The translation elongation factor-1 alpha (EF-1α) gene was used to examine the phylogenetic relationships among 30 previously characterized isolates representing ten North American Armillaria species: A. solidipes (=A. ostoyae), A. gemina, A. calvescens, A. sinapina, A. mellea, A. gallica, A. nabsnona, North American biological species X, A. cepistipes, and A. tabescens. The phylogenetic relationships revealed clear separation of all ten North American Armillaria species, with the exception of…

A new multilocus approach for a reliable DNA-based identification of Armillaria species

This study suggests that, to improve the reliability of DNA-based techniques for species identification, multiple genes or intergenic regions should be analyzed.

Initial characterization of unidentified Armillaria isolate from Serbia using LSU-IGS1 and TEF-1a genes

This work focused on characterizing an unidentified Armillaria isolate from a Serbian forest using pairing, sequencing of the partial large subunit and intergenic spacer-1 regions of rDNA (LSU-IGS1) and the translation elongation factor-1 alpha gene (tef-1a) genes, and phylogenetic analyses.

Armillaria phylogeny based on tef-1α sequences suggests ongoing divergent speciation within the boreal floristic kingdom

The objective of this study is to determine phylogenetic relationships among northern hemisphere Armillaria spp.

Armillaria mexicana, a newly described species from Mexico

ABSTRACT Armillaria mexicana (Agaricales, Physalacriaceae) is described as a new species based on morphology, DNA sequence data, and phylogenetic analyses. It clearly differs from previously reported…

Armillaria Root-Rot Pathogens: Species Boundaries and Global Distribution

This review considers current knowledge surrounding species boundaries of the Armillaria root-rot pathogens and their distribution. In addition, a phylogenetic tree using translation elongation…

Armillaria altimontana, a new species from the western interior of North America

Results indicate that isolates of A. altimontana formed a monophyletic group and clustered with A. nabsnona, which is in agreement with recent phylogenetic studies of Armillaria.

DNA-based identification of Armillaria isolates from peach [Prunus persica (l.) batsch] orchards in méxico state, Mexico

A DNA-based approach is employed in which the intergenic spacer 1 region (IGS1) of nuclear rDNA and the translation elongation factor-1 alpha gene will be sequenced and compared to known Armillaria species to facilitate species identification.

Insights into the phylogeny of Northern Hemisphere Armillaria: Neighbor-net and Bayesian analyses of translation elongation factor 1-α gene sequences

The utility of tef1 for global phylogenetic studies of Armillaria species and provides critical insights into multiple taxonomic issues that warrant further study are demonstrated.

Desarmillaria caespitosa, a North American vicariant of D. tabescens

Phylogenetic analyses of five independent gene regions show that D. caespitosa and D. tabescens are separated by nodes with strong support, and a new combination of the two species, D.Caesitosa-tabescens, is proposed.
