Diversity and Cross-Infection Potential of Colletotrichum Causing Fruit Rots in Mixed-Fruit Orchards in Kentucky

Madison J. Eaton et al.

Summary: Fungi in the genus Colletotrichum cause fruit rots in apples, blueberries, and strawberries, with accurate identification being crucial for effective management due to differences in aggressiveness and host specificity. Characterization of Colletotrichum isolates from Kentucky orchards revealed multiple species infecting different fruit types, with significant implications for cross-infection in mixed-fruit orchards. Molecular methods, including sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, proved useful in distinguishing between species and morphotypes affecting various fruit crops.

Phylogenetic diversity, trichothecene potential, and pathogenicity within Fusarium sambucinum species complex

Imane Laraba et al.

Summary: The study analyzed 171 strains from diverse hosts or substrates, revealing their distribution among six distinct clades, most of which could produce trichothecenes in vitro. Two putative novel species within the Sambucinum Clade were discovered to produce newly identified type A trichothecenes.

In honor of John Bissett: authoritative guidelines on molecular identification of Trichoderma

Feng Cai et al.

Summary: Modern taxonomy is moving towards establishing global authoritative lists of species, but in fungi, species delimitation is often subjective, which complicates accurate identification. The genus Trichoderma offers insights into the challenges of species identification and highlights the need for cooperation among researchers in handling upcoming genomic data.

Investigating species boundaries in Colletotrichum

Chitrabhanu S. Bhunjun et al.

Summary: This study utilized multiple molecular approaches to establish species boundaries in Colletotrichum, finding that the ITS region can resolve species complex level issues and that GAPDH and TUB2 markers are the most informative. The introduction of a new species complex was based on congruent results from different molecular approaches. Coalescent methods and multi-locus phylogeny are crucial for establishing species boundaries in Colletotrichum.

Genome-Wide Analyses of Repeat-Induced Point Mutations in the Ascomycota

Stephanie van Wyk et al.

Summary: The RIP mutation pathway is a fungus-specific defense mechanism that introduces cytosine to thymine transitions in targeted sequences. Through genome-wide analysis in Ascomycota, it was found that most fungi had RIP mutations, especially in the Pezizomycotina classes. Extreme cases of RIP were limited to certain classes like Dothideomycetes and Sordariomycetes, while no evidence of RIP was found in Taphrinomycotina and Saccharomycotina genomes. Losses in RIP combined with controlled TE proliferation in certain groups may lead to genome enlargement and sub-genomic compartments.

Niloofar Vaghefi et al.

Summary: The taxonomy of 44 specimens of cercosporoid fungi from Hawaii and New York, USA, was elucidated through multi-locus phylogenetic analyses, revealing four new Cercospora species. Additionally, the first report of Strelitziana africana in the USA was documented among other confirmations and new combinations within the Cercospora genus.

Characterization of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum Races in Zambia and Evaluation of the CIAT Phaseolus Core Collection for Resistance to Anthracnose

Zombe Nalupya et al.

Summary: This study characterized isolates of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum collected from three major bean-growing districts in Zambia, and evaluated the CIAT Phaseolus core collection for resistance to specific races and a blend of 20 races. Results showed that certain bean accessions exhibited high resistance to specific races or a blend of races, indicating their potential as valuable breeding resources for durable resistance development.

Fungal taxonomy and sequence-based nomenclature

Robert Lucking et al.

Summary: Identifying and naming microfungi, especially plant, animal, and human pathogens, remains a challenge. Molecular identification is increasingly used, and environmental metabarcoding is generating a vast amount of sequence data to document global fungal diversity. Solutions for naming taxa known only from sequences are proposed based on bacterial taxonomy methods.

Ribovore: ribosomal RNA sequence analysis for GenBank submissions and database curation

Alejandro A. Schaffer et al.

Summary: The DNA sequences encoding ribosomal RNA genes are commonly used as markers to identify species. Ribovore is a software package developed to analyze the quality, origin, and loci boundaries of rRNA sequences. It combines single-sequence and profile-based methods to improve GenBank processing and analysis of rRNA sequences.

Using Genealogical Concordance and Coalescent-Based Species Delimitation to Assess Species Boundaries in the Diaporthe eres Complex

Sandra Hilario et al.

Summary: DNA sequence analysis is crucial for species delimitation in Diaporthe, but combining multiple genes without genealogical concordance criteria complicates species delimitation. Using GCPSR and PTPs methods, the D. eres complex was identified as a single species, contrary to the current recognition of multiple species. Absence of reproductive isolation and low genetic diversity indices suggest D. eres constitutes a population rather than distinct lineages.
