Molecular Phylogeny of Ustilago and Sporisorium Species (Basidiomycota, Ustilaginales) Based on Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) Sequences1
Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen 976 Molecular phylogeny of Ustilago and Sporisorium species (Basidiomycota, Ustilaginales) based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences1 Matthias Stoll, Meike Piepenbring, Dominik Begerow, Franz Oberwinkler Abstract: DNA sequence data from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear rDNA genes were used to determine a phylogenetic relationship between the graminicolous smut genera Ustilago and Sporisorium (Ustilaginales). Fifty-three members of both genera were analysed together with three related outgroup genera. Neighbor-joining and Bayesian inferences of phylogeny indicate the monophyly of a bipartite genus Sporisorium and the monophyly of a core Ustilago clade. Both methods confirm the recently published nomenclatural change of the cane smut Ustilago scitaminea to Sporisorium scitamineum and indicate a putative connection between Ustilago maydis and Sporisorium. Overall, the three clades resolved in our analyses are only weakly supported by morphological char- acters. Still, their preferences to parasitize certain subfamilies of Poaceae could be used to corroborate our results: all members of both Sporisorium groups occur exclusively on the grass subfamily Panicoideae. The core Ustilago group mainly infects the subfamilies Pooideae or Chloridoideae. Key words: basidiomycete systematics, ITS, molecular phylogeny, Bayesian analysis, Ustilaginomycetes, smut fungi. Résumé : Afin de déterminer la relation phylogénétique des genres Ustilago et Sporisorium (Ustilaginales), responsa- bles du charbon chez les graminées, les auteurs ont utilisé les données de séquence de la région espaceur transcrit interne (ITS) des gènes nucléiques ADNr. Ils ont analysé 53 membres de ces genres, ainsi que trois genres apparentés. Les liens avec les voisins et l’inférence bayésienne de la phylogénie indiquent la monophylie d’un genre Sporisorium bipartite et la monophylie d’un clade Ustilago central.

Taxa within the complex often possess characters that occur in more than one genus, creating uncertainty for species smut fungi placement. Previous studies have indicated that the genera cannot be separated based on morphology alone. systematics Here we chronologically review the history of the Ustilago-Sporisorium-Macalpinomyces complex, argue for its Ustilaginaceae resolution and suggest methods to accomplish a stable taxonomy. A combined molecular and morphological ap- proach is required to identify synapomorphic characters that underpin a new classification. Ustilago, Sporisorium and Macalpinomyces require explicit re-description and new genera, based on monophyletic groups, are needed to accommodate taxa that no longer fit the emended descriptions. A resolved classification will end the taxonomic confusion that surrounds generic placement of these smut fungi.

Characterising plant pathogen communities and their environmental drivers at a national scale A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University by Andreas Makiola Lincoln University, New Zealand 2019 General abstract Plant pathogens play a critical role for global food security, conservation of natural ecosystems and future resilience and sustainability of ecosystem services in general. Thus, it is crucial to understand the large-scale processes that shape plant pathogen communities. The recent drop in DNA sequencing costs offers, for the first time, the opportunity to study multiple plant pathogens simultaneously in their naturally occurring environment effectively at large scale. In this thesis, my aims were (1) to employ next-generation sequencing (NGS) based metabarcoding for the detection and identification of plant pathogens at the ecosystem scale in New Zealand, (2) to characterise plant pathogen communities, and (3) to determine the environmental drivers of these communities. First, I investigated the suitability of NGS for the detection, identification and quantification of plant pathogens using rust fungi as a model system.

Received : 01-07-2011 Accepted : 10-09-2011 ABSTRACT The grain smut [Sporisorium sorghi (Link.)Willd] pathogen on sorghum is externally seed borne. The smut sori break during threshing releasing the spores; that adhere to the surface of healthy seeds and remain dormant till next season. The infection takes place before the seedlings emerge out. The conditions suited for delayed germination of seeds favour the smut infection. An attempt has been made to find out the suitable fungicides for the management of grain smut of sorghum. Among the several fungitoxicants reviewed belonging to different groups; the seeds treated with carboxin+thiram (Vitavax power) followed by sulphur @ 3.0 g kg 1 just before sowing recorded significantly higher seed yield and lesser smut incidence and better seed quality parameters.

Plant Disease
report on RPD No. 208 PLANT December 1990 DEPARTMENT OF CROP SCIENCES DISEASE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN SORGHUM SMUTS Smuts are one of the most important diseases of sorghum in much of the Midwest, especially where untreated seed is planted. Damage is confined almost entirely to the head or panicle, reducing both the grain yield and forage value. Three sorghum smuts are common in the Midwest: covered kernel smut, loose kernel smut, and head smut. Each one is caused by a different species of the fungus Sporisorium. Covered Kernel Smut Covered kernel smut, caused by the fungus Sporisorium sorghi (synonym Sphacelotheca sorghi) attacks all groups of sorghums, including johnsongrass. Covered kernel smut is the most common disease of sorghum in Illinois and other states where farmers plant untreated seed. Usually, all of the kernels in a smutted head are destroyed and replaced by dark brown, powdery masses of smut spores (teliospores or chlamydospores) covered with a tough, grayish white or brown membrane (Figure 1). The membrane usually ruptures at harvest time. The infected kernels (smut sori) break, and the microscopic spores adhere to the Figure 1. Covered kernel smut on sorghum. surface of healthy seeds where they overwinter. Only seeedborne spores cause infection. Smut sori are generally smooth; oval, conical or cylindrical; and vary in size from those small enough to be concealed by the glumes to those over one cm long. They may be white, gray, or brown. When a smut-infested kernel is planted, the teliospores (mostly 4 to 7 microns in diameter) germinate along with the seed forming a 4-celled promycelium (epibasidium) bearing lateral sporidia (Figure 2).
