ITS primers with enhanced specificity for basidiomycetes--application to the identification of mycorrhizae and rusts.
M. Gardes,Thomas D. Bruns +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two taxon-selective primers for the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region in the nuclear ribosomal repeat unit were proposed, which were intended to be specific to fungi and basidiomycetes, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a unified paradigm for sequence-based identification of fungi

TL;DR: All fungal species represented by at least two ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are now given a unique, stable name of the accession number type, and the term ‘species hypothesis’ (SH) is introduced for the taxa discovered in clustering on different similarity thresholds.
Journal Article
ITS primers with enhanced specificity for basidiomycetes--application to the identification of mycorrhizae and rusts.
M. Gardes,Thomas D. Bruns +1 more
TL;DR: ITS1‐F/ITS4‐B preferential amplification was shown to be particularly useful for detection and analysis of the basidiomycete component in ectomycorrhizae and in rust‐infected tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fungal Molecular Systematics
TL;DR: The fungi, as thus defined, are of great importance for the following reasons: (a) They are the primary decomposers in all terrestrial ecosystems; (b) they are important symbiotic associates of vascular plants both in mutualistic and parasitic relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
The molecular revolution in ectomycorrhizal ecology: peeking into the black-box.
Thomas R. Horton,Thomas D. Bruns +1 more
TL;DR: Results from these studies have revealed that EM communities are impressively diverse and are patchily distributed at a fine scale below ground, but there is a poor correspondence between fungi that appear dominant as sporocarps vs. those that seem dominant on roots.
