“…The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large-subunit (LSU) regions of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) were amplified using the primer pairs ITS1F/ITS4 (White et al 1990) and LR0R/LR5 (Vilgalys and Hester 1990). DNA extraction and PCR protocols followed Masumoto et al (2014). Our sequences were deposited in GenBank as AB714546-AB714554 and AB714563-AB714571 (Table 1).…”

We describe a new fungal species, Rhytisma filamentosum, which causes tar spot disease on Salix integra in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Its most distinctive morphological features are asci and ascospores that are distinctly longer than those of other Rhytisma species on Salix. rDNA ITS and LSU sequence analyses also indicate that this fungus is sufficiently distinct from other Rhytisma species to justify new species status.

“…A new species of Rhytisma polare / polaris (Fig. 2a)living on Salix polariswas discovered recently and approved by morphological differences with some genetic data of ITS and LSU sequences of ribosomal rDNA (Masumoto et al, 2014). The study also supported the difficulties of minimal DNA sequence differences (Fig.…”

In the work presented in silico DNA sequence and dendrogram analyses were carried out to reveal molecular diversity and genetic distances among Rhytisma entries and related species based on gene bank data mining. The study revealed that R. acerinum shows the closest genetic distance to R. polare. DNA nucleotide variation detected raised a need for consensus between the Linnean morphological and the new molecular systematics.

A novel fungal pathogen, Rhytisma arcticum, is described, causing tar spot disease on Salix arctica in Ellesmere Island, Canada. Stromata, asci and ascospores—distinctly smaller than other Rhytisma species found on Salix—are its distinctive morphological features. rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large‐subunit (LSU) sequence analyses revealed a close relation of this species to R. polare previously reported on Spitsbergen Island. This study describes a novel plant pathogen species in one of the northernmost locations of the world.
