Summary: Previous studies have revealed that the genus Hellenia within the family Costaceae is non-monophyletic. This study further confirms the paraphyly of Hellenia through plastid phylogenomic analyses and morphological analyses. A new genus, Parahellenia, is recognized based on the molecular and morphological evidence.

Summary: Millettia Wight & Arn. is a heterogeneous genus within the tribe Millettieae (Leguminosae), and the representative section, Millettia sect. Podocarpae Dunn, is distinct from other species and closely related to Antheroporum Gagnep. and Ohashia X.Y. Zhu & R.P. Zhang. Therefore, a new genus, Huchimingia Z.Q. Song & Shi J. Li, is proposed to accommodate this distinct section.

Summary: This study conducted phylogenetic and morphological analyses on Ceriporia and other related genera in Irpicaceae. It identified new species and proposed new combinations within Ceriporia, Gloeoporus, and Meruliopsis. The study also revealed the evolutionary times of these genera, with Irpicaceae emerging during the middle Jurassic, and Ceriporia and Meruliopsis diversifying during the early Cretaceous.

Summary: During scientific expeditions in Indonesia and Vietnam, sponge specimens of the genus Cladocroce were collected. By integrating morphological and molecular analyses, three congeneric species were identified using species delimitation models and phylogenetic approaches. Two new species, C. pansinii sp. nov. and C. lamellata sp. nov., were formally described. The re-examination of type material confirmed the coexistence of C. burapha with C. pansinii sp. nov. in Vietnam and with C. lamellata in Indonesia.

Summary: The study describes a new genus, Stolonochloa, and segregates two new combinations, comparing the differentiating morphological characters with other genera of the sub-tribe Boivinellinae. Phenetic analyses show similarities between Stolonochloa and Entolasia and Ottochloa in the Australian Boivinellinae, but also highlight key differences in various characters. Stolonochloa differs from Panicum s.s. in terms of photosynthetic pathway and other traits, with the study evaluating consistency of results from multiple cluster analyses.

Summary: Based on molecular and morphological evidence, this study proposes two new Haploporus species from South America. Molecular clock analysis suggests that the ancestor of Polyporales originated between the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous period, and the genus Haploporus occurred at a later period. Most Haploporus species diversified during the Paleogene to Neogene.

Summary: Cyanosporus is a cosmopolitan brown-rot fungal genus characterized by blue-tinted basidiocarps. Recent studies have identified five new species within this genus and transferred fifteen species from another complex. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted using various genetic markers to support these taxonomic changes.

Summary: Brown-rot fungi are important for forest ecosystems as they degrade wood cellulose and hemicellulose, and contribute to nutrient cycling. Recent studies have shown that the ability to produce brown rot has evolved independently multiple times. This study focuses on the classification and phylogenetic relationships of brown-rot fungi within the Polyporales, based on DNA sequences from various loci. The study proposes new families, genera, species, and combinations, and provides illustrations and descriptions for the new species.

Summary: This study investigated the bioactive components and antioxidant activities of various species of Sanghuangporus fungi. The results showed that the antioxidant capacity of Sanghuangporus is closely related to the contents of flavonoid and ascorbic acid, followed by polyphenol and triterpenoid, and finally, polysaccharide. These findings provide important resources and guidance for the separation, purification, and development of bioactive agents from wild Sanghuangporus species, as well as the optimization of their artificial cultivation conditions.
