Alternaria Nees 1816-17

Molecular phylogenetic studies have challenged the reliability of using morphological characteristics to differentiate Alternaria species but have also suggested that commonly used molecular markers for fungal phylogenetics may not be sufficiently informative at this taxonomic level. To allow the assessment of molecular variation and evolutionary history at a genome-wide scale, we present an overview and analysis of phylogenomic resources for Alternaria section Alternaria. We review the currently available genomic resources and report five newly sequenced genomes. We then perform multiple comparative genomic analyses, including macrosynteny assessment and inference of phylogenetic relationships using a variety of data sets and analysis methods. Fine-scale, genome-wide phylogenetic reconstruction revealed incomplete lineage sorting and the genomic distribution of gene/species tree discordance. Based on these patterns, we propose a list of candidate genes that may be developed into informative markers that are diagnostic for the main lineages.

Alternaria Nees 1816-17

Based on results of extensive molecular phylogenetic analyses of five phylogenetically informative loci and previous morphological data, this work proposes to elevate all currently and newly described asexual species-groups of Alternaria to the taxonomic status of section. The infectoria species-group is not supported phylogenetically as Alternaria; therefore we do not propose to formalize this species-group as a section within Alternaria but instead suggest that further taxonomic revision of this group is necessary to eliminate the current polyphyly of the genus Alternaria.
