  • Retrospective Analysis of Lophodermium Seditiosum Epidemics in Estonia

Edition (2007) 31-45 Retrospective Analysis of Lophodermium seditiosum Epidemics in Estonia * Märt HANSO – Rein DRENKHAN Estonian University of Life Sciences, Institute of Forestry and Rural Engineering, Tartu, Estonia Abstract – The needle trace method (NTM), created and developed by the Finnish forest pathologists prof. T. Kurkela, dr. R. Jalkanen and T. Aalto during the last decade of the XX century, has been already used by several researchers of different countries for retrospective analysis of needle diseases (Hypodermella sulcigena , by R. Jalkanen et al. in Finland) or herbivorous insect pests of Scots pine (Diprion pini, by T. Kurkela et al. in Finland; Bupalus piniaria , by H. Armour et al. in Scotland), but as well of pests of Sitka spruce (Gilpinia hercyniae , by D.T. Williams et al. in England). Scots pine in forest nurseries and young plantations of Estonia is often but irregularly suffering from the epidemics of the needle cast fungus Lophodermium seditiosum . Current environmental regulations exclude from the regulatory (control) measures all the others except of well-argued prophylactic systems, built up on reliable prognoses. The last is inconceivable without the availability of a reliable, as well, and long- lasting retrospective time-series of L. seditiosum epidemics, which, as it is known from the last half of the XX century, are occupying large forest areas, usually not least than a half of (the small) Estonia. An appropriate time-series would be useful, as well, for the more basic understanding of the accelerated mortality processes during the stand formation in early pole-age Scots pine plantations.

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.

  • A Taxonomic and Phylogenetic Investigation of Conifer Endophytes
    A Taxonomic and Phylogenetic Investigation of Conifer Endophytes of Eastern Canada by Joey B. Tanney A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biology Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016 Abstract Research interest in endophytic fungi has increased substantially, yet is the current research paradigm capable of addressing fundamental taxonomic questions? More than half of the ca. 30,000 endophyte sequences accessioned into GenBank are unidentified to the family rank and this disparity grows every year. The problems with identifying endophytes are a lack of taxonomically informative morphological characters in vitro and a paucity of relevant DNA reference sequences. A study involving ca. 2,600 Picea endophyte cultures from the Acadian Forest Region in Eastern Canada sought to address these taxonomic issues with a combined approach involving molecular methods, classical taxonomy, and field work. It was hypothesized that foliar endophytes have complex life histories involving saprotrophic reproductive stages associated with the host foliage, alternative host substrates, or alternate hosts. Based on inferences from phylogenetic data, new field collections or herbarium specimens were sought to connect unidentifiable endophytes with identifiable material. Approximately 40 endophytes were connected with identifiable material, which resulted in the description of four novel genera and 21 novel species and substantial progress in endophyte taxonomy. Endophytes were connected with saprotrophs and exhibited reproductive stages on non-foliar tissues or different hosts. These results provide support for the foraging ascomycete hypothesis, postulating that for some fungi endophytism is a secondary life history strategy that facilitates persistence and dispersal in the absence of a primary host.

Mycosphere 10(1), 798–1079, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/10/1/19 Abstract Endophytic fungi are symptomless internal inhabits of plant tissues. They are implicated in the production of antibiotic and other compounds of therapeutic importance. Ecologically they provide several benefits to plants, including protection from plant pathogens. There have been numerous studies on the biodiversity and ecology of endophytic fungi. Some taxa dominate and occur frequently when compared to others due to adaptations or capabilities to produce different primary and secondary metabolites. It is therefore of interest to examine different fungal species and major taxonomic groups to which these fungi belong for bioactive compound production. In the present paper a list of endophytes based on the available literature is reported. More than 800 genera have been reported worldwide. Dominant genera are Alternaria, Aspergillus, Colletotrichum, Fusarium, Penicillium, and Phoma. Most endophyte studies have been on angiosperms followed by gymnosperms. Among the different substrates, leaf endophytes have been studied and analyzed in more detail when compared to other parts. Most investigations are from Asian countries such as China, India, European countries such as Germany, Spain and the UK in addition to major contributions from Brazil and the USA.

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?)
