Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic lineages in the Botryosphaeriaceae
Pedro W. Crous,Bernard Slippers,Michael J. Wingfield,John P. Rheeder,Walter F. O. Marasas,Alan J.L. Philips,Artur Alves,Treena I. Burgess,Paul A. Barber,Johannes Z. Groenewald +9 more
TL;DR: DNA sequence data of the 28S rDNA is employed to resolve apparent lineages within the Botryosphaeriaceae and 10 lineages are recognised, including an unresolved clade including species of Camarosporium/Microdiplodia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Botryosphaeriaceae as endophytes and latent pathogens of woody plants: diversity, ecology and impact
TL;DR: It is, therefore, important to maximize the understanding of the ecology and pathology of the Botryosphaeriaceae, particularly as it relates to their endophytic nature, species richness, host switching ability and the host-fungus-environment interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Botryosphaeriaceae: genera and species known from culture
Alan J. L. Phillips,Artur Alves,Jafar Abdollahzadeh,Bernard Slippers,Michael J. Wingfield,Johannes Z. Groenewald,Pedro W. Crous,Pedro W. Crous +7 more
TL;DR: It seems likely that all of the older taxa linked to the Botryosphaeriaceae, and for which cultures or DNA sequence data are not available, cannot belinked to the species in this family that are known from culture, and will have to be disregarded for future use unless they are epitypified.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A genomic comparison of 6 dothideomycete genomes with other fungi finds a high level of unique protein associated with the class, supporting its delineation as a separate taxon.

TL;DR: The Amsterdam Declaration on Fungal Nomenclature recognizes the need for an orderly transitition to a single-name nomenclatural system for all fungi, and to provide mechanisms to protect names that otherwise then become endangered.
