Fusarium is a large and diverse genus of fungi of great agricultural and economic importance, containing many plant pathogens and mycotoxin producers. To date, high-throughput sequencing of Fusarium communities has been limited by the lack of genus-specific primers targeting regions with high discriminatory power at the species level. In the present study, we evaluated two Fusarium-specific pri...

Molecular phylogenetic analyses of ITS-LSU rDNA sequence data demonstrate that Melanconis species occurring on Juglandaceae are phylogenetically distinct from Melanconis s.str., and therefore the new genus Juglanconis is described. Morphologically, the genus Juglanconis differs from Melanconis by light to dark brown conidia with irregular verrucae on the inner surface of the conidial wall, whil...

The most well characterized eukaryote model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae is not only preferred as a microbial cell factory for synthesis of industrial products, e.g. bioethanol, but this eukaryote host system is also defined as a robust scaffold for commercial production of diverse chemicals e.g. isoprenoids. Therefore, a number of tools in different emerging fields e.g. systems biology, e...

fusarium species are cosmopolitan species that frequently isolated from soils and plantdebris and can seriously damaged plant, animal and human. persian gulf beaches in iranare the ideal habitat for a variety of fusarium species. therefore, the study is conductedto gather some information on the population of fusarium species which could be foundin persian gulf beaches in iran. the study involv...

Hydnum repando-orientale is an East Asian species closely related to H. boreorepandum and repandum; all three produce edible mushrooms. We identified two ecological groups of in Japan: a temperate group occurring Fagaceae-dominated forest at < 1200 m a.s.l. (ROF) subalpine coniferous highland > 1900 (ROC). re-examined the taxonomy using integrative approaches. Phylogenies other were inferred fr...

The genus Fusarium includes numerous important plant and human pathogens, as well many industrially commercially species. During our investigation of fungal diversity in China, a total 356 fusarioid isolates were obtained identified from diverse diseased healthy plants, or different environmental habitats, i.e., air, carbonatite, compost, faeces, soil water, representing hitherto one the most i...

Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) is a crop of great biocultural importance in the Totonacapan region Mexico; however, producers face various phytosanitary problems that decrease production. The main one being loss caused by fungus, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vanillae, pathogen causes disease whose symptomatology root rot severe cases death plants. Therefore, study crucial, due to scarcity genetic va...

Species in Phellinus s.s. are some of the most important wood-decaying fungal pathogens in northern temperate forests, yet data on species incidence in North America remains limited. Therefore, phylogenetic analyses were performed using four loci (ITS, nLSU, tef1 and rpb2) with isolates representing 13 species. Results of phylogenetic analyses using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference rev...

Various species of phytopathogenic Botryosphaeriaceae were identified previously from pistachio trees worldwide. Disease symptoms caused by pathogens in Botryosphaeriaceae on pistachio include panicle and shoot blight, leaf defoliation, fruit discoloration and decay. In this study species of Botryosphaeriaceae were collected from blighted pistachio shoots in Arizona, USA, and Greece. The aims o...

In addition to rusts, the subphylum Pucciniomycotina (Basidiomycota) includes a large number of unicellular or dimorphic fungi which are usually studied as yeasts. Ribosomal DNA sequence analyses have shown that the current taxonomic system of the pucciniomycetous yeasts which is based on phenotypic criteria is not concordant with the molecular phylogeny and many genera are polyphyletic. Here w...
