    CHAPTER 3 THE GENUS Oxydothis AND ITS PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIP WITHIN THE XYLARIALES 3.1. Introduction Oxydothis Penz. and Sacc. (Xylariales) includes more than 70 ascomycete species, which are saprobic, endophytic or parasitic on members of the Gramineae, Liliaceae, Palmae and Pandanaceae (Penzig and Saccardo, 1897; Hyde et al., 2000). The genus is typified by Oxydothis grisea Penz. and Sacc. (Penzig and Saccardo, 1897) and delimited based on morphological features such as long cylindrical asci with a J+ subapical apparatus; and long fusiform to filiform, hyaline, bicelled ascospores, which taper from the centre to spine±like ends, pointed or rounded processes (Penzig and Saccardo, 1897; Hyde, 1994a, b). The familial placement of Oxydothis, however, is still tentative. There is uncertainty as to which morphological characters should be used to delimit the genus as its taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships with other members of the Xylariales are still not resolved. Based on morphological similarities with Leiosphaerella Höhn., and presence of horizontal and clypeate ascomata, Oxydothis was placed within the Amphisphaeriaceae (Müller and Arx, 1962, 1976; Wehmeyer 1975; Samuels and Rossman, 1987). The genus was, however, referred to the Physosporellaceae (Phyllacorales) by Barr (1976) and later transferred to the Hyponectriaceae based on the perithecial ascomata with papillate ostiole and cylindrical asci (Hawksworth et al., 1995). A scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) study of the ultrastructure of the 151 Oxydothis ascus could not resolve the generic and familial affiliations of Oxydothis (Wong and Hyde, 1999). Wang and Hyde (1999) excluded Oxydothis from the Hyponectriaceae based on the arrangement of the ascomata, structure of the asci and ascospores which are unlike Hyponectria buxi.

Si is known to effectively mitigate various environmental stresses and enhance plant resistance against both fungal and bacterial pathogens. In this review, the effects of Si on plant–pathogen interactions are analyzed, mainly on physical, biochemical, and molecular aspects. In most cases, the Si-induced biochemical/molecular resistance during plant–pathogen interactions were dominated as joint resistance, involving activating defense-related enzymes activates, stimulating antimicrobial compound production, regulating the complex network of signal pathways, and activating of the expression of defense-related genes.

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.

  • Long-Term Effects of Straw and Straw-Derived Biochar on Soil Aggregation and Fungal Community in a Rice&Ndash
    Long-term effects of straw and straw-derived biochar on soil aggregation and fungal community in a rice–wheat rotation system Naling Bai1,2,*, Hanlin Zhang1,2,*, Shuangxi Li1,2, Xianqing Zheng1,2, Juanqin Zhang1,2, Haiyun Zhang1,2, Sheng Zhou1,2, Huifeng Sun1,2 and Weiguang Lv1,2,3 1 Eco-environmental Protection Research Institute, Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Science, Shanghai, China 2 Agricultural Environment and Farmland Conservation Experiment Station of Ministry Agriculture, Shanghai, China 3 Shanghai Key Laboratory of Protected Horticultural Technology, Shanghai, China * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT Background: Soil aggregation is fundamental for soil functioning and agricultural productivity. Aggregate formation depends on microbial activity influencing the production of exudates and hyphae, which in turn act as binding materials. Fungi are also important for improving soil quality and promoting plant growth in a symbiotic manner. There is a scarcity of findings comparing the long-term impacts of different yearly double-crop straw return modes (e.g., straw return to the field and straw-derived biochar return to the field) on soil aggregation and fungal community structure in rice–wheat rotation systems. Methods: The effects of 6-year continuous straw and straw-derived biochar amendment on soil physicochemical properties and the fungal community were evaluated in an intensively managed crop rotation system (rice–wheat). Soil samples of different aggregates (macroaggregates, microaggregates, and silt clay) from Submitted 14 October 2018 four different fertilization regimes (control, CK; traditional inorganic fertilization, 27 November 2018 Accepted CF; straw returned to field, CS; straw-derived biochar addition, CB) were obtained, Published 4 January 2019 and Illumina MiSeq sequencing analysis of the fungal internal transcribed Corresponding author Weiguang Lv, spacer gene was performed.

