Pheromone receptor Consistent with a role of mating type in mediating cytoplasmic-nuclear genomic conflict, Agaricomycetes have evolved away from a haploid yeast phase towards hyphal fusions that display reciprocal nuclear migration after mating rather than cytoplasmic fusion. Importantly, the evolution of this mating behavior is precisely timed with the onset of diversification of mating type alleles at the pheromone/receptor mating type loci that are known to control reciprocal nuclear migration during mating. -

Abstract Downloaded from Incompatibility systems in which individuals bearing identical alleles reject each other favor the maintenance of a diversity of alleles. Mushroom mating type loci (MAT) encode for dozens or hundreds of incompatibility alleles whose loss from the population is greatly restricted through negative frequency selection, leading to a system of alleles with highly divergent sequences. Here, we use DNA sequences of homeodomain (HD) encoding genes at the locus of five MAT http://mbe.oxfordjournals.org/ closely related species of the root rot basidiomycete Heterobasidion annosum sensu lato to show that the extended coalescence time of MAT alleles greatly predates speciation in the group, contrasting loci outside of MAT that show allele divergences largely consistent with the species phylogeny with those of MAT, which show rampant trans-species poly- morphism. -
Infection and Growth of Heterobasidion Spp. in Picea Abies
INFECTION AND GROWTH OF HETEROBASIDION SPP.

Infection and growth of Heterobasidion spp. in Picea abies – Control by Phlebiopsis gigantea stump treatment. Doctor’s dissertation. ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 91-576-7035-8. In economical terms, species of Heterobasidion are among the most severe fungal pests in coniferous forests of the northern hemisphere. The fungi cause interior decay in the stem of trees and trees may also die as a cause of infection. Two species of Heterobasidion have been identified in Sweden, Heterobasidion annosum s.s. (Fr.) Bref. and Heterobasidion parviporum Niemelä & Korhonen. The former has been identified from southern to central Sweden whereas the latter is present throughout the whole country. Stump treatment, using chemical or biological treatment agents, is the most widely used silvicultural method to prevent infection by Heterobasidion. This thesis mainly focuses on different aspects of biological stump treatment using Phlebiopsis gigantea (Fr.) Jül. The effectiveness of stump treatment against air-borne Heterobasidion spores with P. gigantea, when applied at different rates of stump coverage was investigated in southern Sweden. The results showed that, in order to achieve the best control, the aim should be to cover the complete stump surface with the treatment agent. In another field experiment in southern Sweden the effectiveness of Finish and Swedish strains of P. -

Heterobasidion Root Rot
Heterobasidion root rot Genetic mapping of virulence and evolutionary history Kerstin Dalman Faculty of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences Department of Forest Mycology and Pathology Uppsala Doctoral Thesis Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Uppsala 2010 Acta Universitatis Agriculturae Sueciae 2010:81 ISSN 1652-6880 ISBN 978-91-576-7526-2 © 2010 Kerstin Dalman, Uppsala Print: SLU Service/Repro, Uppsala 2010 2 Heterobasidion root rot. Genetic mapping of virulence and evolutionary history Abstract Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref. sensu lato (s.l.) is a necrotrophic pathogen causing damage to conifers in the Northern Hemisphere. H. annosum s.l. consists of five species: three European [H. annosum sensu stricto (s.s.), H. parviporum and H. abietinum] and two North American (H. irregulare and H. occidentale); all with different but partially overlapping host preferences. A multilocus phylogenetic tree was built and the divergence times were estimated. Plate tectonics is likely to have been the main factor influencing Heterobasidion speciation and biogeography. Along with the geographical separation, the Heterobasidion species have specialized on different host genera. The H. annosum species complex originated in Laurasia and the H. annosum s.s./H. irregulare and H. parviporum/H. abietinum/H. occidentale ancestral species emerged between 45 million–60 million years ago in the Palaearctic. The data imply that H. irregulare and H. occidentale colonized North America via different routes: H. irregulare colonizing from the east via Trans Atlantic land bridges and H. occidentale colonizing from the west via the Bering Land Bridge. Alternatively H. occidentale originated from North America. Identification of virulence factors is important for understanding the Heterobasidion–conifer pathosystem. -

Abstract: Attention is paid to all basidiomycetous species hitherto known to occur on Catalpa as host plant. During 1955-1997 more than 20 new fungus-host associations from diverse species of Catalpa grown in Europe could be found by the author. Zusammenfassung: Basidiomyzeten, die bisher von Catalpa als Wirtspflanze bekannt sind, werden aufgeführt. Dem Autor gelang es, 1955-1997 mehr als zwanzig neue Pilz-Wirt-Assoziationen von ver- schiedenen in Europa angepflanzten Catalpa-Artcn zu finden. Catalpa SCOP. (Bignoniaceae), called cigar-tree in the USA, a genus native to the United States of America [Southern Catalpa = C. hignonioides WALTER, Hardy Ca- talpa = C. speciosa (WARDER ex BARNEY) ENGELM.], West Indies and/or China. Common species of the genus are favoured as ornamental trees due to their showy panicles of flowers and long cigar-like pendent capsular fruits as well. In Europe, spe- cies of Catalpa are often cultivated as park- and street-trees. OUDEMANS (1923) mentioned only four species of Basidiomycetes for Catalpa, i.e., Polyponts distortus (= Abortipoms biennis). Pistil/aha mucedina. Pistil/aria mucoroides, and Polyponis distinctus (nomen dubium). Six further basidiomycetous species collected on Catalpa were listed in the next host index by SEYMOUR (1929): Exidia saccharina, Polyponis adustus (= Bjerkandera adusta), Schizophyllum commune, Stereum albobadium (= Dendrophora alhobadia), Stereum versicolor, and Trametes sepium (= Antrodia al- bida). -

