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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The magnitude of fungal diversity: the 1.5 million species estimate revisited
TL;DR: The number of known species of fungi is estimated as at least 74 K, but could be as much as 120 K with allowances for ‘orphaned’ species as discussed by the authors, which is the current working hypothesis for the number of fungi on Earth.

FUSARIUM-ID v. 1.0: A DNA sequence database for identifying Fusarium
David M. Geiser,María del Mar Jiménez-Gasco,Seogchan Kang,Izabela Makalowska,Narayanan Veeraraghavan,Todd J. Ward,Ning Zhang,Gretchen A. Kuldau,Kerry O'Donnell +8 more
TL;DR: FUSARIUM-ID v. 1.0, a publicly available database of partial translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF) DNA sequences, presently representing a selected sample of the diversity of the genus diversity, with excellent representation of Type-B trichothecene toxin producers, and the Gibberella fujikuroi, Fusarium oxysporum and F. solani species complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene genealogies reveal global phylogeographic structure and reproductive isolation among lineages of Fusarium graminearum, the fungus causing wheat scab
TL;DR: To test whether the primary etiological agent of scab, the fungus Fusarium graminearum, is panmictic throughout its range, allelic genealogies were constructed from six single-copy nuclear genes from strains selected to represent the global genetic diversity of this pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genealogical concordance between the mating type locus and seven other nuclear genes supports formal recognition of nine phylogenetically distinct species within the Fusarium graminearum clade
TL;DR: Molecular evolutionary analyses indicate the MAT genes are under strong purifying selection and that they are functionally constrained, even in species for which a sexual state is unknown, and the phylogeny supports a monophyletic and apomorphic origin of homothallism within this clade.

ITS primers with enhanced specificity for basidiomycetes--application to the identification of mycorrhizae and rusts.
M. Gardes,Thomas D. Bruns +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two taxon-selective primers for the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region in the nuclear ribosomal repeat unit were proposed, which were intended to be specific to fungi and basidiomycetes, respectively.

MacClade: Analysis of phylogeny and character evolution
TL;DR: MacClade is a computer program that provides theory and tools for the graphic and interactive analysis of molecular and morphological data, phylogeny, and character evolution, yet its ease of use allows beginning students to grasp phylogenetic principles in an interactive environment.
