Several studies have re- vealed a high degree of morphological plasticity in the asexual morphs of Phialocephala, including the occasional presence of an accompanying anavirga-like or diplococcium-like morph in some species, or the production of a synnematous conidial apparatus with blastic, non-phialidic, conidiogenous cells in P. oblonga (Descals & Sutton 1976, Tanney et al. 2016). In spite of this morphological variability, no cladophialophora-like morph has been reported previously in Phialocephala, supporting the proposal of the novel species described herein.

Mycosphere 10(1), 310–489, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/10/1/7 Abstract Leotiomycetes is regarded as the inoperculate class of discomycetes within the phylum Ascomycota. Taxa are mainly characterized by asci with a simple pore blueing in Melzer’s reagent, although some taxa have lost this character. The monophyly of this class has been verified in several recent molecular studies. However, circumscription of the orders, families and generic level delimitation are still unsettled. This paper provides a modified backbone tree for the class Leotiomycetes based on phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS, LSU, SSU, TEF, and RPB2 loci. In the phylogenetic analysis, Leotiomycetes separates into 19 clades, which can be recognized as orders and order-level clades.

BMC Plant Biol (2021) 21:389 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12870-021-03125-z RESEARCH Open Access Transcriptomics of diferent tissues of blueberry and diversity analysis of rhizosphere fungi under cadmium stress Shaopeng Chen1*, QianQian Zhuang1, XiaoLei Chu2, ZhiXin Ju1, Tao Dong1 and Yuan Ma1 Abstract Blueberry (Vaccinium ssp.) is a perennial shrub belonging to the family Ericaceae, which is highly tolerant of acid soils and heavy metal pollution. In the present study, blueberry was subjected to cadmium (Cd) stress in simulated pot culture. The transcriptomics and rhizosphere fungal diversity of blueberry were analyzed, and the iron (Fe), manga- nese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) content of blueberry tissues, soil and DGT was determined. A correlation analysis was also performed. A total of 84 374 annotated genes were identifed in the root, stem, leaf and fruit tissue of blueberry, of which 3370 were DEGs, and in stem tissue, of which 2521 were DEGs. The annotation data showed that these DEGs were mainly concentrated in a series of metabolic pathways related to signal transduction, defense and the plant–pathogen response. Blueberry transferred excess Cd from the root to the stem for storage, and the highest levels of Cd were found in stem tissue, consistent with the results of transcriptome analysis, while the lowest Cd concentration occurred in the fruit, Cd also inhibited the absorption of other metal elements by blueberry. A series of genes related to Cd regulation were screened by analyzing the correlation between heavy metal content and transcriptome results. The roots of blueberry rely on mycorrhiza to absorb nutrients from the soil.

  • A Taxonomic and Phylogenetic Investigation of Conifer Endophytes
    A Taxonomic and Phylogenetic Investigation of Conifer Endophytes of Eastern Canada by Joey B. Tanney A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biology Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016 Abstract Research interest in endophytic fungi has increased substantially, yet is the current research paradigm capable of addressing fundamental taxonomic questions? More than half of the ca. 30,000 endophyte sequences accessioned into GenBank are unidentified to the family rank and this disparity grows every year. The problems with identifying endophytes are a lack of taxonomically informative morphological characters in vitro and a paucity of relevant DNA reference sequences. A study involving ca. 2,600 Picea endophyte cultures from the Acadian Forest Region in Eastern Canada sought to address these taxonomic issues with a combined approach involving molecular methods, classical taxonomy, and field work. It was hypothesized that foliar endophytes have complex life histories involving saprotrophic reproductive stages associated with the host foliage, alternative host substrates, or alternate hosts. Based on inferences from phylogenetic data, new field collections or herbarium specimens were sought to connect unidentifiable endophytes with identifiable material. Approximately 40 endophytes were connected with identifiable material, which resulted in the description of four novel genera and 21 novel species and substantial progress in endophyte taxonomy. Endophytes were connected with saprotrophs and exhibited reproductive stages on non-foliar tissues or different hosts. These results provide support for the foraging ascomycete hypothesis, postulating that for some fungi endophytism is a secondary life history strategy that facilitates persistence and dispersal in the absence of a primary host.

