Ciccarone and G. Goidànich Phytopathologia Mediterranea is an international journal edited by the Mediterranean Phytopathological Union The journal’s mission is the promotion of plant health for Mediterranean crops, climate and regions, safe food production, and the transfer of knowledge on diseases and their sustainable management. The journal deals with all areas of plant pathology, including epidemiology, disease control, biochemical and physiological aspects, and utilization of molecular technologies. All types of plant pathogens are covered, including fungi, nematodes, protozoa, bacteria, phytoplasmas, viruses, and viroids. Papers on mycotoxins, biological and integrated management of plant diseases, and the use of natural substances in disease and weed control are also strongly encouraged. The journal focuses on pathology of Mediterranean crops grown throughout the world. The journal includes three issues each year, publishing Reviews, Original research papers, Short notes, New or unusual disease reports, News and opinion, Current topics, Commentaries, and Letters to the Editor.

Aspects of the morp­ hology and ontogeny of spores and sari, which were previously disputed, have been clarified. Monokaryotic hyphae grow more densely in the intercellular spaces of Tussilago leaves than the dikaryotic intercellular hyphae on Poa. Although ultrastructurally sbnilar, monokaryotic hyphae differ from dikaryotic hyphae in their interaction with host cell walls, often growing embedded in wall material which may project into the host cells. The frequency of penetration of Poa mesophyll cells by haustoria of the dikaryon is greater than that of Tussilago cells by the relatively undifferentiated intracellular hyphae of the monokaryon. Intracellular hyphae differ from haustoria in their irregular growth, septation, lack of a neck-band or markedly constricted neck, the deposition of host wall-like material in the external matrix bounded by the invaginated host plasmalemma and in the association of callose reactions \vith intracellular hyphae and adjacent parts of host walls.

    Bot 316 Mycology and Fungal Physiology

    BOT 316 MYCOLOGY AND FUNGAL PHYSIOLOGY Dr Osondu Akoma 2011 BOT 316 MYCOLOGY AND FUNGAL PHYSIOLOGY INTRODUCTION HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Mycology is a classical translation of the Greek word Mykes logos which means mushroom discussion, thus mycology is the study of fungi. In the past this area of science was limited to the study of mushrooms but as science developed, the scope of the subject widened far beyond the objects seen with the naked eyes with the discovery of microscopes. The development of mycology cannot be isolated from that of science. The ancestry of fungi is ancient, dating back to the Devonian and Precambrian eras. The history is also influenced by calamities and man has always kept record from time and as such the first record of fungi was not that of observing fungi directly but that of their harmful effects. The Romans and Greeks have a lot in their records. Even in the Holy Bible there are many references of the fungi and their effects; Leviticus 14: 4-48, 1Kings 8:37, Deuteronomy 28:22. The first indication that man saw fungi as food was a report of death at Icarius. The first book devoted to fungi is the Van Sterbeek’s “Theatrum Fungerium” in 1675 and this work distinguished the edible from the poisonous mushrooms. The discovery of the microscope led to the systematic study of the fungi. Robert Hooke was credited with the first illustration of micro fungi in 1667 in his work titled Micrographa . The Greeks and Romans regarded fungi as mysterious things. They were regarded as the “evil formats of the earth originating from the mouth of vipers”.

KEY TO DIVISIONS AND SUB-DIVISIONS Taxonomy and Nomenclature Nomenclature is the naming of organisms. Both classification and nomenclature are governed by International code of Botanical Nomenclature, in order to devise stable methods of naming various taxa, As per binomial nomenclature, genus and species represent the name of an organism. Binomials when written should be underlined or italicized when printed. First letter of the genus should be capital and is commonly a noun, while species is often an adjective. An example for binomial can be cited as: Kingdom = Fungi Division = Eumycota Subdivision = Basidiomycotina Class = Teliomycetes Order = Uredinales Family = Pucciniaceae Genus = Puccinia Species = graminis Classification of Fungi An outline of classification (G.C.

    ASCOMYCOTINA The ‘Sac fungi’ General character of ASCOMYCOTINA • Largest group of fungi – more than 32,000 species in 3,400 genera • Name derived from Greek word: askos – bag or bladder and mykes – fungus • Sexually produced spores (ascospores) are contained within a sac (ascus) • Include both saprophytic and parasitic species • Some are symbionts – about 40% of lichen have ascomycotina members as fungal partner • Majority are terrestrial but few are aquatic – marine and fresh water Vegetative structure • Thallus may be unicellular (Yeast) or mycelial • Mycelium is well developed with branched and septate hyphae • Septa with simple pore • Hyphae compactly or loosely arranged • Mycelium may be homokaryotic – all neclei are genetically similar or heterokaryotic – nuclei are genetically different • Some members (Eg. Xylaria, Claviceps) form hyphal aggregations – Stroma, Sclerotium Reproduction • Asexual or Sexual reproduction Asexual reproduction • By formation of spores • Conidia, Oidia or Chlamydospores Conidia • Important mode of asexual reproduction in Ascomycotina • Exogenous, non-motile spores • Produced on tip of conidiophores – branched or unbranced / unicellular or multicellular • Single or many chains of conidia are formed on a conidiophore • Conidia are generally formed basipetally • Formation of conidia on conidiophore (conidiogenesis) occurs in two ways – Blastic conidiogenesis: conidium develops by blowing out of wall of a cell, usually from the tip of a hypha – Thallic conidiogenesis: conidium develops from a pre-existing

    What Do We Know About Botryosphaeriaceae? an Overview of a Worldwide Cured Dataset

    Review What Do We Know about Botryosphaeriaceae? An Overview of a Worldwide Cured Dataset Eduardo Batista , Anabela Lopes and Artur Alves * CESAM, Departamento de Biologia, Universidade de Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal; [email protected] (E.B.); [email protected] (A.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Botryosphaeriaceae-related diseases occur worldwide in a wide variety of plant hosts. The number of studies targeting the distribution, diversity, ecology, and pathogenicity of Botryosphaeri- aceae species are consistently increasing. However, with the lack of consistency in species delimita- tion, the name of hosts, and the locations of studies, it is almost impossible to quantify the presence of these species worldwide, or the number of different host–fungus interactions that occur. In this re- view, we collected and organized Botryosphaeriaceae occurrences in a single cured dataset, allowing us to obtain for the first time a complete perspective on species’ global diversity, dispersion, host association, ecological niches, pathogenicity, communication efficiency of new occurrences, and new host–fungus associations. This dataset is freely available through an interactive and online applica- tion. The current release (version 1.0) contains 14,405 cured isolates and 2989 literature references of 12,121 different host–fungus interactions with 1692 different plant species from 149 countries.
