Two new species of Rhynchosporium.

Mycologia 103(1):195-202 (2011) PMID 20943529

Rhynchosporium consists of two species, R. secalis and R. orthosporum. Both are pathogens of grasses with R. secalis infecting a variety of Poaceae hosts and R. orthosporum infecting Dactylis glomerata. Phylogenetic analyses of multilocus DNA sequence data on R. secalis isolates originating from cultivated barley, rye, triticale and other grasses, including Agropyron spp., Bromus diandrus and Hordeum spp., resolved the monophyletic groups into three species according to their respective hosts. Host specificity according to phylogenetic lineages was confirmed with pathogenicity studies. Because R. secalis was described first on rye this name is retained for Rhynchosporium isolates infecting rye and triticale. Rhynchosporium isolates infecting cultivated barley and other Hordeum spp. and Bromus diandrus belong to a distinct species, R. commune. Similarly isolates infecting Agropyron spp. represent a distinct species of Rhynchosporium, namely R. agropyri. A PCR-RFLP assay was developed as a rapid tool for species identification of R. secalis and R. commune.

    Although both antioxidant capacity and oxidative conversion (hazard) are important in food and bio-analytical chemistry, there is considerable confusion in literature between the results of these two types of assays. After the generation of ROS in the medium via Fe(III)-H2O2 reaction...

    We have investigated the thermochemical conditions required to adsorb CH, CH2, CO and CO2 on diamond nanoparticles, which can withstand higher temperatures and pressures than alternative carbon-based nanostructures. We find that, while CO2 must be over-saturated to facilitate stable adsorption (with...
