Six DNA regions were evaluated as potential barcodes for Fungi , the second largest kingdom of eukaryotic life, by a multinational, multilaboratory consortium. The region mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 used animal barcode was excluded marker, because it is difficult to amplify in fungi, often includes large introns, and can be insufficiently variable. Three subunits from nuclear ribosomal RNA cistron compared together with three representative protein-coding genes (largest...
The aim of this study was to assess potential candidate gene regions and corresponding universal primer pairs as secondary DNA barcodes for the fungal kingdom, additional ITS rDNA primary barcode. Amplification efficiencies 14 (partially) targeting eight genetic markers were tested across > 1 500 species (1 931 strains or specimens) outcomes almost twenty thousand (19 577) polymerase chain reactions evaluated. We several well-known that amplify: i) sections nuclear ribosomal RNA large...

The genus Ceratocystis was established in 1890 and accommodates many important fungi. These include serious plant pathogens, significant insect symbionts agents of timber degradation that result substantial economic losses. Virtually since its type described from sweet potatoes, the taxonomy has been confused vigorously debated. In recent years, particulary during last two decades, it become very obvious this includes a wide diversity different have roughly lumped together due to their...
One of the causal agents human sporotrichosis, Sporothrix schenckii, is type species genus Sporothrix. During course last century asexual morphs many Ophiostoma spp. have also been treated in More recently several DNA-based studies suggested that and converge what has become known as s. lat. Were one fungus name principles adopted Melbourne Code to be applied lat., would priority over Ophiostoma, resulting more than 100 new combinations. The consequence changes for economically important...

Industrial anomaly detection involves identifying abnormal regions in products and plays a crucial role quality inspection. While 2D image-based has been extensively explored, combining two-dimensional (2D) images with three-dimensional (3D) point clouds remains less studied. Existing multimodal methods often combine features from different modalities, leading to feature interference degraded performance. To overcome this, we propose novel framework for unsupervised industrial that leverages...
Research on the impact of fiscal policy and foreign direct investment (FDI) environmental quality has yielded conflicting results regarding their effects carbon dioxide emissions. To further explore asymmetric influences these two critical factors quality, we employ a nonlinear ARDL approach to examine how (GOEX), FDI inflows, other drivers CO2 emissions, such as trade openness, financial development, economic growth, affect in Vietnam from 1990 2022. Our findings indicate that positive...
Calonectria represents a genus of phytopathogenic ascomycetous fungi with worldwide distribution. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number taxonomic studies on these fungi. Currently, are 169 described species based comparisons DNA sequence data, combined morphological characteristics. However, for some species, data utilised at time their description were relatively limited. This justified urgent need to reconsider boundaries robust genus-wide phylogenetic analyses. this...
Abstract Species of Armillaria are distributed globally and include some the most important pathogens forest ornamental trees. Some them form large long-living clones that considered as one largest organisms on earth capable long-range spore-mediated transfer well vegetative spread by drought-resistant hyphal cords called rhizomorphs. However, virus community infecting these species has remained unknown. In this study we used dsRNA screening high-throughput sequencing to search for possible...
Grosmannia serpens was first described from pine in Italy 1936 and it has been recorded subsequently many countries both the northern southern hemispheres. The fungus is vectored primarily by root-infesting bark beetles reported to contribute pine-root diseases South Africa. objective of this study consider identity a global collection isolates not previously available using DNA sequence-based comparisons applied most these isolates. Phylogenetic analyses ITS2-LSU, actin, beta-tubulin,...
Changes in symbiont assemblages can affect the success and impact of invasive species, may provide knowledge regarding invasion histories their vectors. Bark beetle symbioses are ideal systems to study changes resulting from invasions. The red turpentine (Dendroctonus valens) is a bark species that recently invaded China its native range North America. It associated with ophiostomatalean fungi both locations, although have previously been well-surveyed only China. We surveyed D. valens...
The genomes of Ceratocystis eucalypticola, Chrysoporthe cubensis, deuterocubensis, Davidsoniella virescens, Fusarium temperatum, Graphilbum fragrans, Penicillium nordicum and Thielaviopsis musarum are presented in this genome announcement. These seven from plant pathogens otherwise economically important fungal species. sizes range 28 Mb the case T. to 45 for temperatum. include first reports genera Davidsoniella, Thielaviopsis. availability these data will provide opportunities resolve...
The plant pathogenic asexual fungus Thielaviopsis basicola (Ascomycota) causes black root rot on many important agricultural and ornamental species. Since its first description in 1850, this species has had a tumultuous taxonomic history, being classified different genera. Thus far, DNA ‐based techniques have not played significant role identification of T. been used only to confirm placement the Microascales. This investigation reconsidered phylogenetic , using sequence data for six gene...
Recent reclassification of the Ceratocystidaceae (Microascales) based on multi-gene phylogenetic inference has shown that oak wilt fungus Ceratocystis fagacearum does not reside in any four genera which it previously been treated. In this study, we resolve typification problems for fungus, confirm synonymy Chalara quercina (the first name applied to fungus) and Endoconidiophora when sexual state was discovered). Furthermore, generic placement species determined DNA sequences from...
The Ophiostomatales is an Ascomycete order of fungi that accommodates several tree pathogens and many species degrade wood. These are commonly vectored by Scolytine bark ambrosia beetles. In recent years it has also been shown hyperphoretic mites on these beetles can vector some Ophiostomatales. Little known regarding the in China we have consequently explored diversity associated with conifer-infesting Yunnan province. Galleries were collected for 17 beetle species, while 13 mite obtained...

Abstract Background Phytophthora cinnamomi is an oomycete pathogen of global relevance. It considered as one the most invasive species, which has caused irreversible damage to natural ecosystems and horticultural crops. There currently a lack high-quality reference genome for this species despite several attempts that have been made towards sequencing its genome. The good quality sequence setback various genetic genomic research be done on species. As consequence, little known regarding...
