Fungi have been a successful case in which the use of molecular markers has uncovered the existence of genetic boundaries where no crosses are possible. In this minireview, we highlight recent advances, propose a set of standards to use genomic sequences to uncover species boundaries, point out...
Fig. 1: The Verticillium dahliae genome is organized in topological associating domains (TADs). a Hi-C contact matrix showing local interaction frequency, aggregated over predicted TADs (black bars) with 50 kb up- and downstream sequence. The drop in intensity at boundaries at either edge of...
Plant seeds hold the key to solving these limitations and to answering the questions about the evolution of the microbial communities. Once the seed microbial community is encapsulated in the seed coat, it is less susceptible to exterior changes compared to other plant compartments, such as the rh...
Species delimitation is one of the most fundamental processes in biology. Biodiversity undertakings, for instance, require explicit species concepts and cr

The species is one of the basic units of biological classification. Both species concepts and recognition are essential topics in taxonomic studies and other biological research. In the first part of this review, we briefly discuss the taxonomic history of the class Dothideomycetes. In the second ...
Fungi are eukaryotes that play essential roles in ecosystems. Among fungi, Basidiomycota is one of the major phyla with more than 40,000 described species.
However, in the absence of morphological characters, it seems very unlikely that DNA-only nomenclature can replace the polythetic approach in defining species boundaries. We will demonstrate based on a few examples based on well-studied fungi that the ITS-based approach does not work well. On ...
