The Distribution and Host Range of Thecaphora Melandrii, with First Records for Britain
KEW BULLETIN (2020) 75:39 ISSN: 0075-5974 (print) DOI 10.1007/S12225-020-09895-3 ISSN: 1874-933X (electronic) The distribution and host range of Thecaphora melandrii, with first records for Britain Paul A. Smith1 , Matthias Lutz2 & Marcin Piątek3 Summary. Thecaphora melandrii (Syd.) Vánky & M.Lutz infects species in the Caryophyllacaeae forming sori with spore balls in the floral organs. We report new finds from Britain, supported by phylogenetic analysis, that confirm its occurrence on Silene uniflora Roth. We review published and web accessible records and note the relatively few records of this smut, its sparse distribution, confined to Europe but scattered predominantly from central to eastern Europe. Analysis of the rDNA ITS and 28S sequences demonstrates little variability among specimens, even those parasitising different host genera, which suggests that the species has evolved relatively recently. Some Microbotryum species infect the same host plants, and we found two species, M. lagerheimii Denchev and M. silenes- inflatae (DC. ex Liro) G.Deml & Oberw., in the same locations as T. melandrii, identified by morphology and molecular phylogenetic analysis. These species may form a stable multi-species community of parasites of Silene uniflora. Key Words. Caryophyllaceae, gall, Glomosporiaceae, Microbotryum, Silene uniflora, smut. Introduction Caryophyllaceae, and specifically on T. melandrii (Syd.) The Caryophyllaceae is a large family of dicotyledonous Vánky & M.Lutz.

Idiopathic CD4 Lymphocytopenia: Spectrum of Opportunistic Infections, Malignancies, and Autoimmune Diseases
Published online: 2021-08-09 REVIEW ARTICLE Idiopathic CD4 Lymphocytopenia: Spectrum of opportunistic infections, malignancies, and autoimmune diseases Dina S. Ahmad, Mohammad Esmadi, William C. Steinmann Department of Internal Medicine, University of Missouri School of Medicine, Columbia, MO, USA Access this article online ABSTRACT Website: www.avicennajmed.com DOI: 10.4103/2231-0770.114121 Idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia (ICL) was first defined in 1992 by the US Centers for Disease Quick Response Code: Control and Prevention (CDC) as the repeated presence of a CD4+ T lymphocyte count of fewer than 300 cells per cubic millimeter or of less than 20% of total T cells with no evidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and no condition that might cause depressed CD4 counts. Most of our knowledge about ICL comes from scattered case reports. The aim of this study was to collect comprehensive data from the previously published cases to understand the characteristics of this rare condition. We searched the PubMed database and Science Direct for case reports since 1989 for Idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia cases. We found 258 cases diagnosed with ICL in 143 published papers. We collected data about age, sex, pathogens, site of infections, CD4 count, CD8 count, CD4:CD8 ratio, presence of HIV risk factors, malignancies, autoimmune diseases and whether the patients survived or died. The mean age at diagnosis of first opportunistic infection (or ICL if no opportunistic infection reported) was 40.7 ± 19.2 years (standard deviation), with a range of 1 to 85. One-sixty (62%) patients were males, 91 (35.2%) were females, and 7 (2.7%) patients were not identified whether males or females. -

Copyright Ó 2010 by the Genetics Society of America DOI: 10.1534/genetics.109.113027 A Tetrad Analysis of the Basidiomycete Fungus Cryptococcus neoformans Alexander Idnurm Division of Cell Biology and Biophysics, School of Biological Sciences, University of Missouri-Kansas City, Kansas City, Missouri 64110 Manuscript received December 10, 2009 Accepted for publication February 9, 2010 ABSTRACT Cryptococcus neoformans is a basidiomycete fungus that is found worldwide and causes disease in humans and animal species. The fungus grows asexually as a budding yeast. Under laboratory conditions it is capable of sexual reproduction between two mating types. After cell fusion a dikaryotic filament develops, at the tip of which a basidium gives rise to four chains of basidiospores. Because the chains each comprise 10–30 spores, rather than single spores, the analysis of individual meiotic events has not been attempted in C. neoformans in the style of tetrad analyses performed in other fungal species. Here, the basidiospores from .100 basidia were micromanipulated and the resultant .2500 progeny analyzed for three genetic markers to understand the sexual process in this fungus, leading to four observations: (i) Marker seg- regation provides genetic evidence for a single meiotic event within the basidium followed by multiple rounds of mitosis. (ii) Using each basidium as an unordered tetrad, the ADE2 and URA5 genes are linked to their centromeres, consistent with adjacent genomic regions rich in repetitive elements predicted to comprise Cryptococcus centromeres. (iii) Lack of germination of basidiospores is attributed to aneuploidy, rather than dormancy. (iv) Analysis of basidiospores derived from single chains demonstrates that each chain can contain different genotypes. -

Anther Smuts of Caryophyllaceae: Molecular Characters Indicate Host-Dependent Species Delimitation+
Mycological Progress 4(3): 225–238, August 2005 225 Anther smuts of Caryophyllaceae: molecular characters indicate host-dependent species delimitation+ Matthias LUTZ1,*, Markus GÖKER1, Marcin PIATEK2, Martin KEMLER1, Dominik BEGEROW1, and Franz OBERWINKLER1 Phylogenetic relationships of Microbotryum species (Urediniomycetes, Basidiomycota) inhabiting anthers of Caryophyllaceae were investigated by molecular analyses using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences and collections from different host plants. The data show that the current taxonomy of Microbotryum on Caryophyllaceae is only partly satisfactory. Micro- botryum violaceum is confirmed to be a paraphyletic grouping and is split up in monophyletic groups. Microbotryum silenes- inflatae and M. violaceo-verrucosum appear as polyphyletic. Host data are in good agreement with molecular results. Two new species, Microbotryum chloranthae-verrucosum and M. saponariae, are described based on morphological, ecological, and molecular characteristics. An emended circumscription of Microbotryum dianthorum is given. The name Ustilago major (= Microbotryum major) is lectotypified. Taxonomic novelties: Microbotryum chloranthae-verrucosum M. Lutz, Göker, M. Piatek, Kemler, Begerow et Oberw.; Microbotryum saponariae M. Lutz, Göker, M. Piatek, Kemler, Begerow et Oberw.
