Anamorphic Fungi: Hyphomycetes
Cryptogamie, Mycologie, 2009, 30 (2): 199-222 © 2009 Adac. Tous droits réservés Novel fungal taxa from the arid Middle East introduced prior to the year 1940. II - Anamorphic Fungi: Hyphomycetes JeanMOUCHACCA Département de Systématique & Evolution (Laboratoire de Cryptogamie), USM 602 Taxonomie & Collections, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Case Postale 39, 57 rue Cuvier, 75231 Paris Cedex 05, France [email protected] Abstract – The second contribution of this series surveys 44 hyphomycetes having holotypes from the Middle East region and original protologues elaborated before 1940. The oldest binomial disclosed is Torula hammonis ; it was written by Ehrenberg in 1824 on the voucher specimen of a fungus he collected in Egypt. From 1824-1900 simply 8 new taxa were named. None was established in the first decade of the 20th century, while a large proportion was issued in the years 1910-1930: 68.2%. Most novelties were described as species, and fewer were considered varieties or forma of known species; the genus Lacellina was proposed for L. libyca, now L . graminicola . The relevant protologues were elaborated by few mycologists active in France, Germany and Italy. The new organisms commonly developed on parts of green plants collected by European residents or travellers botanists. The original localities of collections are now situated in Egypt, Irak, Libya, Palestine and Yemen. Over half of the novel taxa originates from Egypt. Such includes the oldest 6 species due to Ehrenberg and Thuemen (1876-1880), and another 16 taxa due to Reichert in 1921; the specimens of the latter were collected by Schweinfurth and Ehrenberg with occasional ones by Th. -
<I>Botryosphaeriales</I>
Persoonia 33, 2014: 155–168 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/pimj RESEARCH ARTICLE http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/003158514X684780 Confronting the constraints of morphological taxonomy in the Botryosphaeriales B. Slippers1, J. Roux2, M.J. Wingfield1, F.J.J. van der Walt2, F. Jami2, J.W.M. Mehl2, G.J. Marais3 Key words Abstract Identification of fungi and the International Code of Nomenclature underpinning this process, rests strongly on the characterisation of morphological structures. Yet, the value of these characters to define species in Botryosphaeriales many groups has become questionable or even superfluous. This has emerged as DNA-based techniques have morphotaxa increasingly revealed cryptic species and species complexes. This problem is vividly illustrated in the present phylogeny study where 105 isolates of the Botryosphaeriales were recovered from both healthy and diseased woody tissues taxonomy of native Acacia spp. in Namibia and South Africa. Thirteen phylogenetically distinct groups were identified based tree health on Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) rDNA PCR-RFLP and translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF1-α) sequence data, two loci that are known to be reliable markers to distinguish species in the Botryosphaeriales. Four of these groups could be linked reliably to sequence data for formerly described species, including Botryosphaeria dothidea, Dothiorella dulcispinae, Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae and Spencermartinsia viticola. Nine groups, however, could not be linked to any other species known from culture and for which sequence data are available. These groups are, therefore, described as Aplosporella africana, A. papillata, Botryosphaeria auasmontanum, Dothiorella capri-amissi, Do. oblonga, Lasiodiplodia pyriformis, Spencermartinsia rosulata, Sphaeropsis variabilis and an un- described Neofusicoccum sp. -

Cheatgrass stand failures have been observed throughout the invaded region, the cause of which may be related to the presence of several species of pathogenic fungi in the soil or surface litter. In this study, metagenomics was used to better understand and compare the fungal communities between sites that have and have not experienced stand failure. -

