“…Following a comprehensive morphological revision, Zheng et al (2007) recognized ten species and seven varieties. Molecular analyses (Abe et al 2006(Abe et al , 2010Hoffmann et al 2013;Walther et al 2013) supported the three complexes defined by Schipper and Stalpers (1984), but revealed that Rhizopus is paraphyletic containing Sporodiniella umbellata and Syzygites megalocarpus (Hoffmann et al 2013;Walther et al 2013). Based on molecular phylogenetic analyses several species were recognized to represent synonyms: e.g.…”

“…delemar, was recognized morphologically ) and through the use of short tandem repeat motives of IGS rDNA sequences (Liu et al 2008), but it has not come out as a separate lineage in molecular phylogenetic studies Dolatabadi et al 2014a) and is regarded as doubtful. Abe et al (2010) consider R. americanus and R. sexualis as varieties of R. stolonifer, while other authors (e.g. Zheng et al 2007) recognize them as separate species.…”

“…In case of R. americanus, multiple different ITS sequences within one strain were found, which should be considered in molecular identification Abe et al 2010). Several molecular markers have been applied for phylogenetic inference in this genus by using general fungal primers: actin (Abe et al 2007(Abe et al , 2010Dolatabadi et al 2014a, b), ITS (Abe et al 2006(Abe et al , 2007(Abe et al , 2010Gryganskyi et al 2010;Walther et al 2013;Dolatabadi et al 2014a, b), LSU (Abe et al 2006;Liou et al 2007;Walther et al 2013;Dolatabadi et al 2014a, b,), orotidine-5'-monophosphate decarboxylase gene (pyrG gene) ), rpb1 (RNA polymerase II largest subunit gene) (Dolatabadi et al 2014a), SSU (small subunit of the ribosomal DNA gene) (Abe et al 2006), and tef (translation elongation factor gene) (Abe et al 2007(Abe et al , 2010Dolatabadi et al 2014a, b). For R. arrhizus s.l., specific primers were designed for the rpb2 (RNA polymerase II second largest subunit gene) and the RNA helicase and the TP transporter gene of the mating locus by Gryganskyi et al (2010) as well as for the lactate dehydrogenase B by Abe et al (2007).…”

Many fungi are pathogenic on plants and cause significant damage in agriculture and forestry. They are also part of the natural ecosystem and may play a role in regulating plant numbers/density. Morphological identification and analysis of plant pathogenic fungi, while important, is often hampered by the scarcity of discriminatory taxonomic characters and the endophytic or inconspicuous nature of these fungi. Molecular (DNA sequence) data for plant pathogenic fungi have emerged as key information for diagnostic and classification studies, although hampered in part by non-standard laboratory practices and analytical methods. To facilitate current and future research, this study provides phylogenetic synopses for 25 groups of plant pathogenic fungi in the Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Mucormycotina (Fungi), and Oomycota, using recent molecular data, up-to-date names, and the latest taxonomic insights. Lineagespecific laboratory protocols together with advice on their application, as well as general observations, are also provided. We hope to maintain updated backbone trees of these fungal lineages over time and to publish them jointly as new data emerge. Researchers of plant pathogenic fungi not covered by the present study are invited to join this future effort. Bipolaris, Botryosphaeriaceae,
