Phylogenetic relationships among Porodaedalea pini from Poland and related Porodaedalea species

Abstract: Porodaedalea pini has been found to be a pathogen of Pinus banksiana (1 specimen) and Pinus sylvestris (39 specimens) in north-western Poland. This fungus was initially identified by its host preferences and morphological characters of sporophores and basidiospores. The ITS 1/2 rDNA region was sequenced and analysed using the neighbor-joining, maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony methods. All P. pini from Poland, P. pini neotype and other P. pini isolates from Europe grouped together forming a moderately supported monophyletic clade. The clade included two groups which did not correlate with geographic ranges. Nucleotide polymorphism of the Polish isolates of P. pini was small. This study provides evidence for the taxonomy of some isolates of the Porodaedalea Holarctic Group in North America: grouping with P. laricis or with P. gilbertsonii suggests that the isolates belong to these species. The absence of P. pini (in a form recognized in Europe) in North America is suggested. Sequencing of the ITS 1/2 rDNA region with the basidiomycete-specific primers (ITS1-F and ITS4-B) proved to be a suitable and sufficient method for differentiation of species within the genus Porodaedalea.