IMA Fungus (2019) 10:1 https://doi.org/10.1186/s43008-019-0002-x IMA Fungus RESEARCH Open Access A multigene phylogeny toward a new phylogenetic classification of Leotiomycetes Peter R. Johnston1* , Luis Quijada2, Christopher A. Smith1, Hans-Otto Baral3, Tsuyoshi Hosoya4, Christiane Baschien5, Kadri Pärtel6, Wen-Ying Zhuang7, Danny Haelewaters2,8, Duckchul Park1, Steffen Carl5, Francesc López-Giráldez9, Zheng Wang10 and Jeffrey P. Townsend10 Abstract Fungi in the class Leotiomycetes are ecologically diverse, including mycorrhizas, endophytes of roots and leaves, plant pathogens, aquatic and aero-aquatic hyphomycetes, mammalian pathogens, and saprobes. These fungi are commonly detected in cultures from diseased tissue and from environmental DNA extracts. The identification of specimens from such character-poor samples increasingly relies on DNA sequencing. However, the current classification of Leotiomycetes is still largely based on morphologically defined taxa, especially at higher taxonomic levels. Consequently, the formal Leotiomycetes classification is frequently poorly congruent with the relationships suggested by DNA sequencing studies. Previous class-wide phylogenies of Leotiomycetes have been based on ribosomal DNA markers, with most of the published multi-gene studies being focussed on particular genera or families. In this paper we collate data available from specimens representing both sexual and asexual morphs from across the genetic breadth of the class, with a focus on generic type species, to present a phylogeny based on up to 15 concatenated genes across 279 specimens. Included in the dataset are genes that were extracted from 72 of the genomes available for the class, including 10 new genomes released with this study. To test the statistical support for the deepest branches in the phylogeny, an additional phylogeny based on 3156 genes from 51 selected genomes is also presented.

  • The Diversity of Root-Associated Endophytic Fungi from Four Epiphytic Orchids in China
    diversity Article The Diversity of Root-Associated Endophytic Fungi from Four Epiphytic Orchids in China Tao Wang , Miao Chi, Ling Guo, Donghuan Liu, Yu Yang and Yu Zhang * Beijing Laboratory of Urban and Rural Ecological Environment, Beijing Floriculture Engineering Technology Research Centre, Beijing Botanical Garden, Beijing 100093, China; [email protected] (T.W.); [email protected] (M.C.); [email protected] (L.G.); [email protected] (D.L.); [email protected] (Y.Y.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Root-associated endophytic fungi (RAF) are found asymptomatically in almost all plant groups. However, little is known about the compositions and potential functions of RAF communities associated with most Orchidaceae species. In this study, the diversity of RAF was examined in four wild epiphytic orchids, Acampe rigida, Doritis pulcherrima, Renanthera coccinea, and Robiquetia succisa, that occur in southern China. A culture-independent method involving Illumina amplicon sequencing, and an in vitro culture method, were used to identify culturable fungi. The RAF community diversity differed among the orchid roots, and some fungal taxa were clearly concentrated in a certain orchid species, with more OTUs being detected. By investigating mycorrhizal associations, the results showed that 28 (about 0.8%) of the 3527 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) could be assigned as OMF, while the OTUs of non-mycorrhizal fungal were about 99.2%. Among the OMFs, Ceratobasidiaceae OTUs were the most abundant with different richness, followed by Thelephoraceae. In addition, five Ceratobasidium sp. strains were isolated from D. pulcherrima, R. succisa, and R. coccinea roots with high separation rates. These culturable Ceratobasidium strains will provide materials for Citation: Wang, T.; Chi, M.; Guo, L.; host orchid conservation and for studying the mechanisms underlying mycorrhizal symbiosis.

We consider this presentation as a stimulus for further work, which Families’, in which some new families were established and forgotten ones resurrected. It includes recent, partly unpublished results and tries to combine should include more, also protein-coding, gene regions. The families are mostly well represented with high bootstrap support, and also morphological and molecular data. 24 families and some undescribed lineages are here proposed in the Helotiales sensu stricto (excluding Leotiales, Phacidiales, some family associations show high support. Some unexpected results are worth of mention: (1) Roseodiscus formosus does not cluster with and some other orders). Paraphyletic groups are accepted whenever obvious morphological support is noted. A pragmatic approach based mainly on the type R. rhodoleucus; (2) Crocicreas requires restriction to the type C. gramineum, while the large genus Cyathicula is unrelated to them; (3) morphology tries to arrange these 24 families in 4 main groups (A-D). Our phylogenetic analysis hardly represents these groups, although it shows high encoelioid taxa turned out to belong in various families, E.
