    Article 59.1, of the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants (ICN; Melbourne Code), which addresses the nomenclature of pleomorphic fungi, became effective from 30 July 2011. Since that date, each fungal species can have one nomenclaturally correct name in a particular classification. All other previously used names for this species will be considered as synonyms. The older generic epithet takes priority over the younger name. Any widely used younger names proposed for use, must comply with Art. 57.2 and their usage should be approved by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi (NCF). In this paper, we list all genera currently accepted by us in Dothideomycetes (belonging to 23 orders and 110 families), including pleomorphic and non-pleomorphic genera. In the case of pleomorphic genera, we follow the rulings of the current ICN and propose single generic names for future usage. The taxonomic placements of 1261 genera are listed as an outline. Protected names and suppressed names for 34 pleomorphic genera are listed separately. Notes and justifications are provided for possible proposed names after the list of genera. Notes are also provided on recent advances in our understanding of asexual and sexual morph linkages in Dothideomycetes. A phylogenetic tree based on four gene analyses supported 23 orders and 75 families, while 35 families still lack molecular data

    High-level classification of the Fungi and a tool for evolutionary ecological analyses

    Get PDF
    High-throughput sequencing studies generate vast amounts of taxonomic data. Evolutionary ecological hypotheses of the recovered taxa and Species Hypotheses are difficult to test due to problems with alignments and the lack of a phylogenetic backbone. We propose an updated phylum-and class-level fungal classification accounting for monophyly and divergence time so that the main taxonomic ranks are more informative. Based on phylogenies and divergence time estimates, we adopt phylum rank to Aphelidiomycota, Basidiobolomycota, Calcarisporiellomycota, Glomeromycota, Entomophthoromycota, Entorrhizomycota, Kickxellomycota, Monoblepharomycota, Mortierellomycota and Olpidiomycota. We accept nine subkingdoms to accommodate these 18 phyla. We consider the kingdom Nucleariae (phyla Nuclearida and Fonticulida) as a sister group to the Fungi. We also introduce a perl script and a newick-formatted classification backbone for assigning Species Hypotheses into a hierarchical taxonomic framework, using this or any other classification system. We provide an example of testing evolutionary ecological hypotheses based on a global soil fungal data set.Peer reviewe

    This article provides an outline of the classification of the kingdom Fungi (including fossil fungi. i.e. dispersed spores, mycelia, sporophores, mycorrhizas). We treat 19 phyla of fungi. These are Aphelidiomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiobolomycota, Basidiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Calcarisporiellomycota, Caulochytriomycota, Chytridiomycota, Entomophthoromycota, Entorrhizomycota, Glomeromycota, Kickxellomycota, Monoblepharomycota, Mortierellomycota, Mucoromycota, Neocallimastigomycota, Olpidiomycota, Rozellomycota and Zoopagomycota. The placement of all fungal genera is provided at the class-, order- and family-level. The described number of species per genus is also given. Notes are provided of taxa for which recent changes or disagreements have been presented. Fungus-like taxa that were traditionally treated as fungi are also incorporated in this outline (i.e. Eumycetozoa, Dictyosteliomycetes, Ceratiomyxomycetes and Myxomycetes). Four new taxa are introduced: Amblyosporida ord. nov. Neopereziida ord. nov. and Ovavesiculida ord. nov. in Rozellomycota, and Protosporangiaceae fam. nov. in Dictyosteliomycetes. Two different classifications (in outline section and in discussion) are provided for Glomeromycota and Leotiomycetes based on recent studies. The phylogenetic reconstruction of a four-gene dataset (18S and 28S rRNA, RPB1, RPB2) of 433 taxa is presented, including all currently described orders of fungi

    The evolution of fungal epiphytes

    No full text
    Fungal epiphytes are a polyphyletic group found on the surface of plants, particularly on leaves, with a worldwide distribution. They belong in the phylum Ascomycota, which contains the largest known number of fungal genera. There has been little research dating the origins of the common ancestors of fungal epiphytes. This study uses a molecular clock to provide a rough time frame for the origins of fungal epiphytes in the orders Asterinales, Capnodiales, Meliolales, Microthyriales and Zeloasperisporiales. LSU, SSU, RPB1 and RPB2 sequence data from representative strains of the major classes of Ascomycota are used to represent internal calibration points in the phylogenetic tree, to estimate divergence times of fungal epiphyte lineages. The estimated date crowns of fungal epiphytes included in the orders Asterinales, Capnodiales, Meliolales occur in the middle or the end of Jurassic, with Meliolales and Zeloasperisporiales occurring in the Cretaceous. Foliar epiphytes placed in totally unrelated classes evolved as early as the Permian (298.9 to 252.17 Mya) based on sequence data from representative foliar epiphytes and fossil calibrations. The evolution of the most closely related groups of fungi and foliar epiphytes occurred during the Triassic to Jurassic. Phylogenetic relationships, evolution of morphological characters and nutritional mode of foliar epiphytes are discussed

