Abstract

The aims of this study are to assess the utility of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, and partial translation elongation factor (EF1α) and RNA polymerase II (RPB2) genes, for differentiation of Bailinggu, P. eryngii, and P. nebrodensis; to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships between the three species; and to confirm the taxonomic status of Bailinggu based on ribosomal and protein-coding genes. Pairwise genetic distances between Bailinggu, P. eryngii, and related Pleurotus strains were calculated by using the p-distance model, and molecular phylogeny of these isolates was estimated based on ITS, RPB2, and EF1α using maximum parsimony and Bayesian methods. Differences in ITS, RPB2, and EF1α sequences show that Bailinggu, P. eryngii, and P. nebrodensis are distinct at the species level. Phylogenetic analyses reveal that P. eryngii is closer to P. nebrodensis than to Bailinggu. Sequence analyses of ribosomal and protein-coding genes confirm that P. eryngii var. tuoliensis is identical to Bailinggu. P. eryngii var. tuoliensis should be raised to species level or a new name should be introduced for Bailinggu after a thorough investigation into Pleurotus isolates from Ferula in Xinjiang Province. This study helps to resolve uncertainty regarding Bailinggu, P. eryngii and P. nebrodensis, improving the resource management of these strains. ITS, EF1α, and RPB2 sequences can be used to distinguish Bailinggu, P. eryngii and P. nebrodensis as three different species, and P. eryngii var. tuoliensis should be the scientific name for Bailinggu at present.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 April 2016.
All research outputs
#20,320,000
of 22,862,742 outputs
Outputs from Molecular Biology Reports
#2,042
of 2,919 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#254,940
of 300,866 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Molecular Biology Reports
#15
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,862,742 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,919 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 300,866 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