Thesis FINAL PRINT
Preface This study was conducted at the Department of Chemistry, Biotechnology and Food Science (IKBM), Norwegian University of Life Sciences (UMB) during November 2009 to November 2010. My supervisors were Professor Dr Arne Tronsmo and PhD student Md. Hafizur Rahman, Department of IKBM, UMB. I express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to Professor Arne Tronsmo and Dr. Linda Gordon Hjeljord for their dynamic guidance throughout the period of the study, constant encouragement, constructive criticism and valuable suggestion during preparation of the thesis. I also want to thank Md. Hafizur Rahman for his guidance during my research work. Moreover I express my sincere gratitude to Grethe Kobro and Else Maria Aasen and all other staffs and workers at IKBM, UMB for their helpful co-operation to complete the research work in the laboratory. Last but not the least; I feel the heartiest indebtedness to Sabine and my family members for their patient inspirations, sacrifices and never ending encouragement. Ås, January 2011 Latifur Rahman Shovan i Abstract This thesis has been focused on methods to control diseases caused by Botrytis cinerea. B. cinerea causes grey mould disease of strawberry and chickpea, as well as many other plants. The fungal isolates used were isolated from chickpea leaf (Gazipur, Bangladesh) or obtained from the Norwegian culture collections of Bioforsk (Ås) and IKBM (UMB). Both morphological and molecular characterization helped to identify the fungal isolates as Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea 101 and B. cinerea-BD), Trichoderma atroviride, T. asperellum Alternaria brassicicola, and Mucor piriformis. The identity of one fungal isolate, which was obtained from the culture collection of Bioforsk under the name Microdochium majus, could not be confirmed in this study. -

Current Research in Environmental & Applied Mycology 6(3), 231– 237, Doi 10.5943/cream/6/3/11 Abstract Bipolaris rostratae, a new foliicolous anamorphic fungus discovered on living leaves of Heliconia rostrata (Heliconiaceae), is described and illustrated. The species was compared with closely related species of Bipolaris and similar fungi recorded on Heliconia spp. This species is different from other Bipolaris spp. reported on Heliconia due to its shorter, thinner and less septate conidia. A key is provided to all species of Bipolaris reported on Heliconia. Key words − fungal diversity – morphotaxonomy – Foliicolous fungi – Bipolaris – new species Introduction After several taxonomic refinements, graminicolous Helminthosporium were segregated into several genera including Bipolaris, Curvularia, Drechslera and Exserohilum (Sivanesan 1987). These genera belong to Ascomycota, Dothideomycetes, Pleosporales, Pleosporaceae. These genera can be distinguished on the basis of characters such as conidial shape and size, hilum morphology, origin of the germ tubes from the basal or other conidial cells, and the location and sequence in the development of the conidial septa. Illustrations of different hilum morphologies in graminicolous Helminthosporium species were given by Alcorn (1988). -

Groenewald2, P.W. Crous2 Key words Abstract The ascomycete Cymadothea trifolii, a member of the Dothideomycetes, is unique among obligate bio- trophic fungi in its capability to only partially degrade the host cell wall and in forming an astonishingly intricate biotrophy interaction apparatus (IA) in its own hyphae, while the attacked host plant cell is triggered to produce a membranous Capnodiales bubble opposite the IA. However, no sequence data are currently available for this species. Based on molecular Cymadothea trifolii phylogenetic results obtained from complete SSU and partial LSU data, we show that the genus Cymadothea be- Dothideomycetes longs to the Mycosphaerellaceae (Capnodiales, Dothideomycetes).

The family Elsinoaceae (type: Elsinoe canavaliae) is described and its separation from Myriangiaceae is supported. Butleria inaghatahani has characters similar to Elsinoaceae where it should remain. Beelia suttoniae appears to be a superficial biotroph on the surface of leaves and thus Beelia should be placed in Chaetothyriaceae and is most similar to Ainsworthia (= Phaeosaccardinula). Apart from the oblong to ovoid sessile asci in Hyalotheles dimerosperma, its placement in Elsinoaceae seems unwarranted, and Hyalotheles should be placed in Dothideomycetes incertae sedis. Saccardinula guaranitica may be better placed in Microthyriaceae or Brefeldiellaceae, because its ascomata greatly resemble thyrothecia found in Microthyriaceae and have similarities with Brefeldiella. Molecular sequence data from fresh collections is required to solve the problem of familial placement.
