Two new fungal species of the genus Talaromyces, Talaromyces purpurogenus and Talaromyces trachyspermus from the Trichocomaceae family, were recovered during an investigation of fungal communities in soil collected from the Gangwon-do and Jeollanam-do provinces of Korea. These two species have not been previously officially reported from Korea. In this study, detailed descriptions of internal transcribed spacer rDNA and beta-tubulin gene regions of these two fungi are presented. Morphological features of the two fungi in five agar media, potato dextrose, oatmeal, malt extract, czapek yeast extract, and yeast extract sucrose, are also reported. The species were identified on the basis of molecular and morphological analysis, and herein we present data with detailed descriptions and figures.

동아시아가 원산지로 추정되며, 2007년에 신종으로 보고된 콩바구미아과(Bruchinae)에 속하는 Bruchidius siliquastri Delobel (박태기콩바 구미; 신칭)는 유럽에서 콩과(Fabaceae)인 유다박태기나무(Cercis siliquastrum L.)의 종자를 가해하는 침입종으로 간주되고 있다. 이 콩바구미는 한국에서 최근 블로거(blogger)들에 의해 정확한 동정이 이루어지지 않은 상태로 성충 사진들이 업로드(upload) 되고 있으며, 또한 저자들은 2022년 봄 순천대학교 캠퍼스에 식재된 박태기나무(C. chinensis Bunge)에서 일부 생태 및 가해를 관찰할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 한국에서 이 콩바구미의 새로운 생활사 정보를 제공하고자 한다.

We tried a series of morphological and molecular approaches to identify a new species of Stellantchasmus (Digenea: Heterophyidae) originating from the wrestling half-beaked fish, Dermogenys pusillus of Thailand. Adult worm samples of the new species were recovered from hamsters experimentally infected with the metacercariae from D. pusillus in Thailand. Two isolates (Thai and Korean) of Stellantchasmus falcatus were used as comparative control groups. Worm samples of 3 Stellantchasmus groups were morphologically observed and molecularly analyzed with the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 1 gene. The morphological characteristics of S. dermogenysi n. sp. are similar to S. falcatus originating from brackish water fish, but minor difference was noted including the absence of the prepharynx, position of the ovary near the ceca end, smaller body size, and shorter esophageal length. A phylogenetic tree derived from neighbor-joining and maximum-likelihood methods suggests that S. dermogenysi n. sp. is separated from S. falcatus supported by high bootstrap values. The relative divergences persist between these host-specific trematodes, which we suggest should be recognized as 2 distinct species. Comparisons of S. dermogenysi n. sp. with S. falcatus isolated from mullets in Thailand and Korea indicate a genetic divergence of mitochondrial DNA of 19.4% and 21.7%, respectively. By the present study, a new species, Stellantchasmus dermogenysi n. sp. (Digenea: Heterophyidae), is proposed in Thailand based on molecular evidences, in addition to minor morphological differences between S. falcatus and the new species.

The genus Plectus Bastian, 1865 represents a group of free-living freshwater nematodes belonging to the family Plectidae Örley, 1880. However, only one species has been reported thus far from Korea. Plectus aquatilis Andrássy, 1985 and Plectus cirratus Bastian, 1865 are reported for the first time from Korea, from sediments collected from the Nakdong River. Plectus aquatilis is distinguished from other Plectus species by its three longitudinal alae in the lateral field, thin and directed cephalic setae, continuous lip region (head not set-off), and rectangular shaped tail. Plectus cirratus is distinguished from other Plectus species by its large body, two longitudinal alae in the lateral field, larger stoma, and longer tail. Morphological characters and measurements of the specimens generally agree with the original descriptions of Plectus species. Here, the morphological characters (detailed morphometrics) of two species in the genus Plectus are fully redescribed and illustrated using optical microscopy. DNA barcode sequence information from the 18S rDNA gene is also provided for molecular species identification and compared with sequences from other Plectus species available on GenBank.

