Forin1, A. Vizzini 2,3,*, S. Nigris1,4, E. Ercole2, S. Voyron2,3, M. Girlanda2,3, B. Baldan1,4,* Key words Abstract Specimens of Nectria spp. and Nectriella rufofusca were obtained from the fungarium of Pier Andrea Saccardo, and investigated via a morphological and molecular approach based on MiSeq technology. ITS1 and ancient DNA ITS2 sequences were successfully obtained from 24 specimens identified as ‘Nectria’ sensu Saccardo (including Ascomycota 20 types) and from the type specimen of Nectriella rufofusca. For Nectria ambigua, N. radians and N. tjibodensis Hypocreales only the ITS1 sequence was recovered. On the basis of morphological and molecular analyses new nomenclatural Illumina combinations for Nectria albofimbriata, N. ambigua, N. ambigua var. pallens, N. granuligera, N. peziza subsp. ribosomal sequences reyesiana, N. radians, N. squamuligera, N. tjibodensis and new synonymies for N. congesta, N. flageoletiana, Sordariomycetes N. phyllostachydis, N. sordescens and N. tjibodensis var. crebrior are proposed. Furthermore, the current classifi- cation is confirmed for Nectria coronata, N. cyanostoma, N. dolichospora, N. illudens, N. leucotricha, N. mantuana, N. raripila and Nectriella rufofusca. This is the first time that these more than 100-yr-old specimens are subjected to molecular analysis, thereby providing important new DNA sequence data authentic for these names.

    Fungal Diversity Preliminary Survey of Bionectriaceae and Nectriaceae (Hypocreales, Ascomycetes) from Jigongshan, China Ye Nong1, 2 and Wen-Ying Zhuang1* 1Key Laboratory of Systematic Mycology and Lichenology, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100080, P.R. China 2Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100039, P.R. China Nong, Y. and Zhuang, W.Y. (2005). Preliminary Survey of Bionectriaceae and Nectriaceae (Hypocreales, Ascomycetes) from Jigongshan, China. Fungal Diversity 19: 95-107. Species of the Bionectriaceae and Nectriaceae are reported for the first time from Jigongshan, Henan Province in the central area of China. Among them, three new species, Cosmospora henanensis, Hydropisphaera jigongshanica and Lanatonectria oblongispora, are described. Three species in Albonectria and Cosmospora are reported for the first time from China. Key words: Cosmospora henanensis, Hydropisphaera jigongshanica, Lanatonectria oblongispora, taxonomy. Introduction Studies on the nectriaceous fungi in China began in the 1930’s (Teng, 1934, 1935, 1936). Teng (1963, 1996) summarised work that had been carried out in China up to the middle of the last century. Recently, specimens of the Bionectriaceae and Nectriaceae deposited in the Mycological Herbarium, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (HMAS) were re- examined (Zhuang and Zhang, 2002; Zhang and Zhuang, 2003a) and additional collections from tropical China were identified (Zhuang, 2000; Zhang and Zhuang, 2003b,c), whereas, those from central regions of China were seldom encountered. Field investigations were carried out in November 2003 in Jigongshan (Mt. Jigong), Henan Province. Eighty-nine collections of the Bionectriaceae and Nectriaceae were obtained. Jigongshan is located in the south of Henan (E114°05′, N31°50′).

The result is an extensive revision of taxonomic concepts, typification, and nomenclatural details of many anamorph- and teleomorph-typified genera of theNectriaceae, most notably Cosmospora and Fusarium. The combined phylogenetic analysis shows that the present concept of Fusarium is not monophyletic and that the genus divides into two large groups, one basal in the family, the other terminal, separated by a large group of species classified in genera such as Calonectria, Neonectria, and Volutella. All accepted genera received high statistical support in the phylogenetic analyses. Preliminary polythetic morphological descriptions are presented for each genus, providing details of perithecia, micro- and/or macro-conidial synanamorphs, cultural characters, and ecological traits.

Characterising plant pathogen communities and their environmental drivers at a national scale A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University by Andreas Makiola Lincoln University, New Zealand 2019 General abstract Plant pathogens play a critical role for global food security, conservation of natural ecosystems and future resilience and sustainability of ecosystem services in general. Thus, it is crucial to understand the large-scale processes that shape plant pathogen communities. The recent drop in DNA sequencing costs offers, for the first time, the opportunity to study multiple plant pathogens simultaneously in their naturally occurring environment effectively at large scale. In this thesis, my aims were (1) to employ next-generation sequencing (NGS) based metabarcoding for the detection and identification of plant pathogens at the ecosystem scale in New Zealand, (2) to characterise plant pathogen communities, and (3) to determine the environmental drivers of these communities. First, I investigated the suitability of NGS for the detection, identification and quantification of plant pathogens using rust fungi as a model system.

  • A New Species of Nectriella with Ornamented Spores from Iceland, with a Key to the Lichenicolous Species
    NOVA HEDWIGIA • BAND XXXV • BRAUNSCHWEIG 1982 • J. CRAMER A New Species of Nectriella with Ornamented Spores from Iceland, with a Key to the Lichenicolous Species by D.L. Hawksworth Commonwealth Agricultural Bureaux, Farnham House, Farnham Royal, Slough SL2 3BN, UK With 2 figures Abstract: Nectriella ornamentata D. Hawksw. sp. nov. is described from aPeltigera species collected in Iceland. It is unique in the genus in having coarsely warted asco• spores borne in asci which are 4-spored when mature. The circumscription of the genus Nectriella Nitschke is discussed and a key to the five lichenicolous species now recognized is presented. N. ornamentata is also compared with Nectria lichenophila Speg. and Polycoccum crassum Vezda, both of which have similarly sized 1-septate spores and 4-spored asci. Attention is drawn to the frequent occurrence of pyreno- carpous fungi with 4-spored asci on Peltigera. Generic circumscription in the nectrioid pyrenomycetes has tradi• tionally been based on the septation of the ascospores. Samuels (1976), Samuels & Rossman (1979) and Rossman (1979, 1982) have correctly recognized the artificial nature of such an approach. Instead, these authors have identified separate groups of species within a widely circumscribed Nectria Fr., relegating many former genera to synonymy. These groups have been distinguished on the basis of the anatomical structure of the perithecium wall, apical ap• paratus of the asci, the type of anamorph produced, and to a lesser extent ascospore ornamentation; many of the groups separated out in this way include species with different types of ascospore septation. These authors have concentrated their efforts on taxa forming super• ficial perithecia, usually on a hyphal subiculum.
