Yoshimuria
''Yoshimuria'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Teloschistaceae. It has four species of crustose lichens. Taxonomy The genus was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed in 2014 by a group of lichenologists, who assigned ''Yoshimuria spodoplaca'' as the type species. Three species were originally included in the genus. The genus name honours the Japanese lichenologist Isao Yoshimura, "for his many contributions to lichenology in Eastern Asia". ''Yoshimuria'' is in the subfamily Caloplacoideae of the family Teloschistaceae. Description ''Yoshimuria'' is characterised by a crust-like (crustose) thallus, which can vary greatly in thickness from very thin to thick and can be (i.e., divided by cracks into sections called ). The colour of the thallus ranges from whitish grey to dark grey or brownish grey. The apothecia of ''Yoshimuria'' (fruiting bodies) are either (with a ) or (without a thalline margin), and are typically (attached directly without a stalk). ...

Yoshimuria Seokpoensis
''Yoshimuria seokpoensis'' is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. It is only known to occur on South Korea's Ulleungdo Island, where it grows on siliceous rock. Taxonomy Yoshimuria seokpoensis was scientifically described by the lichenologists Sergey Kondratyuk, László Lőkös, and Jae-Seoun Hur in 2019. The type specimen was collected on Ulleungdo Island in Gyeongsangbukdo in South Korea. It was found on siliceous rock between Naesujeon and Seokpo Waterfall at an elevation of approximately above sea level. The species epithet, ''seokpoensis'', is derived from the Seokpo area on Ulleungdo Island, referencing the location where it was first discovered. Description ''Yoshimuria seokpoensis'' forms a thallus that ranges from across, though it can aggregate into larger formations. The thallus surface is continuous or with small cracks, which are up to 0.05 mm wide and confined to the cortical layer and algal zone. The s ...

Teloschistaceae
The Teloschistaceae are a large family of mostly lichen-forming fungi belonging to the class Lecanoromycetes in the division Ascomycota. The family, estimated to contain over 1800 species, was extensively revised in 2013, including the creation or resurrection of 31 genera. It contains three subfamilies: Xanthorioideae, Caloplacoideae, and Teloschistoideae. A fourth subfamily, Brownlielloideae, proposed in 2015, has been shown to be part of the Teloschistoideae. Genera This is a list of the genera contained within the Teloschistaceae, based on a 2020 review and summary of ascomycete classification. Following the genus name is the taxonomic authority, year of publication, and the number of species: *'' Amundsenia'' – 2 spp. *'' Andina'' - 1 sp. *'' Apatoplaca'' – 1 sp. *'' Aridoplaca'' - 1 sp. *'' Athallia'' – 17 spp. *'' Austroplaca'' – 10 spp. *'' Blastenia'' – 11 spp. *'' Brownliella'' – 4 spp. *'' Bryoplaca'' – 3 spp. *'' Calogaya'' – 19 spp. *'' Cal ...

Index Fungorum
''Index Fungorum'' is an international project to index all formal names (scientific names) in the fungus kingdom. the project is based at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, one of three partners along with Landcare Research and the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is somewhat comparable to the International Plant Names Index (IPNI), in which the Royal Botanic Gardens is also involved. A difference is that where IPNI does not indicate correct names, the ''Index Fungorum'' does indicate the status of a name. In the returns from the search page a currently correct name is indicated in green, while others are in blue (a few, aberrant usages of names are indicated in red). All names are linked to pages giving the correct name, with lists of synonyms. ''Index Fungorum'' is one of three nomenclatural repositories recognized by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi; the others are '' MycoBank'' and '' Fungal Names''. Current names in ''Index Fungorum'' ('' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Parietin
Parietin is the predominant cortical pigment of lichens in the genus ''Caloplaca'', a secondary product of the lichen '' Xanthoria parietina'', and a pigment found in the roots of Curled Dock (''Rumex crispus''). It has an orangy-yellow color and absorbs blue light. It is also known as physcion. It has also been shown to protect lichens against UV-B light, at high altitudes in Alpine regions. The UV-B light stimulates production of parietin and the parietin protects the lichens from damage. Lichens in arctic regions such as Svarlbard retain this capability though they do not encounter damaging levels of UV-B, a capability that could help protect the lichens in case of Ozone layer thinning. It has also shown anti-fungal activity against barley powdery mildew and cucumber powdery mildew, more efficiently in the latter case than treatments with fenarimol and polyoxin B. It reacts with KOH to form a deep, reddish-magenta compound. Effect on human cancer cells Also found in rh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Atranorin
Atranorin is a chemical substance produced by some species of lichen. It is a secondary metabolite belonging to a group of compounds known as depsides. Atranorin has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic, antioxidant, antiviral, and immunomodulatory properties. In rare cases, people can react allergic Allergies, also known as allergic diseases, refer a number of conditions caused by the hypersensitivity of the immune system to typically harmless substances in the environment. These diseases include hay fever, food allergies, atopic derm ... to atranorin. References Further reading * * * * Polyphenols Lichen products {{organic-compound-stub ...

Huea Cerussata
''Huea'' is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Lecanoraceae. It was circumscribed by Carroll William Dodge and Gladys Elizabeth Baker in 1938. The genus name of ''Huea'' is in honour of Father Auguste-Marie Hue (1840–1917), who was a French lichenologist and clergyman.

Gyalolechia Stipitata
''Gyalolechia'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi belonging to the family Teloschistaceae. It contains 18 species of crustose lichens. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo in 1852. He included two species: '' G. bracteata'' and '' G. aurea''. Although Massalongo did not designate a type species for the genus, Josef Poelt assigned ''G. aurea'' to that status in 1965. After Massalongo introduced the monotypic genus ''Fulgensia'' in 1853, ''Gyalolechia'' fell out of use. ''Gyalolechia'' was resurrected for use by Ulf Arup and colleagues in 2013, as part of a molecular phylogenetics-based restructuring of the Teloschistaceae. ''Gyalolechia'', which is sister to the genus ''Blastenia'', contains most of the species formerly assigned to the genus ''Fulgensia'', the species group centred around the taxon formerly known as ''Caloplaca flavorubescens'', and other species that contain fragilin as the dominant lichen product.

Ingvar Kärnefelt
Jan Eric Ingvar Kärnefelt (born 1944) is a Swedish lichenologist. Early life and education Kärnefelt was born in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1944. His initial goal in his higher-level studies at University of Cologne in 1966–1967 was to become a dentist. He changed courses in 1968, turning instead to biology at the University of Gothenburg in 1968. Gunnar Degelius, his first teacher during undergraduate studies in botany in 1968, inspired him and others. After Degelius' retirement in 1969, Ingvar continued his studies at Lund University, where Hans Runemark held a position in systematic botany. In 1971 he met Ove Almborn, who became his supervisor. In 1979, he defended his thesis titled "The brown fruticose species of ''Cetraria''". The thesis was later awarded a prize for the best doctoral dissertation in botany at Lund University during a 5-year period by the Royal Physiographic Society in Lund.
