@ARTICLE{TreeBASE2Ref17670, author = {Matthias Stoll and Meike Piepenbring and Dominik Begerow and Franz Oberwinkler}, title = {Molecular phylogeny of Ustilago and Sporisorium species (Basidiomycota, Ustilaginales) based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences.}, year = {2003}, keywords = {}, doi = {}, url = {}, pmid = {}, journal = {Canadian Journal of Botany}, volume = {81}, number = {}, pages = {976--984}, abstract = {DNA sequence data from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear rDNA genes were used to determine a phylogenetic relationship between the graminicolous smut genera Ustilago and Sporisorium (Ustilaginales). Fifty-three members of both genera were analysed together with three related outgroup genera. Neighbor-joining and Bayesian inferences of phylogeny indicate the monophyly of a bipartite genus Sporisorium and the monophyly of a core Ustilago clade. Both methods confirm the recently published nomenclatural change of the cane smut Ustilago scitaminea to Sporisorium scitamineum and indicate a putative connection between Ustilago maydis and Sporisorium . Overall, the three clades resolved in our analyses are only weakly supported by morphological characters. Still, their preferences to parasitize certain subfamilies of Poaceae could be used to corroborate our results: all members of both Sporisorium groups occur exclusively on the grass subfamily Panicoideae. The core Ustilago group mainly infects the subfamilies Pooideae or Chloridoideae.} }
