Armillaria Root-Rot Pathogens: Species Boundaries and Global Distribution

Abstract: 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 factor subunit 1-alpha (tef-1α) from isolates across the globe are used to present a global phylogenetic framework for the genus. Defining species boundaries based on DNA sequence-inferred phylogenies has been a central focus of contemporary mycology. The results of such studies have in many cases resolved the biogeogra… Show more

“…In A. sinapina the cox3 and atp6 genes were transposed and rearranged. The rearrangements are consistent with A. borealis and A. solidipes being sister species and A. sinapina and A. gallica being more distantly related [48, 49].…”

“…Basidiomycetes provide a rich source of complex, structurally diverse, and bioactive sesquiterpenoids, and certain protoilludene-type sesquiterpene aryl esters produced by the genus Armillaria (class Agaricomycetes, family Physalacriaceae) are promising leads for the development of new drugs. There are~130 Armillaria species, most of which are root pathogens that attack hardwood trees, conifers, fruit trees, and grapevines, thus threatening both timber and agronomic plantations (Kile et al 1994;Baumgartner et al 2011;Coetzee et al 2018). Most Armillaria species are facultative necrotrophs, with parasitic and saprotrophic phases (Rishbeth 1985).…”

“…The basidiomycete genus Armillaria plays a very important role in forest ecosystems worldwide and currently includes more than 40 officially described species [2,3]. Armillaria species differ significantly in virulence, for example, some species, such as A. ostoyae, are the main cause of tree death while other species colonize plants already damaged by various factors (drought, pests, etc.)…”

“…They attack hundreds of different tree species (e.g., Abies, Picea, Pinus, Betula, Sorbus, Juglans, Malus, etc.) in both hemispheres under different climatic conditions, and are among the most destructive forest pathogens [2,14,15].…”
