A New Definition for Glomeromycota
The nuclear-encoded ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) of fungi exist as a multiple-copy gene family comprised of small subunit (SSU), 5.8 S, large subunit (LSU) ribosomal DNA, intergenic spacer (IGS), and 5S ribosomal DNA arranged in a head-to-toe manner (http://sites.biology.duke.edu/fungi/mycolab/primers.htm).

Abstract:

    In this paper, new definitions for Glomeromycota and its related orders, families, and genera were introduced. Meanwhile, species names for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi mass produced by industries or used in field tests were reclassified based on these new definitions. A new dichotomous key for Glomeromycota was provided.

Key words:Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, Glomeromycota, Dichotomous key
