  • Systematics and Phylogeny of Cordyceps and the Clavicipitaceae with Emphasis on the Evolution of Host Affiliation

    Systematics and Phylogeny of Cordyceps and the Clavicipitaceae with Emphasis on the Evolution of Host Affiliation

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Gi-Ho Sung for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Botany and Plant Pathology presented on December 1. 2005. Title: Systematics and Phylogeny of Cordyceps and the Clavicipitaceae with Emphasis on the Evolution of Host Affiliation Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Cordyceps is a genus of perithecial ascomycetes. It includes over 400 species that are pathogens of arthropods and parasites of the truffle genus Elaphomyces. Based on the morphology of cylindrical asci, thickened ascusapices and fihiform ascospores, it is classified in the Clavicipitaceae (Hypocreales), which also includes endophytes and epiphytes of the grass family (e.g., Claviceps and Epichloe). Multi-gene phylogenetic analyses rejected the monophyly of the Clavicipitaceae. Clavicipitaceous fungi formed three strongly supported clades of which one was monophyletic with the Hypocreaceae. Furthermore, the monophyly of Cordyceps was also rejected as all three clades of Clavicipitaceae included species of the genus. These results did not support the utility of most of the characters (e.g., ascospore morphology and host affiliation) used in current classifications and warranted significant taxonomic revisions of both Cordyceps and the Clavicipitaceae. Therefore, taxonomic revisions were made to more accurately reflect phylogenetic relationships. One new family Ophiocordycipitaceae was proposed and two families (Clavicipitaceae and Cordycipitaceae) were emended for the three clavicipitaceous clades. Species of Cordyceps were reclassified into Cordyceps sensu stricto, Elaphocordyceps gen. nov., Metacordyceps gen. nov., and Ophiocordyceps and a total of 147 new combinations were proposed. In teleomorph-anamorph connection, the phylogeny of the Clavicipitaceae s. 1. was also useful in characterizing the polyphyly of Verticillium sect.

  • A Phylogenetic Analysis of Poaceae Tribe Poeae Sensu Lato Based On

    A Phylogenetic Analysis of Poaceae Tribe Poeae Sensu Lato Based On

    KEW BULLETIN 62: 425-454 (2007) 425 A phylogenetic analysis of Poaceae tribe Poeae sensu lato based on morphological characters and sequence data from three plastid-encoded genes: evidence for reticulation, and a new classification for the tribe Robert J. Soreng1, Jerrold I. Davis2 & Monica A. Voionmaa2 Summary. Phylogenetic analysis of variation in 18 morphological characters and structural and nucleotide sequence variation in three plastid-encoded genes provides a well-supported hypothesis of relationships within Poaceae supertribe Poodae. This supertribe includes tribes Poeae, Aveneae and Hainardieae, and other small tribes. Of the circa 135 genera that are assigned to this group, 57 were sampled, representing all major groups and most of the minor groups that have been recognised as tribes or subtribes. Historical and modern classifications of Poodae are reviewed and examined with respect to relationships detected by the phylogenetic analyses. Two major plastid DNA lineages are detected, corresponding in general to groups traditionally recognised as Aveneae and Poeae, but about one fifth of the genera are placed in positions that conflict with traditional classifications. When comparing trees obtained from the morphological character set with those obtained from simultaneous analysis of the morphological and molecular character sets, the character distributions on the trees reveal substantial differences between homoplasy levels for several morphological characters. These results suggest the possibility of wide hybrid origins for some groups, especially the subtribe Airinae. A revised classification is provided for Poodae, with all previously recognised tribes subsumed within a broadly circumscribed Poeae sensu lato, in which accepted genera are accommodated in 21 subtribes. Aveneae and smaller groups that have been recognised previously as tribes, including Hainardieae, Phalarideae, Phleeae and Seslerieae, are reduced to subtribes.

Because of this, it and all other indigenous myrtle species have been designated as Threatened in this assessment. Some of them, including ramarama, have been placed in the worst Threatened category of Nationally Critical. Photo: Jeremy Rolfe. New Zealand Threat Classification Series is a scientific monograph series presenting publications related to the New Zealand Threat Classification System (NZTCS). Most will be lists providing NZTCS status of members of a plant or animal group (e.g. algae, birds, spiders), each assessed once every 5 years. After each five-year cycle there will be a report analysing and summarising trends across all groups for that listing cycle. From time to time the manual that defines the categories, criteria and process for the NZTCS will be reviewed. Publications in this series are considered part of the formal international scientific literature. This report is available from the departmental website in pdf form.
