Records from Japan, DPR Korea, Tibet and Nepal may be misidentifications of Caeoma tsukubaense, or other similar species. Old records from the USA are likely to be misidentifications of Chrysomyxa reticulata, although, due to the similarity between C. rhododendri and C. reticulata, it is currently not possible to be certain whether both species may be present (Chalkley, D.

A detailed description, illustrations, and discussion concerning morphologically similar and phylogenetically closely related species are provided for each species. From light and scanning electron microscopy observations C. diebuensis is characterized by the nailhead to peltate aeciospores, with separated stilt-like base. C. zhuoni- ensis differs from other known Chrysomyxa species in the annulate aeciospores with distinct longitudinal smooth cap at ends of spores, as well as with a broken, fissured edge. Analysis based on internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) partial gene sequences reveals that the two species cluster as a highly supported group in the phylogenetic trees. Correlations between the morphological and phylogenetic features are discussed. Illustrations and a detailed description are also provided for the aecia of C. succinea in China for the first time.

  • Clarification of the Life-Cycle of Chrysomyxa Woroninii on Ledum
    Mycol. Res. 104 (5): 581–586 (May 2000). Printed in the United Kingdom. 581 Clarification of the life-cycle of Chrysomyxa woroninii on Ledum and Picea Patricia E. CRANE1, 2, Yasuyuki HIRATSUKA2 and Randolph S. CURRAH1 " Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6G 2E9, Canada # Northern Forestry Centre, Canadian Forest Service, 5320-122 Street, Edmonton, AB T6H 3S5, Canada. Accepted 5 August 1999. The rust fungus Chrysomyxa woroninii causes perennial witches’ brooms on several species of Ledum in northern and subalpine regions of Europe, North America and Asia. Spruce bud rust has been assumed to be the aecial state of C. woroninii because of the close proximity of infected Ledum plants and systemically infected buds on Picea. The lack of experimental evidence for this connection, however, and the presence of other species of Chrysomyxa on the same hosts has led to confusion about the life-cycle of C. woroninii. In this study, infections on both spruce and Ledum were studied in the field and in a greenhouse. The link between the two states was proven by inoculating spruce with basidiospores from Ledum groenlandicum. After infection of spruce in spring, probably through the needles, the fungus overwinters in the unopened buds until the next spring, when the infected shoots are distinguished by stunting and yellow or red discolouration. Microscopic examination of dormant Ledum shoots showed that C. woroninii overwinters in this host in the bracts and outer leaves of the vegetative buds, and in the pith and cortex of the stem. The telia of C. woroninii, on systemically infected Ledum leaves of the current season, are easily distinguished from the telia of other Chrysomyxa species on the same hosts.

  • 9B Taxonomy to Genus
    Fungus and Lichen Genera in the NEMF Database Taxonomic hierarchy: phyllum > class (-etes) > order (-ales) > family (-ceae) > genus. Total number of genera in the database: 526 Anamorphic fungi (see p. 4), which are disseminated by propagules not formed from cells where meiosis has occurred, are presently not grouped by class, order, etc. Most propagules can be referred to as "conidia," but some are derived from unspecialized vegetative mycelium. A significant number are correlated with fungal states that produce spores derived from cells where meiosis has, or is assumed to have, occurred. These are, where known, members of the ascomycetes or basidiomycetes. However, in many cases, they are still undescribed, unrecognized or poorly known. (Explanation paraphrased from "Dictionary of the Fungi, 9th Edition.") Principal authority for this taxonomy is the Dictionary of the Fungi and its online database, www.indexfungorum.org.

Light and scanning electron microscopy observations indicated that this rust species was morphologically distinct from other known Diaphanopellis species and Chrysomyxa species in teliospore morphology and urediniospore surface structure. Diaphanopellis purpurea can be phylogenetically separated from other Chrysomyxa species based on analysis of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) partial gene sequences. The aecial stage of the new species was also confirmed. Keywords: Molecular phylogeny, phylogeny, Pucciniales, taxonomy Introduction Rust genus Diaphanopellis was established by Crane with the type species Diaphanopellis forrestii P. E. Crane occurring on Rhododendron selense Franch (Crane 2005, Kirk et al. 2008). Diaphanopellis is characterized by the teliospores enclosed in hyaline sheaths, and the uredinia surrounded by a peridium with ornamented cells (Barclay 1891, Balfour-Browne 1955, Crane 2005). Most rusts infecting Rhododendron belong to the genus Chrysomyxa, which are morphologically different from Diaphanopellis species in having uredinial peridium and distinct teliospores. Chrysomyxa species produce catenulate teliospores without gelatineous layers and uredinia covered by an inconspicuous peridium (Berndt 1999).

  • Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation Wales Guidance (Pdf)
    Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Foreword The Welsh Assembly Government’s Environment Strategy for Wales, published in May 2006, pays tribute to the intrinsic value of biodiversity – ‘the variety of life on earth’. The Strategy acknowledges the role biodiversity plays, not only in many natural processes, but also in the direct and indirect economic, social, aesthetic, cultural and spiritual benefits that we derive from it. The Strategy also acknowledges that pressures brought about by our own actions and by other factors, such as climate change, have resulted in damage to the biodiversity of Wales and calls for a halt to this loss and for the implementation of measures to bring about a recovery. Local Wildlife Sites provide essential support between and around our internationally and nationally designated nature sites and thus aid our efforts to build a more resilient network for nature in Wales. The Wildlife Sites Guidance derives from the shared knowledge and experience of people and organisations throughout Wales and beyond and provides a common point of reference for the most effective selection of Local Wildlife Sites. I am grateful to the Wales Biodiversity Partnership for developing the Wildlife Sites Guidance. The contribution and co-operation of organisations and individuals across Wales are vital to achieving our biodiversity targets. I hope that you will find the Wildlife Sites Guidance a useful tool in the battle against biodiversity loss and that you will ensure that it is used to its full potential in order to derive maximum benefit for the vitally important and valuable nature in Wales.

    BROOM RUSTS Introduction Broom rusts are fungus-caused diseases that result in the formation of witches-brooms in the branches of infected trees. “Witches-broom” is a generic term for a localized proliferation of twigs with short internodes on a branch (Figures 1 & 2). Two broom rusts occur in Idaho. Spruce broom rust, caused by Chrysomyxa arctostaphyli, infects Engelmann spruce. Fir broom rust, caused by Melampsorella caryophyllacearum, can be found on grand and subalpine fir. Figure 2. Witches-broom in true fir. (Photo by Susan K. Hagle, USDA Forest Service, www.forestryimages.org) Disease Recognition Shoots forming witches-brooms grow upright and produce new needles with yellow to light- green coloration each year, making brooms stand out in the spring and summer against a background of relatively healthy, dark-green foliage (Figures 1 & 2). The fungus-infected needles of a broom are shed during fall and winter, but it is not dead. The shoots of a State Forester Forum State Forester broom remain alive over winter and, in early spring, new needles grow from the infected Figure 1. Witches-broom in spruce. (Photo by shoots. Because the fungus is systemic in the Oscar J. Dooling, USDA Forest Service, www.forestryimages.org) broom’s shoots, it grows readily into the new needles.

  • Rhododendron Rusts, Vol.1, Issue 16
    ORNAMENTALS Aug.-Sept. 1977 Fred M. Zeitoun NORTHWEST Vol. 1, Issue 16 Oregon Department of Agriculture ARCHIVES Pages 6-7 Salem, OR 97310 RHODODENDRON RUSTS Rusts are becoming a serious problem on some varieties of rhododendron and azalea. They are more pronounced in the spring. Infected leaves develop yellow to orange pinpoint pustules of uredial spores on the lower leaf surface which coincide with leaf spots on the upper surface. In cases of severe infection, defoliation and death of the plants may occur. All rhododendron rusts are airborne and can attack rhododendrons without the need of the alternate host, which is usually hemlock or spruce. They can survive through the winter as mycelium or uredia on the rhododendron leaves. Two types of rusts are known to attack rhododendron. 1) Common or native rusts; the most common one is Chrysomyxa piperiana. Other species of rusts that commonly attack Ledum sp. and rhododendron are Chrysomyxa ledicola and Chrysomyxa ledi Fig 1. Uredial spores glandulosa. 2) European Rust is caused by Chrysomyxa ledi of the rhododendron rhododendri. The fungus is believed to have been introduced from rust (Chrysomyxa sp.) Europe or Asia where the disease is native. Gould et al in Washington in pinpoint pustules in 1955 reported the disease for the first time in the United States. on lower surface of The disease is known to occur in Oregon, California, and British Rhododendron leaf. Columbia. It attacks many species and varieties of rhododendron, especially the narrow leaf varieties. In Europe, the telial state of the rust fungus develops on the native rhododendron, i.e.

Here, we show that Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.), an important boreal zone tree species; accumulates 1,6-dehydropinidine (2-methyl-6-(2-propenyl)-1,6-piperideine) in its needles and bark. We reanalyzed previously published GC-MS data to obtain a full picture of 1,6-dehydropinidine in P. abies. 1,6-dehydropinidine appeared to especially accumulate in developing spring shoots. We used solid-phase partitioning to collect the alkaloid fraction of the sprouts and thin-layer chromatography to purify 1,6-dehydropinidine.
