Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic Species Recognition and Species Concepts in Fungi
John W. Taylor,David J. Jacobson,Scott Kroken,Takao Kasuga,David M. Geiser,David S. Hibbett,Matthew C. Fisher +6 more
TL;DR: A phylogenetic approach to recognize fungal species based on concordance of multiple gene genealogies is compared to those based on morphology and reproductive behavior.

TL;DR: A high-quality draft sequence of the N. crassa genome is reported, suggesting that RIP has had a profound impact on genome evolution, greatly slowing the creation of new genes through genomic duplication and resulting in a genome with an unusually low proportion of closely related genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rice phosphate transporters include an evolutionarily divergent gene specifically activated in arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis
TL;DR: Although cytological and physiological features of the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis seem to be conserved, the molecular components may differ significantly between distantly related plant species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomic analysis of type I polyketide synthase genes in pathogenic and saprobic ascomycetes
TL;DR: A phylogenomic approach was used to investigate the origin and diversity of fungal genes encoding putative PKSs that are predicted to synthesize type I PKs and found that the discontinuous distributions of orthologous P KSs among fungal species can be explained by gene duplication, divergence, and gene loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic Species, Reproductive Mode, and Specificity of the Green AlgaTrebouxiaForming Lichens with the Fungal GenusLetharia
Scott Kroken,John W. Taylor +1 more
TL;DR: One phylogenetic species of T. jamesii was found to have a recombining population structure, as two alleles of two loci were found in all four pairwise combinations among the haploid genotypes of that species, suggesting that Trebouxia, a genus in which sexual structures have never been observed, is nevertheless recombining.
