Reviewer/Referee Access Agreement

You have reached this page using a special URL that is intended to be used by journal editors and reviewers or referees of a paper that is under consideration for publication. This URL gives you access to the submitted data and metadata associated with analyses and results presented in the paper under review. Please carefully examine the data paying special attention to the following:
  • The citation data (authors, year, citation, abstract) should be complete, except for information that is not yet known (e.g. volume or page numbers).
  • Verify that nexus files are error-free and executable by software programs (e.g. PAUP, Mesquite, MacClade, etc). Please make sure that the taxon labels for trees are identical, or a subset of, the taxon labels in data matrices connected by way of an analysis. If taxon labels in trees do not match with taxon labels in associated data matrices, the data will not be useful to the scientific community.
  • Verify that data are not missing and that opportunities to supply valuable metadata are not overlooked. For example, TreeBASE can store Genbank accession numbers, museum voucher IDs, latitude and longitudes for specimen localities, character names and character state names for morphological data, etc. Including these metadata are sometimes overlooked by submitting authors, yet sharing this metadata is extremely valuable to the scientific community. Please use your power as a reviewer to encourage the sharing of richly-annotated metadata.
  • Verify that analyses are not missing and that, where possible, analysis entries include software commands (e.g. the contents of a PAUP block or MrBayes block) so that analyses can be replicated easily (e.g. commands that describe substitution models, data partitions, and heuristic search parameters).
  • Verify that taxon labels are mapped against TreeBASE's taxonomic dictionary. Data in TreeBASE can only be found using a taxon name search if the taxon labels are properly mapped.
By clicking the 'OK' button below, you agree to keep these data confidential; you agree not to retain these data after completing your report to the journal editor; you agree not to use these data or knowledge of these data for the purposes of your research until and unless the paper under review has been published and the data have been made available to the general public; you agree to keep the URL confidential.

Abstract

Intra-specific classification of Puccinia coronata has been controversial, with previous approaches falling into three major categories: 1. A two-species system, namely Pu. coronifera and Pu. coronata; 2. The same two-species system subdivided into many formae speciales, in which the host range of each is restricted to species within one genus of Poaceae; 3. A one-species system, Pu. coronata, subdivided into a few varieties with host ranges that may overlap. To re-assess these concepts in the context of multigene analyses and comparative morphological examinations, data were generated for a comprehensive set of herbarium and recently collected specimens, representing a wide range of hosts and geographic origins. Phylogenetic analyses of a combined data set of DNA sequences for four loci (BT, COI, ITS, and RPB2) revealed a high degree of genetic variation. Morphological differences among phylogenetic lineages were overlapping but 9 lineages were differentiated using calculated means for teliospore and urediniospore length/width as well as measurements for the teliospore hilum and digitation. The taxon infecting Avena also comprises collections from a wide range of other grass hosts while other lineages, such as those on Bromus and Agrostis, were restricted in host association. Type specimen DNA sequences included in the analyses resolved the placement of 5 previously described varieties. Based on evidence of host specificity, morphology and multigene analyses, we recognized seven species, one of which was further divided into two varieties. Expanded descriptions, illustrations and a synoptic key are provided. A new series, Puccinia series Coronata, was erected to accommodate all the lineages comprising Pu. coronata sensu lato.
