Abstract

Caeoma mori (≡ Aecidium mori), known as the mulberry rust which is an anamorphic rust fungus forming only aecidioid uredinia, were found on Morus alba in Ibaraki and Saitama Prefectures, Japan. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using the combined dataset of sequences from 28S and 18S of the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene and Cytochrome-c-oxidase subunit 3 of the mitochondrial DNA revealed that this anamorphic rust fungus was a member of the clade composed of the genus Gymnosporangium. Therefore, a new combination, Gymnosporangium mori is proposed for this species. Additionally, a new combination, G. brucense for Roestelia brucensis is proposed by phylogenetic evidence.
