Taxa of the Talaromyces purpurogenus complex were studied using a polyphasic approach. ITS barcodes were used to show relationships between species of the T. purpurogenus complex and other Talaromyces species. RPB1, RPB2, β-tubulin and calmodulin sequences were used to delimit phylogenetic species in the complex. These data, combined with phenotypic characters, showed that the complex contains ...

Septoria leaf spot is a severe disease of lettuce in tropical and subtropical regions, inducing yield/quality losses increasing production costs. Globally, lactucae has been reported as the major pathogen associated with this disease. However, complex species also association crop around world. Extensive surveys have not conducted Neotropics. Therefore, objective present study was to undergo ph...

Oat (Avena sativa) is an important annual grain and forage crop which plays role in animal husbandry, agricultural restructuring ecological construction China (Chen et al., 2022). In July 2020, leaf spots were observed on oat during stem elongation near the town of Ertai, Zhangbei county, Hebei province, China. The disease severity was estimated at around 25% over area c. 1-1.5 ha. At onset, sy...

conclusions basidomes collected from four locations in thailand had low genetic variation and their extracts inhibited the growth of all tested bacteria. the health benefits of this edible species should be evaluated further. background boletus griseipurpureus corner, an edible mushroom, is a putative ectomycorrhizal fungus. currently, the taxonomic boundary of this mushroom is unclear and its ...

Hydnum repando-orientale is an East Asian species closely related to H. boreorepandum and repandum; all three produce edible mushrooms. We identified two ecological groups of in Japan: a temperate group occurring Fagaceae-dominated forest at < 1200 m a.s.l. (ROF) subalpine coniferous highland > 1900 (ROC). re-examined the taxonomy using integrative approaches. Phylogenies other were inferred fr...

The genus Fusarium includes numerous important plant and human pathogens, as well many industrially commercially species. During our investigation of fungal diversity in China, a total 356 fusarioid isolates were obtained identified from diverse diseased healthy plants, or different environmental habitats, i.e., air, carbonatite, compost, faeces, soil water, representing hitherto one the most i...

The Sordariomycetes is one of the largest classes in the Ascomycota, and the majority of its species are characterized by perithecial ascomata and inoperculate unitunicate asci. It includes more than 600 genera with over 3000 species and represents a wide range of ecologies including pathogens and endophytes of plants, animal pathogens and mycoparasites. To test and refine the classification of...

The Mycosphaerellaceae represent thousands of fungal species that are associated with diseases on a wide range of plant hosts. Understanding and stabilising the taxonomy of genera and species of Mycosphaerellaceae is therefore of the utmost importance given their impact on agriculture, horticulture and forestry. Based on previous molecular studies, several phylogenetic and morphologically disti...

A multigene analysis of a combined ITS-LSU-SSU-rpb2-tef1 sequence data matrix was applied to infer the phylogenetic position of the genus Thyridaria in the Pleosporales. The generic type of Thyridaria, T. broussonetiae (syn. T. incrustans), is situated in a clade currently named Roussoellaceae, which becomes a synonym of Thyridariaceae. However, Thyridaria rubronotata does not belong to this cl...

We examined the role of yeast transcription initiation factor IIE (TFIIE) in eukaryotic transcription-coupled repair (TCR), the preferential removal of DNA damage from the transcribed strands of genes over non-transcribed sequences. TFIIE can recruit the transcription initiation/repair factor TFIIH to the RNA polymerase II (RNA pol II) initiation complex to facilitate promoter clearance. Follow...
