| 2 | Improving ITS sequence data for identification of plant pathogenic fungi显示文摘Plant pathogenic fungi are a large and diverse assemblage of eukaryotes with substantial impacts on natural ecosystems and human endeavours.These taxa often have complex and poorly understood life cycles,lack observable,discriminatory morphological characters,and may not be amenable to in vitro culturing.As a result,species identification is frequently difficult.Molecular(DNA sequence)data have emerged as crucial information for the taxonomic identification of plant pathogenic fungi,with the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer(ITS)region being the most popular marker.However,international nucleotide sequence databases are accumulating numerous sequences of compromised or low-resolution taxonomic annotations and substandard technical quality,making their use in the molecular identification of plant pathogenic fungi problematic.Here we report on a concerted effort to identify high-quality reference sequences for various plant pathogenic fungi and to re-annotate incorrectly or insufficiently annotated public ITS sequences from these fungal lineages.A third objective was to enrich the sequences with geographical and ecological metadata.The results-a total of 31,954 changes-are incorporated in and made available through the UNITE database for molecular identification of fungi(http://gffzz7cc2bea597fa4d6chpkf05cwkk5cc6cwo.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn),including standalone FASTA files of sequence data for local BLAST searches,use in the next-generation sequencing analysis platforms QIIME and mothur,and related applications.The present initiative is just a beginning to cover the wide spectrum of plant pathogenic fungi,and we invite all researchers with pertinent expertise to join the annotation effort. | R.Henrik Nilsson Kevin D.Hyde Julia Pawlowska Martin Ryberg Leho Tedersoo Anders Bjornsgard Aas Siti A.Alias Artur Alves Cajsa Lisa Anderson Alexandre Antonelli A.Elizabeth Arnold Barbara Bahnmann Mohammad Bahram Johan Bengtsson-Palme Anna Berlin Sara Branco Putarak Chomnunti Asha Dissanayake Rein Drenkhan Hanna Friberg Tobias Guldberg Froslev Bettina Halwachs Martin Hartmann Beatrice Henricot Ruvishika Jayawardena Ari Jumpponen Havard Kauserud Sonja Koskela Tomasz Kulik Kare Liimatainen Bjorn D.Lindahl Daniel Lindner Jian-Kui Liu Sajeewa Maharachchikumbura Dimuthu Manamgoda Svante Martinsson Maria Alice Neves Tuula Niskanen Stephan Nylinder Olinto Liparini Pereira Danilo Batista Pinho Teresita M.Porter Valentin Queloz Taavi Riit Marisol Sánchez-García Filipe de Sousa Emil Stefańczyk Mariusz Tadych Susumu Takamatsu Qing Tian Dhanushka Udayanga Martin Unterseher Zheng Wang Saowanee Wikee Jiye Yan Ellen Larsson Karl-Henrik Larsson Urmas Koljalg Kessy Abarenkov | 2014 | Fungal Diversity2014，，4： | 1 |
| 4 | Ancient DNA of the pygmy marmoset type specimen Cebuella pygmaea(Spix,1823)resolves a taxonomic conundrum显示文摘The pygmy marmoset,the smallest of the anthropoid primates,has a broad distribution in Western Amazonia.Recent studies using molecular and morphological data have identified two distinct species separated by the Napo and Solimoes-Amazonas rivers.However,reconciling this new biological evidence with current taxonomy,i.e.,two subspecies,Cebuella pygmaea pygmaea(Spix,1823)and Cebuella pygmaea niveiventris(Lönnberg,1940),was problematic given the uncertainty as to whether Spix’s pygmy marmoset(Cebuella pygmaea pygmaea)was collected north or south of the Napo and Solimoes-Amazonas rivers,making it unclear to which of the two newly revealed species the name pygmaea would apply.Here,we present the first molecular data from Spix’s type specimen of Cebuella pygmaea,as well as novel mitochondrial genomes from modern pygmy marmosets sampled near the type locality(Tabatinga)on both sides of the river.With these data,we can confirm the correct names of the two species identified,i.e.,C.pygmaea for animals north of the Napo and Solimoes-Amazonas rivers and C.niveiventris for animals south of these two rivers.Phylogenetic analyses of the novel genetic data placed into the context of cytochrome b gene sequences from across the range of pygmy marmosets further led us to reevaluate the geographical distribution for the two Cebuella species.We dated the split of these two species to 2.54 million years ago.We discuss additional,more recent,subdivisions within each lineage,as well as potential contact zones between the two species in the headwaters of these rivers. | Jean P.Boubli Mareike C.Janiak Leila M.Porter Stella de la Torre Liliana Cortes-Ortiz Maria N.Fda Silva Anthony B.Rylands Stephen Nash Fabricio Bertuol Hazel Byrne Felipe E.Silva Fabio Rohe Dorien de Vries Robin M.D.Beck Irune Ruiz-Gartzia Lukas F.K.Kuderna Tomas Marques-Bonet Tomas Hrbek Izeni P.Farias Anneke Hvan Heteren Christian Roos | 2021 | Zoological Research2021，42，6： | 1 |
