TLDR
This study extracted fungal DNA from spores of Cronartium and its anamorphic genus Peridermium, causing severe economic and aesthetic damage to pines in forests and parks throughout the northern hemisphere.Abstract:
Species in Cronartium and its anamorphic genus Peridermium form a morphologically homoge- neous group of rust fungi that infect stems, branches, and cones of Pinus species in North and Central America, Asia, and Europe. Several species are im- portant forest pathogens, causing severe economic and aesthetic damage to pines in forests and parks throughout the northern hemisphere. Morphologi- cal characters have been used to distinguish among these rust fungi, but have proven inadequate for as- sessing phylogenetic relationships within the group. In this study, we extracted fungal DNA from sporesread more

TL;DR: Divergence times as additional criterion in ranking provide additional evidence to resolve taxonomic problems in the Basidiomycota taxonomic system, and also provide a better understanding of their phylogeny and evolution.

Use of atp6 in fungal phylogenetics: an example from the boletales.
TL;DR: Results show that atp6 is likely to provide phylogenetic resolution within fungal classes but not at higher taxonomic levels, and because of the strong A + T bias in fungal mitochondrial genomes, A/T transversions were found to be more common than any other type of substitution, resulting in transversions being about two to three times more common in most pairwise sequence comparisons.

Phylogeny of the rust fungi: an approach using nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA sequences
TL;DR: Neighbor joining analysis and a Bayesian method of phylogenetic inference using Monte Carlo Markov chains confirm the rust fungi as a natural group and indicate that Puccinia, Uromyces, Endophyllum, and Cumminsiella have a common origin.

Melampsora ‹columbiana, a natural hybrid of M. medusae and M. occidentalis
TL;DR: Isolates with hybrid urediniospore morphology but homozygous for ITS sequences from M. medusae or M. occidentalis were also found, suggesting that the primary F1 hybrids have produced F2 and/or backcross progeny.

Patterns of association between crucifers and their flower-mimic pathogens: host jumps are more common than coevolution or cospeciation
TL;DR: This article examined the pattern of association between the crucifer rusts and their hosts by comparing independent host phylogenies (based on both cpDNA trnL-F introns and nuclear internal transcribed spacer [ITS] sequences) with that of their rust pathogens.

DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors
TL;DR: A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.

The neighbor-joining method: a new method for reconstructing phylogenetic trees.
Naruya Saitou,Masatoshi Nei +1 more
TL;DR: The neighbor-joining method and Sattath and Tversky's method are shown to be generally better than the other methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from evolutionary distance data.

Confidence limits on phylogenies: an approach using the bootstrap.
TL;DR: The recently‐developed statistical method known as the “bootstrap” can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies and shows significant evidence for a group if it is defined by three or more characters.
