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,...
SUMMARY Leaves of Quercus ilex taken from sites in England, Majorca and Switzerland have been studied to detect the influence geographic position host within outside its native range on composition endophytic fungal assemblages. Samples stem tissue Q. collected Swiss trees were also confirm tissue‐specific differences. Sixty different taxa isolated, but only 28 frequent. Of total number isolates leaves Swiss, British Spanish 87%, 31% 63%, respectively, coelomycetes. Four species Phomopsis ,...
Rosellinia (Xylariaceae) is a large, cosmopolitan genus comprising over 130 species that have been defined based mainly on the morphology of their sexual morphs. The comprises both lignicolous and saprotrophic are frequently isolated as endophytes from healthy host plants, important plant pathogens. In order to evaluate utility molecular phylogeny secondary metabolite profiling achieve better basis for classification, set strains was selected multi-locus inferred combination sequences...
A comparative study of isolates and their corresponding herbarium specimens Gremmeniella spp. from pine, spruce, balsam fir, Ascocalyx laricina larch, abietis fir was conducted using morphological cultural characteristics as well electrophoresis tests on 12 10 – 15% gradient polyacrylamide gels. In addition, the conidia ascospores were treated with 4′,6-diamino-2-phenylindole to determine number nuclei per cell. is quite distinct in morphology its anamorph all other samples studied. The...
Endophytes were isolated from leaves, stems and roots of Dryas octopetala sampled in Switzerland Spitsbergen. Endophyte assemblages different sites at sampling times diverse. Seventy-three species the four examined 38 had frequencies more than 10% least one sample. Samples subalpine region generally richer those collected alpine or Arctic regions. Leaves tended to host endophyte taxa twigs roots.
Objectives Sleep-disordered breathing represents a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality negatively affects short-term long-term outcome after an ischemic stroke or transient attack. The effect of continuous positive airways pressure in patients with sleep-disordered acute cerebrovascular event is poorly known. SAS CARE 1 study assesses the effects on clinical evolution, vascular functions, markers within first three-months event. 2 events, as well functions at 12 24 months...
Forty-four isolates of Gremmeniella abietina from different European regions and laboratory strains G. Ascocalyx abietis, which originated regenerated protoplasts, were characterized morphologically by protein electrophoresis. On the basis electrophoretic profiles all tested, North American race is not present in Europe. Isolates Pinus cembra two Finnish differed slightly tester strain for race; their electromorphs very similar to that on other hosts but differences noticed would support...
Abstract Specimens labelled as Rosellinia (Xylariaceae) collected in New Zealand from the herbarium PDD were examined and could be identified belonging to species of genera Astrocystis, Helicogermslita, Rosellinia, Stilbohypoxylon. One new each Astrocystis Stilbohypoxylon four three them new, are described. Eighteen distinguished. Only two them, R. mammoidea radiciperda, already described Zealand. Five taxa assigned known eleven new. All described, illustrated, compared with similar taxa....
An unusual germination mechanism in ascospores of Hypoxylon fragiforme is described and illustrated. In this xylariaceous, endophytic fungus, always involved the emergence a bivalved, flexible structure from an outer rigid shell, formed by differentiated transparent wall layer, resulted exposure cell body. The series fast movements leading to activated their shells was termed spore eclosion. Eclosion necessary initial step germination, but eclosion without germ-tube production could be...