  • Taxonomic and Phylogenetic Re-Evaluation of Microdochium, Monographella and Idriella
    Persoonia 36, 2016: 57– 82 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/pimj RESEARCH ARTICLE http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/003158516X688676 Taxonomic and phylogenetic re-evaluation of Microdochium, Monographella and Idriella M. Hernández-Restrepo1,2, J.Z. Groenewald1, P.W. Crous1,2,3,4 Key words Abstract Based on morphology and DNA sequence data the taxonomic relationships of Microdochium, Mono­ graphella and Idriella were reassessed. Microdochium is morphologically and phylogenetically circumscribed, and cereals the sexual genus Monographella treated as synonym on the basis that Microdochium has more species, is more grasses commonly encountered, and more frequently used in literature. An epitype is designated for Microdochium phrag­ phytopathogenic fungi mites, and several well-known species are redefined based on their morphology and DNA sequence data (LSU, ITS, Sordariomycetes BTUB and RPB2). Furthermore, the revision of Microdochium led to six new combinations (M. albescens, M. con­ Xylariales sociatum, M. fusariisporum, M. maydis, M. opuntiae and M. stevensonii) and six new species (M. citrinidiscum, M. colom­ biense, M. fisheri, M. neoqueenslandicum, M. seminicola and M. trichocladiopsis) being proposed. Microdochium s.str. belongs to a monophyletic clade, together with Idriella lunata and Selenodriella, representing a new family, Microdochiaceae, in Xylariales. Other species previously accommodated in Microdochium belong to different orders in the Ascomycota. Microdochium gracile belongs to Sordariomycetes (incertae sedis) and Paramicrodochium is proposed to accommodate this species. Microdochium tripsaci belongs to Ephelis in Clavicipitaceae, while M. fusa­ rioides belongs to a new genus, Microdochiella in Orbiliales. Idriella s.str. is a monotypic genus phylogenetically closely related to Microdochium. Idriella s.l. separates into different genera in Xylariales (incertae sedis) including Castanediella, Selenodriella, Idriellopsis, Neoidriella and Paraidriella, the last three proposed here as new genera.

  • Hyponectria Buxi with Notes on the Hyponectriaceae
    Fungal Diversity Hyponectria buxi with notes on the Hyponectriaceae You-Zhi Wang* and Kevin D. Hyde Centre for Research in Fungal Diversity, Department of Ecology and Biodiversity, The University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam Road, Hong Kong; * e-mail: [email protected] Wang, Y.Z. and Hyde, K.D. (1999). Hyponectria buxi with notes on the Hyponectriaceae. Fungal Diversity 3: 159-172. Hyponectria buxi, the type species of Hyponectria, and the type genus of the family Hyponectriaceae is described and illustrated in this paper. The main characteristics of the family are discussed and notes are provided on other genera included in this family. Key words: Amphisphaeriaceae, Clypeosphaeriaceae, Hyponectriaceae, Xylariales Introduction Hyponectria buxi (DC. ex Desm.) Sacc., was originally described by Saccardo (1878, 1883). Petrak (1923) recognized that this species should be separated from the Hypocreaceae and introduced the Hyponectriaceae to accommodate both Hyponectria and Anisostomula. The Physosporelleen (Hohnel, 1919) is the earlier, but invalid name for the family. Arx and Mtiller (1954) included both Hyponectria and Anisostomula in the Polystigmataceae, but later Muller and Arx (1962) arranged them in the Amphisphaeriaceae, as did Dennis (1968) and Mtiller and Arx (1973). Barr (1976) recognized two families, the Physosporellaceae (an invalid name) and the Melogrammataceae, and united Anisostomula and Hyponectria. Barr (1990) provided a description of the family, while the Dictionary of the Fungi (Hawksworth et al., 1995) refer 17 genera to the Hyponectriaceae. Many genera have recently been disposed of in the family, but as Hyde et al. (1998a) state, until a good description of the type species is provided, the characters that make up the family are confusing.

