TL;DR: A total of 100 new species of lichenized fungi are described, representing a wide taxonomic and geographic range, and emphasizing the dire need for taxonomic expertise in lichenology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perithecial development by Gibberella zeae: a light microscopy study
Frances Trail,Ralph S. Common +1 more
TL;DR: The developmental sequence of perithecia from ho- mothallic Group II isolates of G. zeae was traced by light microscopy and typical croziers formed in the hymenium.
Journal ArticleDOI
A molecular phylogeny of Graphidaceae (Ascomycota, Lecanoromycetes, Ostropales) including 428 species

TL;DR: A comprehensive molecular phylogeny of the lichen family Graphidaceae (subfamilies Graphidoideae and Fissurinoideae) based on partial sequences of the mtSSU, nuLSU rDNA, and RPB2 loci confirms that rounded and lirellate ascomata evolved multiple times in unrelated clades within the family.
The lichens of Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park, Florida: Proceedings from the 18th Tuckerman Workshop

TL;DR: The 18th Tuckerman Workshop, an annual gathering of professional and amateur lichenologists and mycologists from the United States and Canada, with additional participants from Puerto Rico, Peru, and Austria, was held at this locality from March 1–7, 2009, and produced a total of 432 taxa, 18 of which are new to science and 89 are additions to the North America checklist.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptome analyses during fruiting body formation in Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium verticillioides reflect species life history and ecology.
Usha Rani Sikhakolli,Francesc López-Giráldez,Ning Li,Ralph S. Common,Jeffrey P. Townsend,Frances Trail +5 more
TL;DR: Simultaneous examination of morphological development and stage-specific gene expression suggests that degeneration of the paraphyses during sexual development is an apoptotic process, and differences in gene expression reflect the greater role of fruiting bodies in the life cycle and ecology of F. verticillioides.
