A monograph for rice blast fungus and allies is being built--https://magnaporthales.sebs.rutgers.edu/

This e-monograph website of Magnaporthales (https://magnaporthales.sebs.rutgers.edu/) is created and released via Rutgers University. Currently there are three families (Magnaporthaceae, Pyriculariaceae, and Ophioceraceae) in Magnaporthales. All accepted species names are included under each family. On the basis of literature and specimen examination, species description, diagnostic illustration, type designation, host range, geographical distribution, and literature are provided for representative taxa, especially the type species for each genus. Genbank sequence accession numbers of eight genes including ITS, 18S, 28S, ACT, CAL, MCM7, RPB1, and TEF1 also are provided in the e-monograph. Genomic sequences of 24 representative taxa are hyperlinked to the genome databases in FunGI and the Broad Institute. Four dichotomous keys to three families and 32 genera, and keys to species of three genera are provided. The Magnaporthales  e-monograph provides free access on updated taxonomic, biogeography and molecular data to researchers and the broader user communities worldwide, and aims to facilitate the future work on systematics, biodiversity, evolution, genetics, plant protection and quarantine.
