The Culture-Independent Analysis of Fungal Endophytes of Wheat Grown in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa
THE CULTURE-INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS OF FUNGAL ENDOPHYTES OF WHEAT GROWN IN KWAZULU-NATAL, SOUTH AFRICA By Richard Jörn Burgdorf Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY In Microbiology School of Life Sciences College of Agriculture, Engineering and Science Pietermaritzburg South Africa December 2016 Thesis summary Fungal endophytes are of interest due to their diverse taxonomy and biological functions. A range of definitions exists based on their identity, morphology, location and relationship with their host. Fungal endophytes belong to a wide range of taxa and they are categorized by a variety of characteristics. The detection and identification of these fungal endophytes can be performed using culture-dependent and culture-independent methods. These organisms have a range of application in pharmaceutical discovery and agriculture. Agricultural applications include the exploitation of the growth promoting and protective properties of fungal endophytes in crops such as wheat. This important crop is grown in South Africa where biotic and environmental stresses pose a challenge to its cultivation. Fungal endophytes have demonstrated potential to ameliorate these challenges. Future research will reveal how they can be harnessed to fight food insecurity brought about by stress factors such as climate change. Extraneous DNA interferes with PCR studies of endophytic fungi. A procedure was developed with which to evaluate the removal of extraneous DNA. Wheat (Triticum aestivum) leaves were sprayed with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and then subjected to physical and chemical surface treatments. The fungal ITS1 products were amplified from whole tissue DNA extractions. ANOVA was performed on the DNA bands representing S. cerevisiae on the agarose gel. -
Bitter Rot of Apples
Bitter Rot of Apples: Recent Changes in What We Know and Implications for Disease Management (A review of recent literature and perspectives on what we still need to learn) Compiled for a presentation at the Cumberland-Shenandoah Fruit Workers Conference in Winchester, VA, December 1-2, 2016 Dave Rosenberger, Plant Pathologist and Professor Emeritus Cornell’s Hudson Valley Lab, Highland, NY Apple growers, private consultants, and extension specialists have all noted that bitter rot is increasingly common and is causing sporadic but economically significant losses throughout the northeastern and north central apple growing regions of North America. Forty years ago, bitter rot was considered a “southern disease” and apples with bitter rot were rarely observed in northern production regions. Four factors have probably contributed to the increasing incidence of bitter rot in these regions. First, as a result of global warming, we have more days during summer with warm wetting events that are essential for initiating bitter rot infections and perhaps for increasing inoculum within orchards before the bitter rot pathogens move to apple fruit. Second, some new cultivars (e.g., Honeycrisp) are very susceptible to infection. Third, we are also growing more late-maturing cultivars such as Cripps Pink that may be picked in early November, and these cultivars may need additional fungicide sprays during September and/or early October if they are to be fully protected from bitter rot. Finally, mancozeb fungicides are very effective against Colletotrichum species, and the season-long use of mancozeb may have suppressed Colletotrichum populations in apple orchards prior to 1990 when the mancozeb labels were changed to prohibit applications during summer (i.e., within 77 days of harvest). -

Chaetomium convolutum and C. hexagonosporum from Italy with a morphological revision of the group-bostrychodes Francesco DOVERI Abstract: Chaetomium convolutum, newly isolated from herbivore dung in a survey of coprophilous asco- mycetes and basidiomycetes, is first described from Italy and compared with other species of the so called “group-bostrychodes”. The taxonomic uncertainty, still present in this group despite a recent comparative, morphological and molecular study, led the author to revise all Italian collections of species related to C. convolutum, and to prove that also the very rare C. hexagonosporum is present in Italy. The morphological Ascomycete.org, 8 (5) : 185-198. features of C. hexagonosporum are described in detail and particularly compared with those of C. convolutum. Novembre 2016 The results of this review confirm the existence of several intermediates in the group-bostrychodes, for which Mise en ligne le 3/11/2016 a much more extended revision is hoped. Keywords: cellulose, Chaetomiun bostrychodes, Chaetomium robustum, coprophilous fungi, morphological study. Riassunto: Chaetomium convolutum, isolato recentemente da escrementi di erbivori in un’ indagine sugli ascomiceti e basidiomiceti coprofili, è descritto per la prima volta in Italia e messo a confronto con altre specie del cosiddetto "gruppo-bostrychodes". L'incertezza tassonomica, ancora presente in questo gruppo nonostante un recente studio comparativo, morfologico e molecolare, ha indotto l'autore a rivedere tutte le raccolte italiane correlate a C. convolutum, e a dimostrare che anche il molto raro C. hexagonosporum è presente in Italia. Le caratteristiche morfologiche di C. hexagonosporum sono dettagliatamente descritte e in modo particolare confrontate con quelle di C. convolutum. -

New record of Chaetomium species isolated from soil under pineapple plantation in Thailand. Journal of Agricultural Technology 4(2): 91-103. Chaetomium species were isolated from soil in pineapple plantations in Phatthalung and Rayong provinces by soil plate and baiting techniques. Taxonomic study was based on available dichotomously keys and monograph of the genus. Five species are recorded as follows: C. aureum, C. bostrychodes, C. cochliodes, C. cupreum and C. gracile. Another four species are reported to be new records in Thailand as follows: C. carinthiacum, C. flavigenum, C. perlucidum and C. succineum. Key words: Chaetomium, Taxonomic study Introduction Chaetomium is a fungus belonging to Ascomycota of the family Chaetomiaceae which established by Kunze in 1817 (von Arx et al., 1986). Chaetomium Kunze is one of the largest genera of saprophytic ascomycetes which comprise more than 300 species worldwide (von Arx et al., 1986; Soytong and Quimio, 1989; Decock and Hennebert, 1997; Udagawa et al., 1997; Rodríguez et al., 2002). Approximately 20 species have been recorded in Thailand (Table 1). -

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. -

PREFACE Phylogenetic revision of taxonomic concepts in the Following the lead primarily initiated by Lombard et al. (Stud. Hypocreales and other Ascomycota - A tribute to Mycol. 66, 2010), this approach was followed here by Gräfenhan et Gary J. Samuels al. and Schroers et al. in their revisions of parts of Fusarium sensu Wollenweber and Acremonium by Summerbell et al. This volume of Studies in Mycology is something of a successor Option 2 – Teleomorph priority with anamorphic species epithets. to another issue of the same journal published a decade ago, Transfer of anamorphic epithets to teleomorph genera for species "Molecules, Morphology and Classification: Towards Monophyletic that lack known teleomorphs. New teleomorph generic names Genera in the Ascomycetes’ (vol. 45, edited by Seifert, Gams, are described when teleomorphs are discovered, irrespective of Crous & Samuels 2000). In that issue, the authors grappled with whether a previously described anamorph generic name exists. questions of integrating the new phylogenetic information derived This option maintains the primacy of teleomorph names at both from DNA sequencing into a classification system that was already complicated by the need to accommodate fungal pleomorphy.
