One hundred and five generic types of Pleosporales are described and illustrated. A brief introduction and detailed history with short notes on morphology, molecular phylogeny as well as a general conclusion of each genus are provided. For those genera where the type or a representative specimen is unavailable, a brief note is given. Altogether 174 genera of Pleosporales are treated. Phaeotrichaceae as well as Kriegeriella, Zeuctomorpha and Muroia are excluded from Pleosporales. Based on … Read more...

Three undescribed stictanes, nieblastictanes A, two flavicanes, nieblaflavicanes A and B, together with three already reported stictanes, along with the known compounds (+)-usnic acid, sekikaic acid, divaricatic acid, and divaricatinic acid methyl ester were isolated from an ethyl acetate extract of the western North American lichen Niebla homalea. The structures of the new and known compounds were established by spectroscopic methods including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry … Read more...

Zhang Y., Wang L., Wang X., Printzen C., Timdal E. & Wang L. (2023): Squamarina subcetrarioides comb. & stat. nov. (Stereocaulaceae), a separate species from the type species of Squamarina - The Lichenologist, 55(3-4):133-137

The type species of Squamarina has two varieties, S. gypsacea var. gypsacea and S. gypsacea var. subcetrarioides. In this study, a phylogenetic and taxonomic analysis of these two varieties shows that S. var. subcetrarioides merits treatment as a species separate from S. gypsacea. Therefore, we raise this variety to species level as S. subcetrarioides (Zahlbr.) Y. Y. Zhang. Squamarina subcetrarioides is phylogenetically not closely related to S. gypsacea and differs from that species in the thallus … Read more...

Zhang Y., Wu F., Su M., He D., Gu J.-D., Guo Q., Kakakhel M.A., Yang Y., Wang W. & Feng H. (2021): Spatial and temporal distributions of microbial diversity under natural conditions on the sandstone stelae of the Beishiku Temple in China - International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 163: 105279 [11 p.]

•Illumina MiSeq was used for analysis of biofilm on the stelae of the Beishiku Temple. •The microbial communities colonizing the stelae including lichen, bacteria, fungi, algae were characterized. •Temporal variation in bacterial community was mainly driven by climate factors (temperature, precipitation and wind speed). •Some fungi were lichenized type and related to lichens. •The pH correlated with increased diversity of bacteria and algae. Climate and … Read more...

Zhang Y., Yin Y., Wang L., Printzen C., Wang L. & Wang X. (2024): Two new species of Rhizoplaca (Lecanoraceae) from Southwest China - MycoKeys, 101: 233–248

In this study, two new species, Rhizoplaca adpressa Y. Y. Zhang & Li S. Wang and R. auriculata Y. Y. Zhang, Li S. Wang & Printzen, are described from Southwest China, based on their morphology, phylogeny and chemistry. In phylogeny, the two new species are monophyletic, and sister to each other within Rhizoplaca chrysoleuca-complex. Rhizoplaca adpressa is characterized by its placodioid and closely adnate thallus, pale green and heavily pruinose upper surface, narrow (ca. 1 mm) and white free margin … Read more...

Zhang Y.M., Chen J., Wang L., Wang X.Q. & Gu Z.H. (2007): The spatial distribution patterns of biological soil crusts in the Gurbantunggut Desert, Northern Xinjiang, China - Journal of Arid Environments, 68: 599–610

The Gurbantunggut Desert, the largest fixed and semi-fixed desert in China, is characterized by a predominant coverage of lichen-dominated biological soil crusts, which serve an indispensable role in sand fixation. Two findings of biological soil crusts have been disclosed from previous field observations: first, distribution of biological soil crusts is selective upon locations; second, species composition varies significantly for the biological soil crusts that are at different developing stages. … Read more...

Zhang Y.Y., Wang X.Y., Li L.J., Søchting U., Yin A.C., Wang S.Q. & Wang L.S. (2019): Upretia squamulosa, a new lichen species from the arid valley of Jinsha-jiang River, China - Phytotaxa, 402(6): 288–294

Upretia squamulosa is described as new to science from the arid valley of Jinsha-jiang River, China. It is characterized by a squamulose thallus, greyish green to brown upper surface, lecanorine apothecia, and by containing gyrophoric and lecanoric acids. The other species in the genus, U. amarkantakana, differs from the new species by the crustose to subsquamulose thallus with lobate margin and the absence of gyrophoric and lecanoric acids. A phylogenetic tree based on nrITS for Upretia and related … Read more...

Zhang Y.Y., Wang X.Y., Liu D., Shi H.X., Yang M.X., Li L.J. & Wang L.S. (2018): New species and new records of Ophioparmaceae (lichenized Ascomycota) from China - Lichenologist, 50(1): 89-99

The lichen family Ophioparmaceae contains three genera: Boreoplaca, Hypocenomyce and Ophioparma. The genus Hypocenomyce is reported here for the first time for China, being represented by the species Hypocenomyce scalaris which is distributed in south-western China. For the genus Ophioparma, one new species is described in this paper, namely Ophioparma pruinosa Li S. Wang & Y. Y. Zhang sp. nov., which is characterized by a pruinose thallus and the presence of usnic acid. Ophioparma araucariae is … Read more...

The morphology, chemistry and phylogenetic relationships of Chinese populations of Bulbothrix are described. Nine species, including two new species B. mammillaria Y. Y. Zhang & Li S. Wang sp. nov. and B. lacinia Y. Y. Zhang & Li S. Wang sp. nov., and two newly recorded for the flora, B. scortella and B. meizospora, are reported. Bulbothrix mammillaria can be recognized by the sparse cilia that are reduced to a bulbate structure and the broad lobes (3–11 mm). Bulbothrix lacinia differs from other … Read more...

Wound healing is the process of repairing and remodeling damaged tissue. This is a public health problem that can inﬂuence the survival rate and quality of life of injured people. This attracts the attention of the medical community because it has high health care costs and there is presently a lack of successful therapy. Thus, the application ofnatural ingredients and medicinal plants hasbecome a focus ofresearch.
