Compensatory Base Changes and Varying Phylogenetic Effects on Angiosperm ITS2 Genetic Distances

open access: yesPlants, 2022
A compensatory base change (CBC) that coevolves in the secondary structure of ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) influences the estimation of genetic distance and thus challenges the phylogenetic use of this most popular genetic marker.

Tracing imprints of past climatic fluctuations and heterogeneous topography in Cynips quercusfolii (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) in Turkey

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2019
Cynips quercusfolii is an oak gall wasp species distributed across the western Palearctic region. In this study, C. quercusfolii adults were used to investigate the possible effects of past climatic fluctuations and topography on the genetic structure of

Chitin mixed in potting soil alters lettuce growth, the survival of zoonotic bacteria on the leaves and associated rhizosphere microbiology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Chitin is a promising soil amendment for improving soil quality, plant growth, and plant resilience. The objectives of this study were twofold. First, to study the effect of chitin mixed in potting soil on lettuce growth and on the survival of two ...

Fungal community assembly in drought-stressed sorghum shows stochasticity, selection, and universal ecological dynamics. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Community assembly of crop-associated fungi is thought to be strongly influenced by deterministic selection exerted by the plant host, rather than stochastic processes.

Finding needles in haystacks: linking scientific names, reference specimens and molecular data for Fungi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
DNA phylogenetic comparisons have shown that morphology-based species recognition often underestimates fungal diversity. Therefore, the need for accurate DNA sequence data, tied to both correct taxonomic names and clearly annotated specimen data, has ...

Using internally transcribed spacer 2 sequences to re-examine the taxonomic status of several cryptic species of Trichogramma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2004
Mass releases of Trichogramma confusum Viggiani and T. maidis Pintureau & Voegele are widely used to control lepidopterous pests. They have long been considered to be the subspecies of T. chilonis Ishii and T. brassicae Bezdenko, respectively.

Assessing universality of DNA barcoding in geographically isolated selected desert medicinal species of Fabaceae and Poaceae [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
In pursuit of developing fast and accurate species-level molecular identification methods, we tested six DNA barcodes, namely ITS2, matK, rbcLa, ITS2+matK, ITS2+rbcLa, matK+rbcLa and ITS2+matK+rbcLa, for their capacity to identify frequently consumed but

Morphotypes and genetic diversity of Dendrobaena schmidti (Lumbricidae, Annelida)

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2020
Dendrobaena schmidti (Michaelsen, 1907) is a polymorphic earthworm species from the Caucasus and adjacent regions. Adult D. schmidti individuals have highly variable body size (from 1.5 to well over 10 cm) and color (from dark purple to total lack of ...
