Abstract The nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer ( ITS ) region is the formal fungal barcode and in most cases marker of choice for exploration diversity environmental samples. Two problems are particularly acute pursuit satisfactory taxonomic assignment newly generated sequences: (i) lack an inclusive, reliable public reference data set (ii) means to refer species, which no Latin name available a standardized stable way. Here, we report on progress these regards through further...
DNA phylogenetic comparisons have shown that morphology-based species recognition often underestimates fungal diversity. Therefore, the need for accurate sequence data, tied to both correct taxonomic names and clearly annotated specimen has never been greater. Furthermore, growing number of molecular ecology microbiome projects using high-throughput sequencing require fast effective methods en masse assignments. In this article, we focus on selecting re-annotating a set marker reference...
Fungi of the recently defined order Sebacinales (Basidiomycota) are involved in a wide spectrum mutualistic symbioses (including mycorrhizae) with various plants, thereby exhibiting unique potential for biocontrol strategies. The axenically cultivable root endophyte Piriformospora indica is model organism this fungal order. It able to increase biomass and grain yield crop plants. In barley, induces local systemic resistance diseases abiotic stress. To elucidate lifestyle P. , we analyzed its...
Recently, the world's first ever power electronic traction transformer (PETT) for a 15-kV 16.7-Hz railway grid has been newly developed, commissioned, and installed on test locomotive, where PETT is presently in use. The design development of are described two parts this paper. details related to 1.2-MVA medium voltage (MV) prototype, including electrical circuit, sizing characterization insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) devices, medium-frequency transformer, cooling system design,...
Abstract The Basidiomycota constitutes a major phylum of the kingdom Fungi and is second in species numbers to Ascomycota. present work provides an overview all validly published, currently used basidiomycete genera date single document. An outline provided, which includes 1928 names, with 1263 synonyms, are distributed 241 families, 68 orders, 18 classes four subphyla. We provide brief notes for each accepted genus including information on classification, number species, type life mode,...
Section Calochroi is one of the most species-rich lineages in genus Cortinarius (Agaricales, Basidiomycota) and widely distributed across boreo-nemoral areas, with some extensions into meridional zones. Previous phylogenetic studies (incl. section Fulvi) have been geographically restricted; therefore, biogeographic relationships within this lineage at a global scale largely unknown. In study, we obtained DNA sequences from nearly complete taxon sampling known species Europe, Central America...

This marks an important milestone world. The design development of PETT are described this paper, low-voltage...
Abstract Context: A Machine Learning based System (MLS) is a software system including one or more components that learn how to perform task from given data set. The increasing adoption of MLSs in safety critical domains such as autonomous driving, healthcare, and finance has fostered much attention towards the quality assurance systems. Despite advances testing, bring novel unprecedented challenges, since their behaviour defined jointly by code implements them used for training them....
In order to investigate phylogenetic relationships of the Peronosporomycetes (Oomycetes), nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA sequences containing D1 and D2 region were analyzed 92 species belonging orders Peronosporales, Pythiales, Leptomitales, Rhipidiales, Saprolegniales Sclerosporales. The data applying methods neighbor-joining as well maximum parsimony, both statistically supported using bootstrap method. results confirm major division between Pythiales Peronosporales on one hand...
Several achlorophyllous orchids associate with ectomycorrhizal hymenomycetes deriving carbon from surrounding trees for the plant. However, this has not been shown associating species of Rhizoctonia, a complex basal lineages that are most common orchid partners. We analysed Neottia nidus-avis, an symbiotic to identify its symbionts by internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing. Analysis 61 root systems 23 French populations showed N. nidus-avis associates highly specifically group...
Inconspicuous basidiomycetes from the order Sebacinales are known to be involved in a puzzling variety of mutualistic plant-fungal symbioses (mycorrhizae), which presumably involve transport mineral nutrients. Recently few members this fungal not fitting definition and commonly referred as 'endophytes' have raised considerable interest by their ability enhance plant growth increase resistance host plants against abiotic stress factors pathogens. Using DNA-based detection electron microscopy,...
• Previous reports of sequences Sebacinales (basal Hymenomycetes) from ericoid mycorrhizas raised the question as to whether are common mycorrhizal associates Ericaceae, which usually considered associate with ascomycetes. Here, we sampled 239 36 species across world (Vaccinioideae and Ericoideae) 361 four basal Ericaceae lineages (Arbutoideae Monotropoideae) that do not form mycorrhizas, but ectendomycorrhizas. were detected using sebacinoidspecific primers for nuclear 28S ribosomal DNA,...
Many non–photosynthetic vascular plants in 10 diverse families obtain all of their carbon from fungi, but most cases the fungi and ultimate sources are unknown. In a few cases, such have been shown to be epiparasitic because they neighbouring green through shared mycorrhizal fungi. found specialize upon narrow lineages ecto– or arbuscular Here we show that non–vascular plant, liverwort Cryptothallus mirabilis, is specialized on Tulasnella species form ectomycorrhizae with surrounding trees...
Nuclear ribosomal genes in most eukaryotes are present multiple copies and often used for taxonomic phylogenetic analyses. We comprehensively examined intragenomic polymorphism levels of three nuclear loci four important plant pathogenic fungi by polymerase chain reaction amplification cloning. Here, we show that single nucleotide polymorphisms an unexpectedly high amount. This might have implications studies fungal evolution, phylogenetics, population genetics. Furthermore, our work...
Abstract Lady's slipper orchids ( Cypripedium spp.) are rare terrestrial plants that grow throughout the temperate Northern Hemisphere. Like all orchids, they require mycorrhizal fungi for germination and seedling nutrition. The nutritional relationships of adult mycorrhizae unclear; however, distribution may be limited by specificity, whether this specificity occurs only during stage or carries on into adulthood. We attempted to identify primary symbionts 100 plants, successfully did so...
In this study we provide a phylogenetically based introduction to the classes and orders of Pucciniomycotina (= Urediniomycetes), one three subphyla Basidiomycota. More than 8000 species have been described including putative saprotrophs parasites plants, animals fungi. The overwhelming majority these (approximately 90%) belong single order obligate plant pathogens, Pucciniales Uredinales), or rust We assembled dataset previously published newly generated sequence data from two nuclear rDNA...
Diphosphorylated inositol polyphosphates, also referred to as pyrophosphates, are important signaling molecules that regulate critical cellular activities in many eukaryotic organisms, such membrane trafficking, telomere maintenance, ribosome biogenesis, and apoptosis. In mammals fungi, two distinct classes of phosphate kinases mediate biosynthesis pyrophosphates: Kcs1/IP6K- Vip1/PPIP5K-like proteins. Here, we report PPIP5K homologs widely distributed plants Arabidopsis thaliana VIH1 VIH2...
Although coevolution is acknowledged to occur in nature, coevolutionary patterns symbioses not involving species‐to‐species relationships are poorly understood. Mycorrhizal plants thought be too generalist coevolve with their symbiotic fungi; yet some plants, including orchids, exhibit strikingly narrow mycorrhizal specificity. Here, we assess the evolutionary history of specificity lady's slipper orchid genus, Cypripedium. We sampled 90 populations 15 taxa across three continents, using DNA...
