The Monophyletic Plectomycetes: Ascosphaerales, Onygenales, Eurotiales

  • Chapter
Systematics and Evolution

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 7A))

Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss the Plectomycetes as a monophyletic group of ascomycete fungi including the traditional orders Ascosphaerales, Onygevales, Eurotiales, as well as their strictly mitosporic relatives. In its original usage, the term Plectomycetes referred to any of the ascomycetes that produced asci within a completely closed sexual structure (ascoma, pl. ascomata), often termed a cleistothecium (Gr. kleistos,closed; theke, case) (Malloch 1981). More recently, phylogenetic analyses based on DNA sequences have demonstrated that many, but not all, of the cleistothecial ascomycetes belong to a monophyletic clade, which has been named the Plectomycetes (Berbee and Taylor 1994). This chapter is about the fungi belonging to that clade, and the justification for this usage is discussed in detail in Section III. A list of recognized genera is given in Table 1.