Downy mildew (DM), caused by several species in the Peronosclerospora and Scleropthora genera, is a major maize (Zea mays L.) disease in tropical or subtropical regions. DM is an obligate parasite species in the higher plants and spreads by oospores, wind, and mycelium in seed surface, soil, and living hosts. Owing to its geographical distribution and destructive yield reduction, DM is one of the most severe maize diseases among the maize pathogens. Positional cloning in combination with phenotyping is a general approach to identify disease resistant gene candidates in plants; however, it requires several time-consuming steps including population or fine mapping. Therefore, in the present study, we suggest a new combination strategy to improve the identification of disease resistant gene candidates. Downy mildew (DM) resistant maize was selected from five cultivars using the spreader row technique. Positional cloning and bioinformatics tools identified the DM resistant QTL marker (bnlg1702) and 47 protein coding genes annotations. Eventually, 5 DM resistant gene candidates, including bZIP34, Bak1, and Ppr, were identified by quantitative RT-PCR without fine mapping of the bnlg1702 locus. Specifically, we provided DM resistant gene candidates with our new strategy, including field selection by the spreader row technique without population preparation, the DM resistance region identification by positional cloning using bioinformatics tools, and expression level profiling by quantitative RT-PCR without fine mapping. As whole genome information is available for other crops, we propose applying our novel protocol to other crops or for other diseases with suitable adjustment.

A new species of Neosartorya was recovered during investigation of the fungal community in soil samples collected from different locations in Korea; Neosartorya aureola KNU14-7 was isolated for the first time from field soil in Korea and identified based on the internal transcribed spacer region of rDNA and morphological characteristics. The species has not been officially reported from Korea and we report it here with description and figures.

Collections of Gymnopus sect. Levipedes from the Republic of Korea have been studied. Two new species, Gymnopus dryophiloides and G. brunneodiscus, are described based on their macro- and micromorphological and phylogenetic characteristics. Three other species, referred to as Gymnopus spp. 1, 2, and 3, are distinguished as separate taxa without formal descriptions. Taxonomic and phylogenetic positions of all taxa have been inferred and confirmed by analyses of ITS and LSU sequence data. Their detailed descriptions, illustrations and an identification key are provided.

The herb Pedicularis cheilanthifolia var. albida (Pennell) P. C. Tsoong is reported and collected for the first time from the Rudraprayag District of Uttarakhand. The species was seen growing along a glacial stream in an alpine region between 4,100 and 4,400 m asl. Morphological characteristics of the species were examined and processed for herbarium deposition. To simplify taxon identification, a brief taxonomic description and illustration of the taxon are provided.

침엽수재에 있어서는 결정을 지니는 세포가 드물게 존재하기 때문에 전나무속, 가문비나무속, 은행나무속 및 소나무속과 같은 경우 이들의 존재 여부는 수종 식별 인자로 귀중한 가치를 지니게 된다. 따라서 본 연구는 광학현미경과 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 북미산 전나무속 수종의 목재에 존재하는 결정의 분포와 형태를 조사하여 목재 해부 및 식별에 필요한 정보를 추가적으로 제공하기 위해 실시하였다. 출현 빈도 측면에서 볼 때 다각형 결정, 신장형 결정 및 주정이 Abies concolor, A. grandis 및 A. magnifica, A. nobilis(=A. procera), A. lasiocarpa 그리고 A. amabilis의 순으로 적게 관찰되었지만 A. balsamea 및 A. fraseri에서는 그 존재가 전연 확인되지 않았다. 다른 수종과는 달리 A. lasiocarpa는 다각형 결정보다는 신장형 결정 및 주정이 더 많이 지니고 있었다. A. concolor에서는 사정, 다각형 결정, 신장형 결정 및 주정이 축방향유세포 및 방사유세포 모두에서 관찰된 반면 나머지 수종 모두에서는 다각형 결정, 신장형 결정 및 주정이 방사유세포에만 존재하였다. 사정을 지니는 방사유세포 그리고 사정, 다각형 결정, 신장형 결정과 주정을 지니는 축방향유세포는 아마 본 연구에서 최초로 밝혀진 것으로 여겨진다. 결론적으로 결정의 존재 여부는 A. nobilis (=A. procera), A. lasiocarpa, A. amabilis, A. balsamea 및 A. fraseri로부터 A. concolor, A. grandis 및 A. magnifica를 식별해 내는데 있어 중요한 가치를 지니는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
