Fungi are morphologically, ecologically, metabolically, and phylogenetically diverse. They
are known to produce numerous bioactive molecules, which makes them very useful for …

Biodiversity loss from disturbances caused by human activities means that species are
disappearing at an ever increasing rate. The high number of species that have yet to be …

Six DNA regions were evaluated as potential DNA barcodes for Fungi, the second largest
kingdom of eukaryotic life, by a multinational, multilaboratory consortium. The region of the …

The aim of this study was to assess potential candidate gene regions and corresponding
universal primer pairs as secondary DNA barcodes for the fungal kingdom, additional to ITS …

The limit of the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex is defined genetically,
based on a strongly supported clade within the Colletotrichum ITS gene tree. All taxa …

A review is provided of the current state of understanding of Colletotrichum systematics,
focusing on species-level data and the major clades. The taxonomic placement of the genus …

New microbial genomes are constantly being sequenced, and it is crucial to accurately
determine their taxonomic identities and evolutionary relationships. Here we report …

Microbial food cultures have directly or indirectly come under various regulatory frameworks
in the course of the last decades. Several of those regulatory frameworks put emphasis on …

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea are closely related necrotrophic plant
pathogenic fungi notable for their wide host ranges and environmental persistence. These …

Scientific names are crucial for communicating knowledge concerning fungi and fungus-like
organisms. In plant pathology, they link information regarding biology, host range …
