Host jumping is a process by which pathogens settle in new host groups. It is a cornerstone
in the evolution of pathogens, as it leads to pathogen diversification. It is unsurprising that …

In this study we provide a phylogenetically based introduction to the classes and orders of
Pucciniomycotina (= Urediniomycetes), one of three subphyla of Basidiomycota. More than …

Mycoparasites in Basidiomycota comprise a diverse group of fungi, both morphologically
and phylogenetically. They interact with their hosts through either fusion-interaction or …

Basidiomycota is one of the major phyla in the fungal tree of life. The outline of
Basidiomycota provides essential taxonomic information for researchers and workers in …

The simple-septate basidiomycetes comprise more than 8,000 species that show a high
morphological and ecological heterogeneity. To gain insight in the phylogenetic …

More than 8% of all described Fungi belong to subphylum Pucciniomycotina, the basal
lineage of Basidiomycota. Pucciniomycotina is well supported as monophyletic, as are eight …

The phylogenetic positions of Puccinia spp. infecting sugarcane (a complex hybrid of
Saccharum spp.) were determined using 38 newly generated rust sequences and 26 …

Basidiomycota belong to the crown group of fungi. The diversity of cellular constructions in
hyphal systems and basidiocarps is the expression of a long evolutionary history. As …

Phylogenetic relationships of Microbotryum species (Urediniomycetes, Basidiomycota)
inhabiting anthers of Caryophyllaceae were investigated by molecular analyses using …

During surveys in central Florida of the zombie-ant fungus Ophiocordyceps camponoti-
floridani, which manipulates the behavior of the carpenter ant Camponotus floridanus, two …
