Mycosphere 10(1), 310–489, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/10/1/7 Abstract Leotiomycetes is regarded as the inoperculate class of discomycetes within the phylum Ascomycota. Taxa are mainly characterized by asci with a simple pore blueing in Melzer’s reagent, although some taxa have lost this character. The monophyly of this class has been verified in several recent molecular studies. However, circumscription of the orders, families and generic level delimitation are still unsettled. This paper provides a modified backbone tree for the class Leotiomycetes based on phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS, LSU, SSU, TEF, and RPB2 loci. In the phylogenetic analysis, Leotiomycetes separates into 19 clades, which can be recognized as orders and order-level clades.

Erstaunlich ist die Vielzahl der Ordnungen, auf die die nicht- lichenisierten Discomyceten verteilt sind. Als Überblick soll die folgende Auflistung dieser Ordnungen dienen, wobei die Zuordnung der Arten u. Gattungen dabei noch sehr im Fluss ist, so dass mit ständigen Änderungen bei der Systematik zu rechnen ist. Es darf davon ausgegangen werden, dass die Lichenisierung bestimmter Arten in vielen Fällen unabhängig voneinander verlorengegangen ist, so dass viele Ordnungen mit üblicherweise lichenisierten Vertretern auch einige wenige sekundär entstandene, nicht-licheniserte Arten enthalten. Eine Aufzählung der zahlreichen Familien innerhalb dieser Ordnungen würde sogar den Rahmen dieser Arbeit sprengen, dafür muss auf Kirk et al. (2008) u. auf die neuste Version des Outline of Ascomycota verwiesen werden (www.fieldmuseum.org/myconet/outline.asp). Die Ordnungen der europäischen nicht-lichenisierten Discomyceten und hypogäischen Ascomyceten Wegen eines fehlenden modernen Buches zur deutschen Discomycetenflora soll hier eine Übersicht über die Ordnungen der Discomyceten mit nicht-lichenisierten Vertretern vorangestellt werden (ca. 18 europäische Ordnungen mit nicht- lichenisierten Discomyceten): Agyriales (zu Lecanorales?)

  • Recent Progress in Enhancing Fungal Disease Resistance in Ornamental Plants
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Recent Progress in Enhancing Fungal Disease Resistance in Ornamental Plants Manjulatha Mekapogu 1, Jae-A Jung 1,* , Oh-Keun Kwon 1, Myung-Suk Ahn 1, Hyun-Young Song 1 and Seonghoe Jang 2,* 1 Floriculture Research Division, National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science, Rural Development Administration, Wanju 55365, Korea; [email protected] (M.M.); [email protected] (O.-K.K.); [email protected] (M.-S.A.); [email protected] (H.-Y.S.) 2 World Vegetable Center Korea Office (WKO), Wanju 55365, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected] (J.-A.J.); [email protected] (S.J.) Abstract: Fungal diseases pose a major threat to ornamental plants, with an increasing percentage of pathogen-driven host losses. In ornamental plants, management of the majority of fungal diseases primarily depends upon chemical control methods that are often non-specific. Host basal resistance, which is deficient in many ornamental plants, plays a key role in combating diseases. Despite their economic importance, conventional and molecular breeding approaches in ornamental plants to facilitate disease resistance are lagging, and this is predominantly due to their complex genomes, limited availability of gene pools, and degree of heterozygosity. Although genetic engineering in ornamental plants offers feasible methods to overcome the intrinsic barriers of classical breeding, achievements have mainly been reported only in regard to the modification of floral attributes in ornamentals. The unavailability of transformation protocols and candidate gene resources for several ornamental crops presents an obstacle for tackling the functional studies on disease resistance. Re- cently, multiomics technologies, in combination with genome editing tools, have provided shortcuts Citation: Mekapogu, M.; Jung, J.-A.; to examine the molecular and genetic regulatory mechanisms underlying fungal disease resistance, Kwon, O.-K.; Ahn, M.-S.; Song, H.-Y.; Jang, S.

Read Full License Page 1/55 Abstract Three little known, morphologically similar species of Sclerotiniaceae which form their apothecia on fallen stromatized Veronica seeds are described and illustrated in detail based on fresh collections or moist chamber cultures of infected seeds: Ciboria ploettneriana, Schroeteria decaisneana, and Schroeteria poeltii. The former two were found on Veronica hederifolia agg. at different sites of temperate central Europe, the latter on V. cymbalaria in a mediterranean region of Spain. The latter two are anamorph-typied and here reported for the rst time with their teleomorph. Ciboria ploettneriana was described by Kirschstein as Sclerotiniaploettneriana on seeds of V. hederifolia agg. but is currently treated in Ciboria. Based on the reexamination of four syntype specimens in B it became evident that Kirschstein confused the two species on V. hederifolia. A lectotype is therefore designated for S. ploettneriana. Members of Schroeteria are specic plant parasites infecting fruits of different Veronica spp.
