Substantial doubt has recently been raised concerning the unequivocal suitability of using this sequence information for inferring inter- and intraspecific relationships, as especially the ITS locus was repeatedly shown to harbor high intragenomic plasticity. The evolutionary mechanisms leading to this phenomenon are poorly understood, but this is about to change, owing to the availability of third generation sequencing techniques. The current study attempts a comprehensive analysis of rDNA cistrons in the genomes of over 40 selected species of <i>Hypoxylaceae</i> (<i>Xylariales</i>), using a combination of 2nd generation (Illumina) and 3rd generation sequencing technologies (Oxford Nanopore), along with extensive usage of bioinformatic tools to obtain high-quality genomes. Our findings revealed high intragenomic polymorphisms in distinct <i>Hypoxylaceae</i> species, indicating the presence of deep rDNA paralogs. Phylogenetic inference of the ITS rDNA showed low support for the primary clades within <i>Hypoxylaceae</i>, while inference using the protein encoding gene <i>RPB2</i> showed better support. We also found that proteinogenic genes are not prone to intraspecific and intragenomic polymorphisms as much as the rDNA loci. Our study highlights the limitations of solely relying on the rDNA cistron as a barcode for fungi. We propose <i>TUB2</i> as a new primary barcoding marker for <i>Hypoxylaceae</i> and other <i>Xylariales</i>. Moreover, we demonstrate the feasibility to retrieve some DNA loci that had hitherto not been used for classical phylogenetic studies (such as <i>TEF1</i>) in <i>Xylariales</i> directly from genomes without the necessity to work with primers.</p>","PeriodicalId":19111,"journal":{"name":"Mycological Progress","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139070519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this work was to select an isolated mycorrhizal fungus based on a comprehensive analysis of the Nematode–Plant–Mycorrhizal Fungus system. The test was conducted on <i>Solanum lycopersicum</i> L. grown in pots.

All of these impacted on the photosynthetic rates of the different treatments. There were also differences in the growth of the fungi within the roots, and in the viability of the fungal structures.
