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

Glomalean Fungi from the Ordovician

TL;DR: Fossilized fungal hyphae and spores from the Ordovician of Wisconsin strongly resemble modern arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomales, Zygomycetes), indicating that Glomales-like fungi were present at a time when the land flora most likely only consisted of plants on the bryophytic level.
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 ArticleDOI

Communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in arable soils are not necessarily low in diversity

TL;DR: Data show that the diversity of AMF is not always low in arable soils, and suggests that low‐input agriculture involving crop rotation may provide better conditions to preserve AMF diversity, by preventing the selection for the few AMF taxa tolerating high nutrient levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ancestral lineages of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomales).

TL;DR: Using new and existing 18S rRNA sequence data, it is shown that at least five species of glomalean fungi lie outside the previously defined families and diverged very early in the evolution of that group.
