Abstract

Sequence data from nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA was used to infer phylogenetic relationships of selected genera of the Uredinales. We investigated 52 rust fungi representing 9 families and three outgroup species. Neighbor joining analysis and a Bayesian method of phylogenetic inference using Monte Carlo Markov chains confirm (1) the rust fungi as natural group and indicate that (2) Puccinia, Uromyces, Endophyllum, and Cumminsiella have a common origin. (3) The autoecious Rosaceae-rusts Phragmidium, Kuehneola, Triphragmium, and Trachyspora are a monophyletic group. (4) The gasteroid genus Ochropsora is closely related to Tranzschelia. (5) The Pucciniastreae sensu Dietel (1938) are recognized as a monophyletic group in neighbor joining analysis, while (6) the Pucciniaceae s.l. (Dietel 1928) are supported by Bayesian analysis. (7) The following genera appear to be monophyletic: Chrysomyxa, Coleosporium, Cronartium, Gymnosporangium, Melampsora, Phragmidium, and Tranzschelia, whereas (8) the genera Puccinia, Pucciniastrum, Thekopsora and Uromyces are not.