FPL 15 – Annosus Root Rot The information accessed from this screen is based on the publication: Morrison, D.J. 1979. Annosus Root Rot in Douglas-fir and Western Hemlock in British Columbia. Forestry Canada, Forest Insect and Disease Survey, Forest Pest Leaflet No. 15 8p. Fomes annosus is now know as Heterobasidion annosum Introduction Annosus root disease, caused by the fungus Fomes annosus (Fr,) Karst.Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref.], is an important disease of immature coniferous forests in the temperate zone. In the past 30 years, the incidence and damage caused by the fungus has increased greatly, particularly in plantations in Europe and parts of the southeastern United States. This increase has been attributed to spacing and thinning operations that create conditions favorable for spread of the fungus. Intensive forest management is creating a potentially serious problem in British Columbia. This leaflet describes annosus root disease as it occurs in British Columbia, including the hosts, range and life history of the fungus, and symptoms, damage and control of the disease. Distribution and Hosts The distribution of F. annosus in B.C. has been determined by decay sample and sporophore collection and basidiospore trapping. Fomes annosus occurs throughout the coastal Douglas-fir and western hemlock zones and adjacent parts of the coastal sub-alpine zone, and in the interior western hemlock zone and adjacent parts of the interior Douglas-fir and subalpine zones. In coastal B.C., F. annosus causes butt rot in old-growth trees, particularly western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) and amabilis fir (Abies amabilis (Dougl.) Forbes), and root and butt rot in second growth western hemlock, Abies spp., Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), western red cedar (Thuja plicata Donn) and Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.)(4). -

Heterobasidion Root Disease in Eastern Conifers
Forest Insect & Disease Leaflet 76 Revised March 2018 U.S. Department of Agriculture • Forest Service Heterobasidion Root Disease in Eastern Conifers Glen Stanosz1, Michelle Cram2, David Coyle3, and Linda Haugen4 Introduction Heterobasidion root disease (HRD) is caused by distinct but closely related fungi in the Heterobasidion annosum species complex. Older common names for HRD include annosum, annosus, or Fomes root disease or root rot. This disease causes growth loss, root and butt rot, and mortality of conifers. Damage by HRD in thinned conifer plantations can be especially severe, and it is one of the most economically destructive of all forest tree diseases. Hosts and Distribution Heterobasidion irregulare was formerly referred to as the “pine-type” (or Figure 1. Crowns of dead eastern white pine p-type) of H. annosum due to its (center) and dying red pine (right) affected by frequent association with pines (Pinus Heterobasidion root disease. spp.) in both Eastern and Western the East are now presumed to refer to North America.

Studies of the Root Rot Pathogen Heterobasidion annosum s.l. and the Biocontrol Fungus Phlebiopsis gigantea. Abstract The root rot pathogen Heterobasidion annosum s.l., i.e. H. abietinum, H. parviporum, H. annosum s.s., H. irregulare and H. occidentale, and the biocontrol fungus Phlebiopsis gigantea were investigated regarding their secondary metabolites. Thirty-three compounds, in total, were identified from H. annosum s.l. by HRMS and NMR, including six new fomannosin related sesquiterpenes (illudolone A and B, illudolactone A and B and deoxyfomannosin A and B), one new fomajorin-type compound and seven previously unreported natural products with fomannoxin related structures. The new fomannosin related compounds were proposed to be intermediates in the biosynthesis of the known phytoxin fomannosin. Fomannoxin is a benzohydrofuran that previously has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenicity of H. annosum s.l. The biosynthesis of fomannoxin was investigated through an isotopic enrichment study utilizing [1-13C]glucose as metabolic tracer. The results showed that fomannoxin is produced by a combination of the MVA pathway and the shikimic acid pathway. -
Heterobasidion Irregulare and Heterobasidion Occidentale; All Other Information in This Document Is Current
Taxonomists have replaced the name Fomes annosus with Heterobasidion irregulare and Heterobasidion occidentale; all other information in this document is current. Annosus Root Disease (Heterobasidion annosum (Fomes annosus)) Hosts: All conifers, Pacific madrone, manzanita Distribution in California: Statewide H. annosum conks Characteristics: An annosus root disease in white fir stump infestation, especially of pine, is characterized by group killing, with the oldest mortality at the center Photo: Pete Angwin and the most recent dead and dying trees at the margin. Such disease centers usually develop around infected stumps. Infected trees may also be infested with bark beetles. Crowns of living, infected trees are chlorotic and thin. Symptoms are usually expressed from the bottom and inside of the crown up and outward. Trees usually are stunted or exhibit reduced growth, especially in the terminal shoots. Shortened needles and “lion’s- tailing” (needles only retained at the tip of the branch shoots) may also be present. In pines, the roots and root collar have several symptoms: • Easy separation of bark and wood • A streaking of the wood surface with darker brown lines • Small silver to white flecks on the surface of the inner bark • Heavy resin accumulation in the wood of pines is common H. annosum conk Wood decayed by H. annosum is straw yellow, and laminated stringy or laminated, and may have small black decay from inside a flecks. white fir stump The fungus can be readily identified in the field if Photo: Pete Angwin fruiting bodies are present in or on infected trees or stumps. Conks (fruiting bodies) on standing trees are occasionally located in the duff layer at the base of the tree.
