Because fungi can cause human disease and are highly active decomposers, their presence in a space-linked context has been a source of major concern given their possible detrimental effects on crews and space structures. However, fungi can also be beneficial and be used for many space applications. The exact effects on fungi are not always clear as they possess high adaptability and plasticity, and their phenotypes and genotypes can undergo several changes under the extreme conditions found in space, thus leading to different results than those we would have on Earth. Understanding and analysing these aspects is the subject of astromycology, a research field within astrobiology.

The GRAS transcription factor SCARECROW (SCR) regulates the development of the endodermis in Arabidopsis and maize roots, but during leaf development it regulates the development of distinct cell types; bundle-sheath in Arabidopsis and mesophyll in maize. In rice, SCR is implicated in stomatal patterning, but it is unknown whether this function is additional to a role in inner leaf patterning. Here, we demonstrate that two duplicated SCR genes function redundantly in rice. Contrary to previous reports, we show that these genes are necessary for stomatal development, with stomata virtually absent from leaves that are initiated after germination of mutants. The stomatal regulator OsMUTE is downregulated in Osscr1;Osscr2 mutants, indicating that OsSCR acts early in stomatal development. Notably, Osscr1;Osscr2 mutants do not exhibit the inner leaf patterning perturbations seen in Zmscr1;Zmscr1h mutants, and Zmscr1;Zmscr1h mutants do not exhibit major perturbations in stomatal patterning. Taken together, these results indicate that SCR was deployed in different developmental contexts after the divergence of rice and maize around 50 million years ago.</p>","PeriodicalId":48718,"journal":{"name":"Mycosphere","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8995083/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75056189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many species are considered of quarantine importance, however, precise identification is challenging due to the poorly resolved generic boundaries of Cronartium and other members in Melampsorineae, as well as species limits within the genus Cronartium. In this study, species delimitation was carried out based on morphological examination and multi-locus phylogenetic assessment using sequences of rDNA SSU-ITS-LSU regions and CO3 gene. Twenty-six species including seven new species (C. castaneae, C. mongolicum, C. murrayanae, C. myricae, C. peridiatum, C. qinlingense, C. ribistaedae), and one new combination (C. floridanum) are recognized. Cronartium arizonicum, C. comandrae, C. comptoniae, C. occidentale, and C. pyriforme are epitypified to stabilize the use of names for taxonomy and quarantine significance. In addition, 18 species were revealed for their previously unknown life cycles.","PeriodicalId":48718,"journal":{"name":"Mycosphere","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":14.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71235139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are relatively understudied and generally lack molecular data thus there is considerable taxonomic confusion in the group as early taxonomic studies were based on morphology. Many taxa are difficult to isolate for obtaining cultures and therefore molecular analysis is a limitation for biotrophic species unless sequenced directly from the fruiting bodies. Epifoliar fungi evolved from diverse ancestors and include mainly members of the Dothideomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, Lecanoromycetes, and Sordariomycetes. The classification of epifoliar fungi is challenging due to taxonomic confusion in historical classifications and insufficient molecular data. In this study, we provide a summary of major epifoliar families (Asterinaceae, Meliolaceae, Micropeltidaceae, Microthyriaceae, Parmulariaceae and Zeloasperisporiaceae). The modes of nutrition of each family are also reviewed. Character analysis of a combined LSU, SSU and rpb2 dataset shows that epifoliar fungi have different taxonomic and evolutionary relationships in Ascomycota. Epifoliar fungi are generally considered to be host-specific, but this needs to be confirmed using molecular data as morphological differences are minor. Therefore, future research should focus on addressing the drawbacks of current studies and use new molecular approaches. To obtain better insights into epifoliar fungi, a combination of taxonomic and ecological studies is needed.","PeriodicalId":48718,"journal":{"name":"Mycosphere","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":14.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71234923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
