Ophiostomatoid fungi (Ascomycota: Ophiostomataceae) associated with bark beetles and their possible economic impact in forests and timber production

Nève Repe, Andreja (author), Jurc, Maja (author)

Ophiostomatoid fungi are commercially and economically important group of fungi in forestry and timber production. This group is represented by several genera of Ascomycetes with common morphological characteristics, although withdistinct taxonomy and phylogeny. Several genera of ophiostomatoid fungi have been considered synonymous solely based on morphological similarities as a result of an adaptation to insect dispersal. Ophiostomatoid fungi cause considerable economic losses in the forestry and timber production due to sap stain and vascular wilt diseases. The threat of introduced ophiostomatoid fungi is increasing with the global timber trade and loose control measurements. An overview of the taxonomy, ecology, concept of association (mutualism/symbiosis) and the economic importance of ophiostomatoid fungi are provided.

• Title: Ofiostomatoidne glive (Ascomycota: Ophiostomataceae) na podlubnikih in njihov možni gospodarski vpliv na gozdove in lesno proizvodnjo

Abstract

Ofiostomatoidne glive so komercialno in gospodarsko pomembna skupina gliv za gozdarstvo in za proizvodnjo lesa. To skupino predstavlja več rodov Ascomycetes, ki imajo veliko enakih morfoloških značilnosti, vendar različno taksonomijo in filogenijo. Več rodov ofiostomatoidnih gliv je bilo štetih kot sinonim na podlagi morfološke podobnosti, ki je rezultat prilagoditve vektorskemu raznosu. Ofiostomatoidne glive povzročajo velike gospodarske izgube v gozdarstvu in lesni proizvodnji, ker povzročajo obarvanje beljave in bolezni prevodnih elementov dreves. Nevarnost vnosa ofiostomatoidnih gliv se veča z globalno trgovino z lesom in z ohlapnimi ukrepi nadzora trgovine. Prikazana sta pregled taksonomije, ekologije, koncept asociacije (mutualizem /simbioza) in gospodarska pomembnost ofiostomatoidnih gliv.
