The basidiomycete genus Armillaria sl (Armillaria ss and Desarmillaria) has a worldwide distribution and plays a central role in the dynamics of numerous woody ecosystems …
Abstract The genus Diaporthe (Phomopsis) includes important plant pathogenic fungi with wide host ranges and geographic distributions. In the present study, phylogenetic species …
The application of traditional morphological and ecological species concepts to closely related, asexual fungal taxa is challenging due to the lack of distinctive morphological …
This review considers current knowledge surrounding species boundaries of the Armillaria root-rot pathogens and their distribution. In addition, a phylogenetic tree using translation …
The genus Armillaria includes at least 38 species, most of which are facultative necrotrophs (Gregory and Rishbeth 1991). Pathogenicity of these organisms can result in Armillaria root …
Non-native trees have become dominant components of many landscapes, including urban ecosystems, commercial forestry plantations, fruit orchards and as invasives in natural …
Due to cryptic diversification, phenotypic plasticity and host associations, multilocus phylogenetic analyses have become the most important tool in accurately identifying and …
Armillaria root disease, caused by diverse species from the Agaricomycete genus Armillaria sl (including the closely related genus Desarmillaria), is a primary cause of mortality and …
Armillaria possesses several intriguing characteristics that have inspired wide interest in understanding phylogenetic relationships within and among species of this genus. Nuclear …
