چکیده

DNA sequences (~3 kb long) extending from the intergenic spacer 1 (IGS1) region to the 18S gene were obtained for isolates of Armillaria ostoyae, Armillaria calvescens, Armillaria gallica, and Armillaria sinapina. Additional investigation of 16 A. ostoyae, 11 Armillaria gemina, 21 A. calvescens, 18 A. gallica, and 15 A. sinapina isolates produced 117 sequences spanning the 3’ end of the IGS1 through the 5S gene and into the 5’ end of the IGS2 region. Additional sequences spanning the 3’ IGS2 to 5’ 18S gene region were obtained for two A. ostoyae, three A. gemina, two A. calvescens, two A. gallica, and three A. sinapina isolates. This is the first report of complete IGS2 sequences from Armillaria spp. A species identification protocol involving species-specific primers and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was devised based on species-specific polymorphisms. The protocol successfully identified all 16 A. ostoyae, 11 A. gemina, three of three Armillaria mellea, 18 A. gallica, 14 of 15 A. sinapina (11/12 diploid and 3/3 haploid), and 14 of 21 A. calvescens (13/15 diploid and 1/6 haploid) isolates included in this study. To the best of our knowledge, this success rate has not been matched by other methods. Résumé : Les auteurs ont obtenu des séquences d’ADN (~3 kb de longueur) qui s’étendent de la région 1 de l’espaceur intergénique (IGS) jusqu’au gène 18S pour des isolats d’Armillaria ostoyae, Armillaria calvescens, Armillaria gallica et Armillaria sinapina. L’étude additionnelle de 16 isolats d’A. ostoyae, 11 d’A. gemina, 21 d’A. calvescens, 18 d’A. gallica et 15 d’A. sinapina a généré 117 séquences couvrant l’intervalle entre le bout 3’ de l’IGS1 et le bout 5’ de la région IGS2 en passant par le gène 5S. Des séquences additionnelles couvrant l’intervalle entre le bout 3’ de l’IGS2 et la région 5’ du gène 18S ont été obtenues pour deux isolats d’A. ostoyae, trois d’A. gemina, deux d’A. calvescens, deux d’A. gallica et trois d’A. sinapina. C’est la première fois qu’on obtient des séquences complètes d’IGS2 pour des espèces d’Armillaria. À partir de polymorphismes spécifiques à chaque espèce, les auteurs ont déterminé un protocole d’identification des espèces impliquant des amorces spécifiques à chaque espèce et l’analyse de polymorphismes de longueur des fragments de restriction. Le protocole a permis d’identifier avec succès les 16 isolats d’A. ostoyae, les 11 isolats d’A. gemina, trois des trois isolats d’Armillaria mellea, les 18 isolats d’A. gallica, 14 des 15 isolats d’A. sinapina (11 des 12 diploı̈des et trois des trois haploı̈des) et 14 des 21 isolats d’A calvescens (13 des 15 diploı̈des et un des six haploı̈des). Au meilleur de la connaissance des auteurs, ce taux de succès n’aurait pas été égalé par d’autres méthodes. [Traduit par la Rédaction]

Armillaria isolates were collected from a unique forest ecosystem in the Niobrara Valley Preserve in Nebraska, USA, which comprises a glacial and early postglacial refugium in the central plains of North America. The isolates were collected from diverse forest trees representing a unique mixture of forest types. Combined methods of rDNA sequencing and flow cytometric measurements of nuclear DNA...

Armillaria altimontana, a new species from the western interior of North America.

Armillaria altimontana, previously considered North American biological species (NABS) X, is described as new. To date, it appears that A. altimontana prefers higher-elevation, mesic sites within the dry, conifer forest zone of western interior North America. This species has been found on hardwoods and conifers and is associated most commonly with Abies-dominated forest types in southern Briti...

Geographical diversity of Armillaria mellea s. s. based on phylogenetic analysis

Armillaria mellea was once thought to be a morphologically variable species with a wide distribution and a very broad host range. The relatively recent development of an indirect assessment of sexual incompatibility in Armillaria has led to identification of biological species within A. mellea s. 1. Partial intergenic spacer region (IGS) sequences of the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) operon have been de...

A portion of the Intergenic Spacer (IGS) of the ribosomal RNA operon of 74 isolates of 11 Ar? millaria species from Europe and North America was amplified using the polymerase chain reaction. Amplifications were made from scrapes of living mycelium without DNA extraction. Alu I digests ofthe amplified product were electrophoresed in agarose and stained with ethidium bromide. With few exceptions...
