Mycosphere 8(4), 660–696, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/8/4/12 Abstract This study is an update of the available data concerning species of ascomycetous microfungi from Southern Uzbekistan. This revision is based on literature and herbaria records and recent field trips in the region. Currently, there are 333 species and 107 genera of ascomycetous microfungi known from region. Among these taxa Anthostoma melanotes, Camarosporium mori, Cucurbitaria negundinis, C. rhamni, Gloeosporium populi-albae are newly reported for ascomycetous mycota of Uzbekistan, while 26 microfungal species are new to the Southern region. The most frequently collected species of the genera are Alternaria, Ascochyta, Cucurbitaria, Cytospora, Leptosphaeria, Mycosphaerella, Pleospora, Phyllosticta, Ramularia and Septoria which are widely known for their cosmopolitan nature. The checklist includes details of the location and substrate on which they were encountered. This data will be useful in the compilation of ascomycetous microfungal biodiversity of Uzbekistan. This region, characterised by arid and semi-arid and dry forest and xerophytic plants provides an excellent opportunity to unravel the species diversity with the possibility of discovering many new species. Key words – Ascomycetes – arid and semi-arid area – Central Asia – distribution – inventory – mycobiota – new records Introduction The territory of Southern Uzbekistan includes the Kashkadarya and Surkhandarya regions that are located in the south of Central Asia (Fig1).

This is the first record of the genus Nasocoris Reuter, 1879, in the Balkan peninsula, linking its two previously known disjunct areas of distribution (the Western Mediterranean and the area from Ukraine and Israel to Mongolia). All 15 known species of the genus are reviewed and information on their distribution, host plants, and life cycle is summarized. The first precise records of Nasocoris platycranoides Montandon, 1890 from Spain are added.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships in Ephedra (Gnetales): Evidence from Nuclear and Chloroplast DNA Sequence Data
    Systematic Botany (2004), 29(4): pp. 834±849 q Copyright 2004 by the American Society of Plant Taxonomists Phylogenetic Relationships in Ephedra (Gnetales): Evidence from Nuclear and Chloroplast DNA Sequence Data STEFANIE M. ICKERT-BOND1 and MARTIN F. W OJCIECHOWSKI School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona 85287-4501; 1Author for correspondence. Current Address: Department of Botany, The Field Museum of Natural History, 1400 South Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60605-2496 (sbond@®eldmuseum.org) Communicating Editor: Gregory M. Plunkett ABSTRACT. Sequences from the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region 1 (nrDNA ITS1) and the plastid rps4 gene from the genus Ephedra (Ephedraceae, Gnetales) were obtained in order to infer phylogenetic relationships, char- acter evolution, and historical biogeography in the genus. Within Ephedra the length of the nrDNA ITS1 varied from 1,081 to 1,143 basepairs (bp), in contrast to dramatically shorter lengths in the outgroups (Gnetum, Welwitschia,andPinus). The rps4 locus varied in length from 645 to 661 bp in the same set of taxa. Both parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses of these sequences resulted in a well-resolved phylogeny that supports the monophyly of Ephedra, but not its subdivision into the traditional sections Ephedra, Asarca,andAlatae. The resulting phylogeny also indicates a derivation of the New World clade from among the Old World taxa. Among the Old World species three highly-supported monophyletic groups are recognized that are highly concordant with morphological evidence. The New World clade includes two main subclades of North and South American species that are strongly supported, while the position of two, mostly Mexican species E.
