Xylaria iriomotensis sp. nov. from termite nests and notes on X. angulosa by Izumi Okane, Huei-Mei Hsieh, Yu-Ming Ju, Chun-Ru Lin, Chun-Yun Huang, I-Ching Kuan

“…These four specimens shared 98.28–99.66% similarities at ITS sequences among themselves but only 84.25–85.01% similarities with X. iriomotensis. Molecular phylogenetic studies based on sequences of multiple protein-coding loci indicate that, while X. iriomotensis is grouped with three soil-dwelling species of the X. guepini cluster, X. angulosa belongs to the X. nigripes cluster, which includes all known species capable of producing massive sclerotia. …”

Genome constitution and differentiation of subgenomes in Siberian and Far Eastern endemic species of the genus Elymus (Poaceae) according to the sequencing of the nuclear gene waxy by A. V. Agafonov, S. V. Asbaganov, E. V. Shabanova (Kobozeva), I. V. Morozov, A. A. Bondar

“…Mason-Gamer and co-authors have previously shown in a series of studies that a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the low-copy gene waxy (GBSS1) sequences significantly complements cytogenetic data on the genomic constitution and evolutionary relationships among both North American and Asian species of the genus Elymus. …”
