Impact of Climate Change on Potential Distribution of Chinese Caterpillar Fungus (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) in Nepal Himalaya
Climate change has already impacted ecosystems and species and substantial impacts of climate change in the future are expected. Species distribution modeling is widely used to map the current potential distribution of species as well as to model the impact of future climate change on distribution of species. Mapping current distribution is useful for conservation planning and understanding the...
متن کاملCaterpillar Fungus (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) Production and Sustainability on the Tibetan Plateau and in the Himalayas
Caterpillar fungus (Ophiocordyceps = Cordyceps sinensis) is an entomophagous fungus endemic to the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas. It has become the most important source of cash income in wide areas of the Tibetan Plateau, where it is known as yartsa gunbu, ‘summer grass winter worm’. The market is driven by Chinese consumers, who refer to it as dongchong xiacao. The value of this myco-medi...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity and Distribution Patterns of Host Insects of Caterpillar Fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
The caterpillar fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis is one of the most valuable medicinal fungi in the world, and it requires host insects in family Hepialidae (Lepidoptera) to complete its life cycle. However, the genetic diversity and phylogeographic structures of the host insects remain to be explored. We analyzed the genetic diversity and temporal and spatial distribution patterns of genetic var...
متن کاملEvidence for two types of nrDNA existing in Chinese medicinal fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis
Nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) sequences are widely used in the molecular classification of fungi. Previous phylogenetic studies of highly-valued traditional Chinese medicinal fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis were mostly based on 18S and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions (ITS1, 5.8S and ITS2) of nrDNA. However, the disparity manifest in the low sequences identities between different O. sin...
متن کاملComplete mitochondrial genome of the medicinal fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis
As part of a genome sequencing project for Ophiocordyceps sinensis, strain 1229, a complete mitochondrial (mt) genome was assembled as a single circular dsDNA of 157,510 bp, one of the largest reported for fungi. Conserved genes including the large and small rRNA subunits, 27 tRNA and 15 protein-coding genes, were identified. In addition, 58 non-conserved open reading frames (ncORFs) in the int...
