On Page 1428, Table 5 is missing. It should be placed after this paragraph “In study, a total of 19 endemic species Borneo were recorded (Table 5). The highest number was found in S1 followed by S2 and S3. Four Dipterocarpaceae (Shorea crassa at S2; Shorea isopteran, parvistipulata Vatica micrantha S1) study area Three each from Fagaceae, Lauraceae Myrtaceae also documented during At similar el...

Phaffia rhodozyma (sexual form, Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous) is a basidiomycetous yeast that has been found in tree exudates in the Northern Hemisphere at high altitudes and latitudes. This yeast produces astaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment with biotechnological importance because it is used in aquaculture for fish pigmentation. We isolated X. dendrorhous from the Southern Hemisphere (Patagonia...

Quercus fabri is a pioneer species of secondary succession in evergreen broadleaved forests in China. In this study, we isolated and developed 12 polymorphic and 2 monomorphic microsatellite loci for Q. fabri using the biotin-streptavidin capture method. We characterized 12 polymorphic loci in 52 individuals from two populations. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 23. The observed...

The authors present descriptions and illustrations of Amanita coryli, rarely featured in the mycological literature, based on molecularly characterised by nrITS sequences specimens from Balkan Peninsula (Bulgaria Turkey). collections studied here suggest that species is probably not restricted to presumed host-trees genus Corylus may also occur with some Fagaceae. Further, analysis previously r...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY The American Cross Timbers forest ecosystem runs from southeastern Kansas to Central Texas and is primarily composed of post oak (Quercus stellata). This old-growth forest currently occupies only about 2% of its ancestral range. To facilitate genetic research on this species, we developed microsatellite primers specific to post oak from reduced genomic librari...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Advances in digital imaging have made possible the creation of completely visual keys. By a visual key we mean a key based primarily on images, and that contains a minimal amount of text. Characters in visual keys are visually, not verbally defined. In this paper we create the first primarily visual key to a group of taxa, in this case the Fagaceae of the southeastern USA. W...
