Checklist of Argentine Agaricales 4
Checklist of the Argentine Agaricales 4. Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae 1 2* N. NIVEIRO & E. ALBERTÓ 1Instituto de Botánica del Nordeste (UNNE-CONICET). Sargento Cabral 2131, CC 209 Corrientes Capital, CP 3400, Argentina 2Instituto de Investigaciones Biotecnológicas (UNSAM-CONICET) Intendente Marino Km 8.200, Chascomús, Buenos Aires, CP 7130, Argentina CORRESPONDENCE TO *: [email protected] ABSTRACT— A species checklist of 86 genera and 709 species belonging to the families Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae occurring in Argentina, and including all the species previously published up to year 2011 is presented. KEY WORDS—Agaricomycetes, Marasmius, Mycena, Collybia, Clitocybe Introduction The aim of the Checklist of the Argentinean Agaricales is to establish a baseline of knowledge on the diversity of mushrooms species described in the literature from Argentina up to 2011. The families Amanitaceae, Pluteaceae, Hygrophoraceae, Coprinaceae, Strophariaceae, Bolbitaceae and Crepidotaceae were previoulsy compiled (Niveiro & Albertó 2012a-c). In this contribution, the families Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae are presented. Materials & Methods Nomenclature and classification systems This checklist compiled data from the available literature on Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae recorded for Argentina up to the year 2011. Nomenclature and classification systems followed Singer (1986) for families. The genera Pleurotus, Panus, Lentinus, and Schyzophyllum are included in the family Polyporaceae. The Tribe Polyporae (including the genera Polyporus, Pseudofavolus, and Mycobonia) is excluded. There were important rearrangements in the families Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae according to Singer (1986) over time to present. Tricholomataceae was distributed in six families: Tricholomataceae, Marasmiaceae, Physalacriaceae, Lyophyllaceae, Mycenaceae, and Hydnaginaceae. Some genera belonging to this family were transferred to other orders, i.e. Rickenella (Rickenellaceae, Hymenochaetales), and Lentinellus (Auriscalpiaceae, Russulales). -
The Distribution of a Transposase Sequence in Moniliophthora Perniciosa Confirms the Occurrence of Two Genotypes in Bahia, Brazil
Tropical Plant Pathology, vol. 36, 5, 276-286 (2011) Copyright by the Brazilian Phytopathological Society. Printed in Brazil www.sbfito.com.br RESEARCH ARTICLE / ARTIGO The distribution of a transposase sequence in Moniliophthora perniciosa confirms the occurrence of two genotypes in Bahia, Brazil Mariana D.C. Ignacchiti, Mateus F. Santana, Elza F. Araújo & Marisa V. Queiroz Departamento de Microbiologia, BIOAGRO, Universidade Federal de Viçosa, 36571-000, Viçosa, MG, Brazil Author for correspondence: Marisa Vieira de Queiroz, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Transposase sequence analysis is an important technique used to detect the presence of transposable elements in a genome. Putative transposase sequence was analyzed in the genome of the phytopathogenic fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa, the causal agent of witches’ broom disease of cocoa. Sequence comparisons of the predicted transposase peptide indicate a close relationship with the transposases from the elements of the Tc1-Mariner superfamily. The analysis of the distribution of transposase sequence was done by means of PCR and Southern blot techniques in different isolates of the fungus belonging to C-, L-, and S-biotypes and collected from various geographical areas. The distribution profile of the putative transposase sequence suggests the presence of polymorphic copies among the isolates from C-biotypes. The total DNA hybridization profile of each isolate was used to calculate genetic distance and group by the UPGMA method. C-biotype isolates colleted from of the Bahia showed two hybridization profiles for the transposase sequence. Thus the two different fingerprinting profiles for transposase sequence reported here by Southern analysis could also be correlated to the presence of two different genotypes in Bahia, Brazil. -

Moniliophthora Perniciosa
Mares et al. BMC Microbiology (2016) 16:120 DOI 10.1186/s12866-016-0753-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Protein profile and protein interaction network of Moniliophthora perniciosa basidiospores Joise Hander Mares1, Karina Peres Gramacho1,3, Everton Cruz dos Santos1, André da Silva Santiago2, Edson Mário de Andrade Silva1, Fátima Cerqueira Alvim1 and Carlos Priminho Pirovani1* Abstract Background: Witches’ broom, a disease caused by the basidiomycete Moniliophthora perniciosa,isconsideredtobe the most important disease of the cocoa crop in Bahia, an area in the Brazilian Amazon, and also in the other countries where it is found. M. perniciosa germ tubes may penetrate into the host through intact or natural openings in the cuticle surface, in epidermis cell junctions, at the base of trichomes, or through the stomata. Despite its relevance to the fungal life cycle, basidiospore biology has not been extensively investigated. In this study, our goal was to optimize techniques for producing basidiospores for protein extraction, and to produce the first proteomics analysis map of ungerminated basidiospores. We then presented a protein interaction network by using Ustilago maydis as a model. Results: The average pileus area ranged from 17.35 to 211.24 mm2. The minimum and maximum productivity were 23,200 and 6,666,667 basidiospores per basidiome, respectively. The protein yield in micrograms per million basidiospores were approximately 0.161; 2.307, and 3.582 for germination times of 0, 2, and 4 h after germination, respectively. A total of 178 proteins were identified through mass spectrometry. These proteins were classified according to their molecular function and their involvement in biological processes such as cellular energy production, oxidative metabolism, stress, protein synthesis, and protein folding. -