  • Mnogotere Vloge Silicija Izboljšajo Uspevanje Rastlin
    ACTA BIOLOGICA SLOVENICA LJUBLJANA 2018 Vol. 62, Št. 1: 3–57 Mnogotere vloge silicija izboljšajo uspevanje rastlin Multiple roles of silicon benefit plants Mateja Grašič Oddelek za biologijo, Biotehniška fakulteta, Univerza v Ljubljani, Večna pot 111, 1000 Ljubljana Correspondence: [email protected] Izvleček: Prispevek na podlagi širokega pregleda literature obravnava vlogo si- licija pri rastlinah, od same pojavnosti silicija v tleh preko mehanizmov privzema in prenosa, do nalaganja in deleža silicija v rastlinah. Članek nadalje zajema evolucijski vidik pojavnosti silicija pri rastlinah ter izpostavlja njegove ključne vloge pri uspe- vanju rastlin in blaženju negativnih učinkov številnih stresnih dejavnikov ter njegovo uporabnost v kmetijstvu. Ključne besede: silicij, rastline, evolucija, blaženje stresa, kmetijstvo Abstract: This paper includes broad literature review about silicon in plants from its appearance in soils to mechanisms of uptake and transport, and finally accumula- tion and content of silicon in plants. Furthermore, the evolutionary aspect of silicon in plants and its key role for plant growth and development by mitigating negative effects of various stress factors is highlighted along with its application in agronomy. Keywords: silicon, plants, evolution, stress mitigation, agronomy Uvod (K): 0,8–8 %, žveplo (S): 0,1–1,5 %, kalcij (Ca): Silicij (Si) zaseda drugo mesto med 0,1–6 % in magnezij (Mg): 0,05–1 %) (Epstein najpogostejšimi elementi, ki se pojavljajo v tleh 1983, 1994, Epstein in Bloom 2005) ugotovimo, (Epstein 1994) in v zemeljski skorji, takoj za da največjo variabilnost glede pojavljanja v ras- kisikom (O) (Mason 1966).

  • <I>Microdochium, Monographella</I>
    Persoonia 36, 2016: 57– 82 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/pimj RESEARCH ARTICLE http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/003158516X688676 Taxonomic and phylogenetic re-evaluation of Microdochium, Monographella and Idriella M. Hernández-Restrepo1,2, J.Z. Groenewald1, P.W. Crous1,2,3,4 Key words Abstract Based on morphology and DNA sequence data the taxonomic relationships of Microdochium, Mono­ graphella and Idriella were reassessed. Microdochium is morphologically and phylogenetically circumscribed, and cereals the sexual genus Monographella treated as synonym on the basis that Microdochium has more species, is more grasses commonly encountered, and more frequently used in literature. An epitype is designated for Microdochium phrag­ phytopathogenic fungi mites, and several well-known species are redefined based on their morphology and DNA sequence data (LSU, ITS, Sordariomycetes BTUB and RPB2). Furthermore, the revision of Microdochium led to six new combinations (M. albescens, M. con­ Xylariales sociatum, M. fusariisporum, M. maydis, M. opuntiae and M. stevensonii) and six new species (M. citrinidiscum, M. colom­ biense, M. fisheri, M. neoqueenslandicum, M. seminicola and M. trichocladiopsis) being proposed. Microdochium s.str. belongs to a monophyletic clade, together with Idriella lunata and Selenodriella, representing a new family, Microdochiaceae, in Xylariales. Other species previously accommodated in Microdochium belong to different orders in the Ascomycota. Microdochium gracile belongs to Sordariomycetes (incertae sedis) and Paramicrodochium is proposed to accommodate this species. Microdochium tripsaci belongs to Ephelis in Clavicipitaceae, while M. fusa­ rioides belongs to a new genus, Microdochiella in Orbiliales. Idriella s.str. is a monotypic genus phylogenetically closely related to Microdochium. Idriella s.l. separates into different genera in Xylariales (incertae sedis) including Castanediella, Selenodriella, Idriellopsis, Neoidriella and Paraidriella, the last three proposed here as new genera.
