Nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region as a universal DNA barcode marker for Fungi

Conrad L. Schoch, +160 more
TL;DR: Among the regions of the ribosomal cistron, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region has the highest probability of successful identification for the broadest range of fungi, with the most clearly defined barcode gap between inter- and intraspecific variation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex

TL;DR: The limit of the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex is defined genetically, based on a strongly supported clade within the Col letteredum ITS gene tree, as well as all taxa accepted within this clade, as it has been applied in the literature for the past 50 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Colletotrichum - current status and future directions.

TL;DR: A review is provided of the current state of understanding of Colletotrichum systematics, focusing on species-level data and the major clades, and the taxonomic placement of the genus is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Finding needles in haystacks: Linking scientific names, reference specimens and molecular data for Fungi

Conrad L. Schoch, +101 more
- 30 Jun 2014 - 
TL;DR: A set of standards and protocols are proposed to improve the data quality of new sequences, and it is suggested how type and other reference sequences can be used to improve identification of Fungi.
Journal Article

A polyphasic approach for studying Colletotrichum

TL;DR: This paper proposed a polyphasic approach to the recognition and identification of species within Colletotrichum, matching genetic distinctness with informative morphological and biological characters, including morphology, pathogenicity, physiology, phylogenetics and secondary metabolite production.