Kropp1* & Steven Albee-Scott2 1Biology Department, 5305 Old Main Hill, Utah State University, Logan, Utah 84322 USA 2Wilbur L. Dungy Endowed Chair of the Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Jackson Community College, 2111 Emmons Road, Jackson, MI USA *Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract — A new species of Moniliophthora is described from the Samoan Islands. The new species is characterized by its bright orange pileus and pale orange stipe and lamellae. It occurs commonly on woody debris in moist littoral forests and has not been found in upland forests. A phylogenetic analysis of nLSU and ITS sequences indicates that Moniliophthora aurantiaca has an affinity with the Central and South American members of the genus. Possible mechanisms for the dispersal of fungi from the Neotropics to the Samoan Islands are discussed. Key words — Agaricales, American Samoa, Crinipellis, Oceania, phylogeny Introduction The mycobiota of the Samoan Islands has received very little attention. What work that has been done consists of an inventory of the wood decay fungi and plant pathogens present in American Samoa (Brooks 2004, 2006) along with the recent description of an Inocybe species from the island of Ta’u (Kropp & Albee-Scott 2010). Our preliminary work on Samoan fungi indicates that the mycoflora of the islands is potentially quite rich and that a number of undescribed species is present. -

This hemibiotroph infects only cacao pods and has an extended biotrophic phase lasting up to sixty days, culminating in plant necrosis and sporulation of the fungus without the formation of a basidiocarp. Results: We sequenced and assembled 52.3 Mb into 3,298 contigs that represent the M. roreri genome. Of the 17,920 predicted open reading frames (OFRs), 13,760 were validated by RNA-Seq. Using read count data from RNA sequencing of cacao pods at 30 and 60 days post infection, differential gene expression was estimated for the biotrophic and necrotrophic phases of this plant-pathogen interaction. The sequencing data were used to develop a genome based secretome for the infected pods. Of the 1,535 genes encoding putative secreted proteins, 1,355 were expressed in the biotrophic and necrotrophic phases. -

Revised Taxonomy and Phylogeny of an Avian-Dispersed Neotropical Rhizomorph-Forming Fungus
Mycological Progress https://doi.org/10.1007/s11557-018-1411-8 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Tying up loose threads: revised taxonomy and phylogeny of an avian-dispersed Neotropical rhizomorph-forming fungus Rachel A. Koch1 & D. Jean Lodge2,3 & Susanne Sourell4 & Karen Nakasone5 & Austin G. McCoy1,6 & M. Catherine Aime1 Received: 4 March 2018 /Revised: 21 May 2018 /Accepted: 24 May 2018 # This is a U.S. Government work and not under copyright protection in the US; foreign copyright protection may apply 2018 Abstract Rhizomorpha corynecarpos Kunze was originally described from wet forests in Suriname. This unusual fungus forms white, sterile rhizomorphs bearing abundant club-shaped branches. Its evolutionary origins are unknown because reproductive struc- tures have never been found. Recent collections and observations of R. corynecarpos were made from Belize, Brazil, Ecuador, Guyana, and Peru. Phylogenetic analyses of three nuclear rDNA regions (internal transcribed spacer, large ribosomal subunit, and small ribosomal subunit) were conducted to resolve the phylogenetic relationship of R. corynecarpos. Results show that this fungus is sister to Brunneocorticium bisporum—a widely distributed, tropical crust fungus. These two taxa along with Neocampanella blastanos form a clade within the primarily mushroom-forming Marasmiaceae. Based on phylogenetic evidence and micromorphological similarities, we propose the new combination, Brunneocorticium corynecarpon, to accommodate this species. Brunneocorticium corynecarpon is a pathogen, infecting the crowns of trees and shrubs in the Neotropics; the long, dangling rhizomorphs with lateral prongs probably colonize neighboring trees. Longer-distance dispersal can be accomplished by birds as it is used as construction material in nests of various avian species. Keywords Agaricales . Fungal systematics . -

ABSTRACT Theobroma cacao, the source of chocolate, is affected by destructive diseases wherever it is grown. Some diseases are endemic; however, as cacao was disseminated from the Amazon rain forest to new cultivation sites it encountered new pathogens. Two well-established diseases cause the greatest losses: black pod rot, caused by several species of Phytophthora, and witches’ broom of cacao, caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa. Phytophthora megakarya causes the severest damage in the main cacao producing countries in West Africa, while P. palmivora causes significant losses globally. M. perniciosa is related to a sister basidiomycete species, M. -
