Phylogenetic Data for Litschauerella and Tubulicium Fungi in East Asia

First nuc rDNA ITS sequence for Litschauerella abietis and combined ITS and 28S datasets for phylogenetic analysis. The dataset includes sequences and morphological data from type materials and new collections, supporting the description of three new Tubulicium species. Authored by Che-Chih Chen and last updated on 2026-06-03.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic placement of Litschauerella and Tubulicium genera based on combined ITS and 28S sequence data.
• Morphological species delimitation and description of new species based on re-examined type materials.
• Updating identification keys for fungal genera using integrated molecular and morphological evidence.
• Documenting new geographic records for fungal species in Taiwan and Vietnam.

Strengths

• Includes the first nuc rDNA ITS sequence for the type species Litschauerella abietis, a key molecular datum.
• Combines ITS and 28S rDNA sequences for phylogenetic inference using Bayesian and maximum likelihood methods.
• Based on re-examination of type materials and new collections, providing a morphological basis.

Limitations

• Dataset size is 477.3 KB, indicating a very limited scope focused on specific genera.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring inspection after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to collections from East Asia.
