TL;DR: A comprehensive phylogenetic classification of the kingdom Fungi is proposed, with reference to recent molecular phylogenetic analyses, and with input from diverse members of the fungal taxonomic community.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new fungal phylum, the Glomeromycota: phylogeny and evolution
TL;DR: The ecologically and economically important arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, crucial in the ecology and physiology of land plants, and the endocytobiotic fungus, Geosiphon pyriformis, are phylogenetically analysed by their small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene sequences and placed into a new monophyletic phylum, the Glomeromycota.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic reference data for systematics and phylotaxonomy of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi from phylum to species level
TL;DR: This study provides a reference data set for molecular systematics and environmental community analyses of AMF, including analyses based on deep sequencing, providing reliable and robust resolution from phylum to species level.
Journal ArticleDOI
An evidence-based consensus for the classification of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycota)
Dirk Redecker,Arthur Schüßler,Herbert Stockinger,Sidney Luiz Stürmer,Joseph B. Morton,Christopher Walker,Christopher Walker +6 more
TL;DR: This study is the outcome, wherein the classification of Glomeromycota is revised by rejecting some new names on the grounds that they are founded in error and by synonymizing others that, while validly published, are not evidence-based.
Journal ArticleDOI
Populations of endogonaceous fungi at two locations in central Iowa
TL;DR: Two different sites in central Iowa were planted with hybrid poplars and subsequently sampled over a growing season for spores of endogonaceous fungi to study the effects of plowing on the spread of these fungi.
