Molecular characterization of Embellisia and Nimbya species and their relationship to Alternaria, Ulocladium and Stemphylium.

چکیده
DNA sequences from rDNA and protein-coding regions were determined for six Embellisia and two Nimbya spp. and were compared to those from Alternaria, Ulocladium and Stemphylium spp. Sequences determined included rDNA from the nuclear internal transcribed-spacer region (ITS1/5.8S/ITS2) and the mitochondrial small-subunit (mt SSU) and a portion of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gpd) gene. Phylogenetic analyses were performed on each dataset separately and then combined for total evidence analysis using methods of maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood. Results revealed that Embellisia and Nimbya clustered within a large monophyletic Alternaria-Nimbya-Embellisia-Ulocladium clade with Stemphylium as the sister taxon. Members of the infectoria species-group were the most basal group in this large polygeneric clade. Embellisia and Nimbya were sister taxa of the remaining Alternaria and Ulocladium spp. and were related more closely to Alternaria than was Stemphylium. Four Embellisia spp. formed a monophyletic clade. However, E. allii clustered with the two Nimbya spp. and E. indefessa clustered with Alternaria and Ulocladium spp., revealing that Embellisia, as currently circumscribed, is polyphyletic. Potential revisions of taxonomy for all genera are discussed.

Alternaria redefined
UNLABELLED Alternaria is a ubiquitous fungal genus that includes saprobic, endophytic and pathogenic species associated with a wide variety of substrates. In recent years, DNA-based studies revealed multiple non-monophyletic genera within the Alternaria complex, and Alternaria species clades that do not always correlate to species-groups based on morphological characteristics. The Alternaria co...
متن کاملگزارشی از گونههای Alternaria و جنسهای مشابه آن در استان همدان
در پژوهش حاضر، جمعآوری و شناسایی گونههای جنس Alternaria و جنسهای مشابه آن، طی سالهای 1391 و 1392 از مزارع، باغات و رویشگاههای مختلف استان همدان انجام شد. در مجموع، 110 جدایه از این قارچها از میزبانهای مختلف جداسازی شد. بر اساس ویژگیهای ریختشناسی، این جدایهها متعلق به جنسهای: Alternaria، Embellisia، Stemphylium و Ulocladium بودند. از آنجا که به تازگی بر اساس مطالعات مولکولی اغلب گونه...
متن کاملAlt a 1 allergen homologs from Alternaria and related taxa: analysis of phylogenetic content and secondary structure.
A gene for the Alternaria major allergen, Alt a 1, was amplified from 52 species of Alternaria and related genera, and sequence information was used for phylogenetic study. Alt a 1 gene sequences evolved 3.8 times faster and contained 3.5 times more parsimony-informative sites than glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gpd) sequences. Analyses of Alt a 1 gene and gpd exon sequences strongly...
متن کاملNature and Effect of Alternaria Spp. Complex from Wheat Grain on Germination and Disease Transmission
Diseases caused by Alternaria sp. are among the most common diseases of crops throughout the world. Alternaria sp. is a common component of the flora of wheat seed. Although isolation of Alternaria sp. from wheat (Triticum aestivum) seed has been reported in Argentina, development of the Alternaria blight in plants from infected seeds has not been demonstrated experimentally. Seed transmission ...
متن کاملMolecular taxonomy of the Alternaria and Ulocladium species from humans and their identification in the routine laboratory Molekulare Taxonomie humaner Isolate von Alternaria- und Ulocladium-Arten und ihre Identifizierung im Routinelabor
The Alternaria and Ulocladium species reported from humans are studied taxonomically using rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence data. The ITS variability within the genus is relatively limited. The two most important, longicatenate species, Alternaria alternata and A. infectoria, clearly differ in their ITS domains, due to a 26-bp insert in ITS1 of the latter species. A number of tax...
