural and morphological characteristics and combined sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS)

and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gpd) regions. A pathogenicity assay on detached leaves further confirmed that S.

lycopersici causes leaf spot disease. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of S. lycopersici causing leaf spot on pepino in

Malaysia and worldwide.

In vitro co-cultivation of Piriformospora indica filtrate for improve biomass

productivity in Artemisia annua (L.)

D Baishya, P Deka, MC Kalita - Symbiosis, 2015 - Springer

GC/MS, /Artemisia

2015/07/28

We established in vitro augmentation of callus, organogenesis and photosynthetic pigments content in Artemisia annua using Piriformospora

indica filtrate and by optimizing plant growth regulators on culture medium. In vitro raised plantlets from nodal explants showed the best

shooting at MS + BAP (3 mg/l) while MS + IBA (3 mg/l) was the best combination for rooting. Co-cultivation of nodal explants using P.

indica was done just after root initiation. Leaf explants supplemented with MS + 2, 4 D (3 mg/l) showed the best callogenesis. Interaction of

in vitro raised plantlets and callus with the fungus and the filtrate resulted in overall increase in plant biomass and chlorophyll contents.

Within 15 days of inoculation, the fungus colonized with the root cortical region of the plantlet and showed an increase in growth

parameters such as root (21 %) and shoot (37.2 %) length, fresh (35 %) and dry weight (3 %), and most importantly pigment contents i.e.

chlorophyll a (2 %), chlorophyll b (0.3 %) and carotenoid (66 %). P. indica filtrate (1 l/ml)-treated light green friable callus obtained from

leaf explants using MS + 2,4 D (3 mg/l), showed the highest biomass within 35 days. Thus, the study demonstrated the symbiotic effect of

P. indica as a biopriming agent for the overall growth of biomass in Artemisia annua.

XYLARIA PRIMERS FOR PHYLOGENETIC RECONSTRUCTION

A Ly - 2015 - scholarsbank.uoregon.edu

/Xylaria,

/Xylariaceae, /cellulose,

/lignin

2015/07/28

Xylaria is a genus of Ascomycete fungi that is comprised of an estimated 400 species. These species are important to the ecosystems in

which they inhabit, because they contribute to the decomposition of wood, which recycles lignin and cellulose. Though this genuss

morphological traits have been widely studied over the years, their molecular phylogenetics have not been extensively explored due to the

historical unavailability of species genomes. Now that complete genomes have become available, there have been an increasing number of

ribosomal Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequence studies in recent years. However, ITS is too variable to consistently construct

accurate phylogenetic trees, so Xylaria phylogeny is still being researched. This study explores the use of single-copy genes as an alternative

to ITS methods. Here I present three primer pairs for different single-copy genes for use during future phylogenetic evaluation of Xylaria.

These primers, Splicing Factor PRP43 F1054/R1691, MCM5 F409/R1059 and 40S Ripro S3Ae F47/R605, are more reliable than ITS

sequences for deeper levels of analysis. This study focuses on Xylaria, while utilizing related species within in the Xylariaceae and

Sordariaceae families, providing a promising start to the complete reconstruction of the Xylaria phylogenetic tree.
