Abstract

The Pezizomycotina is the largest subphylum of the Ascomycota and includes the vast majority of filamentous, ascoma-producing species. Here we report the results from parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses of five nuclear loci (SSU rDNA, LSU rDNA, RPB1, RPB2, and EF 1-) from 192 taxa. Nine of the ten classes currently recognized in the classification of the Outline of the Ascomycota (Eriksson 2005) were represented in the sampling. These data strongly supported the monophyly of the Pezizomycotina, and the Arthoniomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, Lecanoromycetes, Orbiliomycetes, and Sordariomycetes. The Pezizomycetes were resolved as monophyletic but not strongly supported by the data. The Leotiomycetes and the Dothideomycetes were not resolved as monophyletic; Geoglossum and Trichoglossum were excluded from the Leotiomycetes and the Dothideomycetes was paraphyletic based on the placement of the Arthoniomycetes. The two most basal classes of the Pezizomycotina were the Orbiliomycetes and Pezizomycetes, both of which comprise species that produce apothecial ascomata. The seven remaining classes formed a monophyletic group that corresponds to Leotiomyceta sensu Eriksson et al. Within the Leotiomyceta, the supraclass clades of (Leotiomycetes s. s., Sordariomycetes) and (Arthoniomycetes, Dothideomycetes) were well supported. These analyses supported the apothecium as the ancestral ascomal morphology of the Pezizomycotina with the perithecium restricted to the Sordariomycetes, the ascostroma restricted to the Eurotiomycetes and Dothideomycetes, and the cleistothecium broadly distributed in Eurotiomycetes, Sordariomycetes and Leotiomycetes. Ordinal membership of the classes, taxonomic revisions, and evolution of ascus morphology and major ecologies are discussed.
