The thermophilic synnematous hyphomycete Stilbella thermophila is redescribed and illustrated based on the study of type and supplementary material. The species is transferred to a new anamorph genus, Remersonia, characterized by determinate synnemata with scarcely branched conidiophores, percurrently proliferating conidiogenous cells, relatively large ameroconidia that accumulate in slime, and thermotolerant growth. Cladistic analysis of partial 18S and 28S ribosomal DNA sequences suggest that the fungus is a member of the Sordariales. Septal ultrastructure and a failure to grow on benomyl-emended media support the ascomycetous affinities of the fungus. Failure to grow on cycloheximide-emended media supports sequencing data suggesting that the species is not allied with the Ophiostomatales. The biology of the fungus is briefly discussed. Key words: thermophilic fungi, mushroom compost, hyphomycetes, systematics, 18S rDNA, 28S rDNA.

Coltriciella multipileata is described here as a new species from Mexico. The species grow on soils in open areas at the vicinity of living trees of Pinus patula, and its known only from the Parque Recreativo Los Colomos, Jalisco. The phylogenetic analysis based on partial nuclear 28S ribosomal DNA sequences, recovered Coltriciella multipileata as sister group with a specimen reported as ectomycorrhizal, and closely related with other two species that are considered saprophitic. According with our preliminary analysis of character states reconstruction, the ectomycorrhizal condition appeared early in the Coltriciella clade, with a high rate of transitions between ectomycorrhizal and saprophitic conditions. A key for species similar to Coltriciella multipileata is presented.

B chromosomes have been reported in many eukaryotic organisms. These chromosomes occur in addition to the standard complement of a species. Bs do not pair with any of the A chromosomes and they have generally been considered to be non-essential and genetically inert. However, due to tremendous advancements in the technologies, the molecular composition of B chromosomes has been determined. The sequencing data has revealed that B chromosomes have originated from A chromosomes and they are rich in repetitive elements. In our laboratory, a novel B chromosome was discovered in Plantago lagopus. Using molecular cytogenetic techniques, the B chromosome was found to be composed of ribosomal DNA sequences. However, further characterization of the chromosome using next generation sequencing (NGS) etc. revealed that the B chromosome is a mosaic of sequences derived from A chromosomes, 5S ribosomal DNA (rDNA), 45S rDNA, and various types of repetitive elements. The transmission of B chromosome through the female sex track did not follow the Mendelian principles. The chromosome was found to have drive due to which it was perpetuating in populations. The present paper attempts to summarize the information on nature, transmission, and origin of B chromosomes, particularly the current status of our knowledge in P. lagopus.

The phylogeny of Hedychium J. Koenig was estimated using sequence data of internal transcribed spacer regions 1 and 2 (ITS1, ITS2) and 5.8S nuclear ribosomal DNA. Sequences were determined for 29 taxa, one interspecific hybrid of Hedychium and one species in each of 16 other genera of Zingiberaceae representing tribes Hedychieae, Globbeae, Zingibereae and Alpinieae. Cladistic analysis of these data strongly supports the monophyly of Hedychium, but relationships to other genera are poorly supported. Within Hedychium, four major clades are moderately supported. These clades are also distinguishable on the basis of number of flowers per bract and distribution. Stahlianthus, Curcuma, and Hitchenia also form a strongly supported clade. Based on this limited sample, the currently defined tribes of Zingiberoideae are not monophyletic. The Asiatic genera form a monophyletic group within this broadly defined Hedychieae. The taxonomy and biogeography of Hedychium are reviewed.

During fungal surveys in a small urban Protected Area in Southern Brazil a species of Phylloporia was found with its minute basidiomata emerging from living stems of Doliocarpus schottianus. It is characterized by pileate and strikingly small basidiomata, context with a black line separating an upper tomentum, 3–7(–8) pores per mm, a monomitic hyphal system and ellipsoid basidiospores. In phylogenetic analysis based on partial nuclear 28S ribosomal DNA sequences, these specimens are resolved as a new clade within Phylloporia. The species is therefore described as P. minuta sp. nov. Ecological data (host and distribution) and the importance of small and urban protected areas are discussed
