  • Armillaria root-rot pathogens : species boundaries and global distribution 
    Coetzee, Martin Petrus Albertus; Wingfield, Brenda D.; Wingfield, Michael J. (MDPI, 2018-10-24)
    This review considers current knowledge surrounding species boundaries of the Armillaria root-rot pathogens and their distribution. In addition, a phylogenetic tree using translation elongation factor subunit 1-alpha ...
  • Bradyrhizobium altum sp. nov., Bradyrhizobium oropedii sp. nov. and Bradyrhizobium acaciae sp. nov. from South Africa show locally restricted and pantropical nodA phylogeographic patterns

  • Ceratocystidaceae exhibit high levels of recombination at the mating-type (MAT) locus 
    Simpson, M.C. (Melissa Claire); Coetzee, Martin Petrus Albertus; Van der Nest, Magrieta Aletta; Wingfield, Michael J.; Wingfield, Brenda D. (Elsevier, 2018-12)
    Mating is central to many fungal life cycles and is controlled by genes at the mating-type (MAT) locus. These genes determine whether the fungus will be self-sterile (heterothallic) or self-fertile (homothallic). Species ...
  • Draft genome sequences of Fusarium xylarioides, Teratosphaeria gauchensis and T. zuluensis and genome annotation for Ceratocystis fimbriata 
    Wingfield, Brenda D.; Fourie, Arista; Simpson, Melissa Claire; Bushula-Njah, Vuyiswa; Aylward, Janneke; Barnes, Irene; Coetzee, Martin Petrus Albertus; Dreyer, Leanne Laurette; Duong, Tuan A.; Geiser, David M.; Roets, Francois; Steenkamp, Emma Theodora; Van der Nest, Magrieta Aletta; Van Heerden, Carel J.; Wingfield, Michael J. (International Mycological Association, 2019-09-13)
    Draft genomes of the fungal species Fusarium xylarioides, Teratosphaeria gauchensis and T. zuluensis are presented. In addition an annotation of the genome of Ceratocystis fimbriata is presented. Overall these genomes ...
  • Evolution of lifestyles in Capnodiales 
    Abdollahzadeh, J.; Groenewald, Johannes Zacharias; Coetzee, Martin Petrus Albertus; Wingfield, Michael J.; Crous, Pedro W. (Elsevier, 2020-03)
    The Capnodiales, which includes fungi known as the sooty moulds, represents the second largest order in Dothideomycetes, encompassing morphologically and ecologically diverse fungi with different lifestyles and modes of ...
  • Fungal genomes enhance our understanding of the pathogens affecting trees cultivated in Southern Hemisphere plantations 
    Coetzee, Martin Petrus Albertus; Santana, Quentin C.; Steenkamp, Emma Theodora; Wingfield, Brenda D.; Wingfield, Michael J. (NISC (Pty) Ltd and Informa UK Limited (trading as Taylor and Francis Group), 2020)
    Forest pathogens are a major cause of forest disturbances and they have a significant economic impact on commercial forestry. Genomics is an important technology now available for studies concerning tree health, enabling ...
  • Genome-informed Bradyrhizobium taxonomy : where to from here? 
    Avontuur, Juanita R.; Palmer, Marike; Beukes, Chrizelle Winsie; Chan, Wai Yin; Coetzee, Martin Petrus Albertus; Blom, Jochen; Stępkowski, Tomasz; Kyrpides, Nikos C.; Woyke, Tanja; Shapiro, Nicole; Whitman, William B.; Venter, S.N. (Stephanus Nicolaas); Steenkamp, Emma Theodora (Elsevier, 2019-07)
    Bradyrhizobium is thought to be the largest and most diverse rhizobial genus, but this is not reflected in the number of described species. Although it was one of the first rhizobial genera recognised, its taxonomy remains ...
  • IMA Genome-F 11 : draft genome sequences of Fusarium xylarioides, Teratosphaeria gauchensis and T. zuluensis and genome annotation for Ceratocystis fimbriata

(International Mycological Association, 2019)
    Draft genomes of the fungal species Fusarium xylarioides, Teratosphaeria gauchensis and T. zuluensis are presented. In addition an annotation of the genome of Ceratocystis fimbriata is presented. Overall these genomes ...
  • Prokaryotic species are sui generis evolutionary units 
    Palmer, Marike; Venter, S.N. (Stephanus Nicolaas); Coetzee, Martin Petrus Albertus; Steenkamp, Emma Theodora (Elsevier, 2019-03)
    Many gene flow barriers associated with genetic isolation during eukaryotic species divergence, are lacking in prokaryotes. In these organisms the processes associated with horizontal gene transfer (HGT) may provide both ...
  • Ras2 is important for growth and pathogenicity in Fusarium circinatum 
    Phasha, Mmatshepho Malekgale; Wingfield, Michael J.; Wingfield, Brenda D.; Coetzee, Martin Petrus Albertus; Hallen-Adams, H.; Fru, Felix Fon; Swalarsk-Parry, Benedicta S.; Yilmaz, Neriman; Duong, Tuan A.; Steenkamp, Emma Theodora (Elsevier, 2021-05)
