  • Molecular Phylogeny of Ustilago and Sporisorium Species (Basidiomycota, Ustilaginales) Based on Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) Sequences1
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen 976 Molecular phylogeny of Ustilago and Sporisorium species (Basidiomycota, Ustilaginales) based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences1 Matthias Stoll, Meike Piepenbring, Dominik Begerow, Franz Oberwinkler Abstract: DNA sequence data from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear rDNA genes were used to determine a phylogenetic relationship between the graminicolous smut genera Ustilago and Sporisorium (Ustilaginales). Fifty-three members of both genera were analysed together with three related outgroup genera. Neighbor-joining and Bayesian inferences of phylogeny indicate the monophyly of a bipartite genus Sporisorium and the monophyly of a core Ustilago clade. Both methods confirm the recently published nomenclatural change of the cane smut Ustilago scitaminea to Sporisorium scitamineum and indicate a putative connection between Ustilago maydis and Sporisorium. Overall, the three clades resolved in our analyses are only weakly supported by morphological char- acters. Still, their preferences to parasitize certain subfamilies of Poaceae could be used to corroborate our results: all members of both Sporisorium groups occur exclusively on the grass subfamily Panicoideae. The core Ustilago group mainly infects the subfamilies Pooideae or Chloridoideae. Key words: basidiomycete systematics, ITS, molecular phylogeny, Bayesian analysis, Ustilaginomycetes, smut fungi.

Taxa within the complex often possess characters that occur in more than one genus, creating uncertainty for species smut fungi placement. Previous studies have indicated that the genera cannot be separated based on morphology alone. systematics Here we chronologically review the history of the Ustilago-Sporisorium-Macalpinomyces complex, argue for its Ustilaginaceae resolution and suggest methods to accomplish a stable taxonomy. A combined molecular and morphological ap- proach is required to identify synapomorphic characters that underpin a new classification. Ustilago, Sporisorium and Macalpinomyces require explicit re-description and new genera, based on monophyletic groups, are needed to accommodate taxa that no longer fit the emended descriptions. A resolved classification will end the taxonomic confusion that surrounds generic placement of these smut fungi.

In nature, infection by Ustilago segetum var. tritici is organ specific i.e. via the ovary, and it is possible only during the relatively short period of flowering of the host. In the field, there are two methods of inoculation; dry method and wetable method. An extensive work has been done in many countries of the world for identifying sources of resistance to that disease, since breeding for resistance may be one of the most effective methods for controlling the disease. Loose smut causes a reduction in agronomic charactesrs. Yield is an ultimate product of the action and interaction of a number of quantitative characters, which are known to be controlled by different sets of polygenes. Therefore, ombining ability studies are used by plant breeders to select parents with maximum potential of transmitting desirable genes to the progenies. The estimation of combining ability is very useful because the variance due to general combining ability is attributed to additive gene action, while the variance due to specific combining ability is attributed to non-additive gene action.

Wang1, B. Theelen2, M. Groenewald2, F.-Y. Bai1,2, T. Boekhout1,2,3,4 Key words Abstract Ustilaginomycotina (Basidiomycota, Fungi) has been reclassified recently based on multiple gene sequence analyses. However, the phylogenetic placement of two yeast-like genera Malassezia and Moniliella in fungi the subphylum remains unclear. Phylogenetic analyses using different algorithms based on the sequences of six molecular phylogeny genes, including the small subunit (18S) ribosomal DNA (rDNA), the large subunit (26S) rDNA D1/D2 domains, smuts the internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS 1 and 2) including 5.8S rDNA, the two subunits of RNA polymerase II taxonomy (RPB1 and RPB2) and the translation elongation factor 1-α (EF1-α), were performed to address their phylogenetic yeasts positions. Our analyses indicated that Malassezia and Moniliella represented two deeply rooted lineages within Ustilaginomycotina and have a sister relationship to both Ustilaginomycetes and Exobasidiomycetes. Those clades are described here as new classes, namely Moniliellomycetes with order Moniliellales, family Moniliellaceae, and genus Moniliella; and Malasseziomycetes with order Malasseziales, family Malasseziaceae, and genus Malasse- zia. Phenotypic differences support this classification suggesting widely different life styles among the mainly plant pathogenic Ustilaginomycotina.

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.

Diversity, taxonomy, and ecology of plant parasitic smut fungi in Bolivia* Diversidad, taxonomía y ecología de hongos carbones parasíticos de Bolivia Meike Piepenbring Botanisches Institut, J. W. Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main, Senckenberganlage 31-33, 60054 Frankfurt am Main, Germany FAX: 0049 69 798 24822, Correo electrónico: [email protected] Abstract Plant parasitic smut fungi were recently collected in Bolivia and looked for in herbarium collections of fungi and higher plants. Together with records found in literature the resulting check list contains 46 different species of smut fungi on about 55 species of host plants. Among the smut fungi, Bauerago boliviana is a species new for science, Sporisorium braziliensis, Sporisorium paspali-notati, and Sporisorium tristachyae are new combinations. 25 species of smut fungi are new for Bolivia, nine species of higher plants are reported for the first time as host species for known species of smut fungi. Depending on the altitudinal level the composition of smut species diversity changes, but apparently not the number of different species in a given area. Smut fungi were mainly found in humid environment, except Ustilago hypodytes. Ecological and morphological aspects related to this observation are discussed. Key words: Basidiomycota, Bauerago boliviana, Sporisorium new combinations, Ustilaginales, Tilletiales.

  • Morphological, Genetic and Molecular Analysis of the Mating Process In
    Morphological, genetic and molecular analysis of the mating process in Ustilago hordei by Alfredo Dick Martinez-Espinoza A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Pathology Montana State University © Copyright by Alfredo Dick Martinez-Espinoza (1993) Abstract: Ustilago hordei is a pathogenic basidiomycete that causes covered smut of barley. Mating in U. hordei, which is controlled by a single locus with two alleles, results in the conversion of haploid, non-pathogenic yeast-like sporidia to dikaryotic, pathogenic mycelium. Mating is one of the most important steps in the U. hordei life cycle, initiating the sexual phase of this fungus. An improved medium to test the mating reaction and genetic complementation was developed. The addition of activated charcoal to a variety of media enhanced the stability and intensity of the mating reaction. Complementation assays using minimal media containing activated charcoal demonstrated allelism of auxotrophic mutations. The ease and reliability of the mating test allowed for rapid identification of the mating type of unknown isolates and progeny of crosses, and also provided a dependable procedure for performing complementation assays. A comprehensive morphological analysis of the mating process was performed. Evidence of mating-type specific, diffusible, small molecular weight factors was found when sporidia separated by a dialysis membrane were capable of inducing conjugation tube formation by cells of the opposite mating-type. This indicates that these compounds were necessary for recognition of opposite mating-type cells. Genetic control of the mating process was analyzed by the use of mating defective mutants, which were isolated using charcoal-containing media.
