Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycota) harbour ancient fungal tubulin genes that resemble those of the chytrids (Chytridiomycota).
The genes encoding alpha- and beta-tubulins have been widely sampled in most major fungal phyla and they are useful tools for fungal phylogeny. Here, we report the first isolation of alpha-tubulin sequences from arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). In parallel, AMF beta-tubulins were sampled and analysed to identify the presence of paralogs of this gene. The AMF alpha-tubulin amino acid phylogen...
متن کاملMeiotic genes in the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important symbionts of land plants, which are known for their tremendous positive effects on terrestrial ecosystems, their peculiar cellular features, and their very old evolutionary history. To date, no sexual stage or apparatus have ever been observed in these organisms; a remarkable absence for a eukaryotic lineage. For this reason, AMF have long be...
متن کاملNatural selection and the evolutionary ecology of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Phylum Glomeromycota).
Darwin's model of evolution by natural selection was based on his observations of change in discrete organisms in which individuals are easy to define. Many of the most abundant functional groups in ecosystems, such as fungi and bacteria, do not fit this paradigm. In this review, we seek to understand how the elegant logic of Darwinian natural selection can be applied to distributed clonal orga...
متن کاملPhylogeny of the glomeromycota (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi): recent developments and new gene markers.
The fungal symbionts of arbuscular mycorrhiza form a monophyletic group in the true Fungi, the phylum Glomeromycota. Fewer than 200 described species currently are included in this group. The only member of this clade known to form a different type of symbiosis is Geosiphon pyriformis, which associates with cyanobacteria. Because none of these fungi has been cultivated without their plant hosts...
متن کاملDevelopment of new molecular markers for phylogeny and molecular identification of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycota)
Because of the high genetic variability of the nuclear-encoded ribosomal RNA genes within single spores of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycota), new alternative marker genes are needed to better resolve closely related taxa. Based on published nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit (mt-LSU), new fungal-specific primers were constructed and successfully us...
