A review is provided of the current state understanding Colletotrichum systematics, focusing on species-level data and major clades. The taxonomic placement genus discussed, evolution our approach to species concepts anamorph-teleomorph relationships described. application multilocus technologies phylogenetic analysis reviewed, selection potential genes/loci for barcoding purposes discussed. Host specificity its relation speciation taxonomy briefly addressed. short presented status...
Colletotrichum acutatum is known as an important anthracnose pathogen of a wide range host plants worldwide. Numerous studies have reported subgroups within the C. species complex. Multilocus molecular phylogenetic analysis (ITS, ACT, TUB2, CHS-1, GAPDH, HIS3) 331 strains previously identified and other related taxa, including from numerous hosts with geographic distributions, confirmed groups recognised series novel taxa. Thirty-one are accepted, which 21 not been recognised. orchidophilum...
Although only recently described, Colletotrichum boninense is well established in literature as an anthracnose pathogen or endophyte of a diverse range host plants worldwide. It especially prominent on members Amaryllidaceae, Orchidaceae, Proteaceae and Solanaceae. Reports from preliminary studies using ITS sequence data indicated that C. represents species complex. A multilocus molecular phylogenetic analysis (ITS, ACT, TUB2, CHS-1, GAPDH, HIS3, CAL) 86 strains previously identified other...
The Amsterdam Declaration on Fungal Nomenclature was agreed at an international symposium convened in 19-20 April 2011 under the auspices of International Commission Taxonomy Fungi (ICTF). purpose to address issue whether or how current system naming pleomorphic fungi should be maintained changed now that molecular data are routinely available. is urgent as mycologists currently follow different practices, and no consensus achieved by a Special Committee appointed 2005 Botanical Congress...
Colletotrichum interacts with numerous plant species overtly as symptomatic pathogens and cryptically asymptomatic endophytes. It is not known whether these contrasting ecological modes are optional strategies expressed by individual or a species' ecology explicitly pathogenic endophytic. We explored this question inferring relationships among 77 C. gloeosporioides s.l. strains isolated from leaves anthracnose lesions on fruits of Theobroma cacao (cacao) other plants Panamá. ITS 5'-tef1 were...
Endophytic fungi were isolated from living symptomless leaves of 12 tree species two locations in the Iwokrama Forest Reserve, Guyana. Sixty-four fungal morphotaxa characterized 2492 cultures, which derived a total 2520 sample units. Species Colletotrichum, Nodulisporium, Pestalotiopsis and Phomopsis most frequently isolated. Colonization was greater samples midrib than those laminar tissue, slightly at tip lamina compared with base leaf. In contrast to studies temperate ecosystems, no...
With the recent changes concerning pleomorphic fungi in new International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), it is necessary to propose acceptance or protection sexual morph-typified asexual generic names that do not have priority, rejection suppression1 competing names. In addition, names, where widely used, must be proposed suppression favour latter conservation protection. Some pragmatic criteria used deciding include: number name required when one over another,...
In advancing to one name for fungi, this paper treats generic names competing use in the order Diaporthales (Ascomycota, Sordariomycetes) and makes a recommendation or protection of among synonymous that may be either sexually asexually typified. A table is presented summarizes these recommendations. Among genera most commonly encountered order, Cytospora recommended over Valsa Diaporthe Phomopsis. New combinations are introduced oldest epithet important species genus. These include...
With the advance to one scientific name for each fungal species, generic names in class Sordariomycetes typified by sexual and asexual morphs are evaluated based on their type species determine if they compete with other use or protection. Recommendations made which of competing should be used criteria such as priority, number potential changes, frequency use. Some recommendations well- known genera include Arthrinium over Apiospora, Colletotrichum Glomerella, Menispora Zignoella,...
Objective The aim of this study was to search for genes/variants that modify the effect LRRK2 mutations in terms penetrance and age‐at‐onset Parkinson's disease. Methods We performed first genomewide association disease mutation carriers (776 cases 1,103 non‐cases at their last evaluation). Cox proportional hazard models linear mixed were used identify modifiers mutations, respectively. also investigated whether a polygenic risk score derived from published able explain variability carriers....

The presentations of the Special Interest Group meeting Colletotrichum: species, ecology and interactions, held on 1 August 2010 during IMC9 in Edinburgh, UK, are outlined. Seven research projects, ranged from systematics population genetics to host-pathogen interactions genome projects were presented. revealed that currently major species complexes genus Colletotrichum being revised identities many pathogens clarified basis molecular phylogenies, genomes four sequenced decoded providing an...
Volutella colletotrichoides is shown to belong the Plectosphaerellaceae rather than Hypocreales where other species of that genus reside. The new Lectera described for V. colletotrichoides, and a further, previously undescribed with slightly longer conidia differences in rDNA ITS glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) sequences. are found be soil-dwelling organisms associated particularly Fabaceae, L. demonstrated pathogen Cicer arietinum grain legumes.
ABSTRACT A total of 161 fungal isolates were obtained from the surface-sterilized roots field-grown oat and wheat plants in order to investigate nature root-colonizing fungi supported by these two cereals. Fungi initially grouped according their colony morphologies then further characterized ribosomal DNA sequence analysis. The collection contained a wide range ascomycetes also some basidiomycete fungi. subsequently assessed for abilities tolerate degrade antifungal root saponin, avenacin...
Colletotrichum spp. are known to occur on and cause diseases of Proteaceae, but their identities confused poorly understood. The aim the present study thus was identify accurately associated with cultivated Proteaceae. proteaceous hosts growing in various parts world were identified based morphology, sequence data internal transcribed spacer region (ITS-1, ITS-2), 5.8S gene, partial sequences β-tubulin gene. Four species found be gloeosporioides, a cosmopolitan numerous hosts, isolated from...
