The occurrence of Phellinus torulosus in Apulia and Basilicata (Southern Italy): identification of isolates by morphologic, microscopic and molecular means [Quercus]

Basidiomes of Phellinus torulosus were found in 9 oak woods in Apulia and Basilicata (Southern Italy); from these basidiomes 138 isolates of P. torulosus were obtained and identified by their morphologic, microscopic and molecular characteristics.

Description
Summary:Basidiomes of Phellinus torulosus were found in 9 oak woods in Apulia and Basilicata (Southern Italy); from these basidiomes 138 isolates of P. torulosus were obtained and identified by their morphologic, microscopic and molecular characteristics. Based on the type of aerial mycelium (fluffy, cottony or powdery) and its growth, 9 morphotypes were identified. The morphology of the cultures was not correlated with the microscopic characters of the 9 morphotypes. Molecular analysis, such as intergenic transcribed spacers-restriction fragment length polymorphism (ITS-RFLP) and sequencing of the ITS region, confirmed the results obtained with microscopy analysis [Sono stati rinvenuti basidiomi di Phellinus torulosus in 9 querceti in Puglia e Basilicata (Italia Meridionale); da questi basidiomi sono stati ottenuti 138 isolati di P. torulosus, in base alle caratteristiche morfologiche, microscopiche e molecolari. In base al tipo di micelio aereo (lanuginoso, cotonoso o polverulento) e alla sua crescita, sono stati identificati 9 morfotipi. La morfologia delle colture non è risultata correlata con i caratteri microscopici dei 9 morfotipi. L´analisi molecolare, come ITS-RFLP e sequenziamento della regione ITS, ha confermato i risultati dell´analisi microscopica.]