    Paramicrothyrium bambusae Tennakoon, S. Hongsanan & S. Lumyong sp. nov. (FIGURE 2) Index Fungorum Number: IF559725; Facesoffungi number: FoF11795 Etymology:—Name reflects the host genus Bambusa. Holotype:— MFLU 19-2729 Epiphytic on the upper surface of dead leaves of Bambusa vulgaris Schrad. (Poaceae), visible as small black dots. Sexual morph: Undetermined. Asexual morph: Thyriothecia 90–120 × 100–130 μm (x = 110 × 112 µm, n = 10), solitary, scattered, superficial, flattened, circular, dark brown to black, easily be removed from the substrate, poorly developed basal layer, with irregular, central ostiole, dark brown, irregularly rounded at the margin. Upper wall comprises brown cells of textura angularis, radiating in irregular, parallel lines from center to the outer rim. Conidiogenous cells evanescent. Conidia 3–4 × 1–2 µm (x = 3.7 × 1.2 μm, n = 30), hyaline, cylindrical with obtuse ends, unicellular, minute guttulate, straight or slightly curved, smooth-walled. Culture characteristics:— Colonies on PDA, 10–12 mm diam. after 4 weeks at 25 °C, colonies from above: medium dense, circular, raised, cottony, surface smooth, entire margin, white to cream at margin, white at center; reverse: white to yellowish at margin, light brown at center. Mycelium white to cream with tufting. Material examined:— Thailand, Chiang Mai, dead leaves of Bambusa vulgaris (Poaceae), 28 September 2018, D.S. Tennakoon, ADS046A (MFLU 19-2729, holotype); ex-type living culture, SDBR-CMU436. ibid. 29 September 2019, ADS046B (NCYU 19-0085, paratype); ex-paratype living culture, SDBR-CMU437. GenBank numbers:—MFLU 19-2729: ITS: ON751741; NCYU 19-0085: ITS: ON751742. Notes:—The phylogeny indicates that Paramicrothyrium bambusae (MFLU 19-2729 and NCYU 19-0085) forms a distinct lineage sister to P. chinensis isolates (IFRDCC2258 and IA20) with robust statistical support (100% ML, 99% MP, 1.00 BYPP, FIGURE 1). The morphology of P. bambusae fits well with the type species in having circular, dark brown to black thyriothecia with an irregular ostiole, without a darkened ring (Wu et al. 2011). However, we were unable to compare P. chinensis to the asexual morph of P. bambusae, since only the sexual morph was available for that species (Wu et al. 2011). Therefore, we compared the base pair differences between P. bambusae and P. chinensis and there were 25 base pair differences (4.14%) across 603 nucleotides across the ITS (+ 5.8S) gene region. In addition, P. bambusae has smaller thyriothecia (90–120 × 100–130 μm), whereas P. chinensis has significantly larger thyriothecia (420–590 μm diam.) (Wu et al. 2011). However, further collections are needed to clarify the sexual and asexual connection of Paramicrothyrium species.Published as part of Tennakoon, Danushka S., Hongsanan, Sinang, De Silva, Nimali I., Suwannarach, Nakarin & Lumyong, Saisamorn, 2023, Molecular phylogeny and morphological characterization of Paramicrothyrium bambusae sp. nov. and Tumidispora thailandica sp. nov. from leaf litter, pp. 112-124 in Phytotaxa 578 (1) on page 117, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.578.1.6, http://zenodo.org/record/751773

    The evolution of Massarineae with Longipedicellataceae fam. nov.

    No full text
    Massarineae is a suborder of Pleosporales, the latter being the largest order in Dothideomycetes. Massarineae comprises 14 families and six taxa of uncertain placement. In this study, we introduce an additional new family, Longipedicellataceae in Massarineae, which accommodates the genera Longipedicellata and Pseudoxylomyces. The family inhabits submerged culms of plants in freshwater habitats. The family can be distinguished by its very long pedicellate asci and chlamydospore-like structures, which are produced in culture. A LSU, SSU, and RPB2 dataset from representative strains used in our phylogenetic analyses shows the separation of Longipedicellataceae from the other families of Massarineae. In addition, divergence times of families in Massarineae were estimated using a molecular clock methodology. We used an Eocene fossil of Margaretbarromyces dictyosporus to estimate dates in Pleosporales with emphasis on Massarineae. In this study, the crown of Pleosporales is dated to the late Triassic (211 Mya), while the suborder Massarineae is dated to the Cretaceous (130 Mya) and family Longipedicellataceae is dated to Eocene (56 Mya)

    Refined families of Dothideomycetes: Dothideomycetidae and Pleosporomycetidae

    Get PDF
    The class Dothideomycetes is the largest and most ecologically diverse class of fungi, comprising endophytes, epiphytes, saprobes, human and plant pathogens, lichens, and lichenicolous, nematode trapping and rock-inhabiting taxa. Members of this class are mainly characterized by bitunicate asci with fissitunicate dehiscence, and occur on broad range of hosts in aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Since the last monograph of families of Dothideomycetes in 2013, numerous novel species, genera, families and orders have been discovered. This has expanded information which has led to the modern classification in Dothideomycetes. In this paper, we provide a refined updated document on families of Dothideomycetes with emphasis on Dothideomycetidae and Pleosporomycetidae. We accept three orders with 25 families and four orders with 94 families in Dothideomycetidae and Pleosporomycetidae, respectively. The new family Paralophiostomataceae is introduced in Pleosporales. Each family is provided with an updated description, notes, including figures to represent the morphology, list of accepted genera, and economic and ecological significances. We also provide an overall phylogenetic tree of families in Dothideomycetes based on combined analysis of LSU, SSU, rpb-2 and tefl sequence data, and phylogenetic trees for each order in Dothideomycetidae and Pleosporomycetidae. Family-level trees are provided for the families which include several genera such as Mycosphaerellaceae and Teratosphaeriaceae. Two new genera (Ligninsphaeriopsis and Paralophiostoma) are introduced. Five new species (Biatrisopora borsei, Comoclathris galatellae, Ligninsphaeriopsis thailandica, Paralophiostoma hysterioides and Torula thailandica) are introduced based on morphology and phylogeny, together with nine new reports and seven new collections from different families
