Mycorrhizal symbiosis induced subtle, cultivar‐specific alterations to the leaf ionome and volatilome of grapevines that may confer a stronger‐constitutive defence. Abstract Searching alternatives to chemicals to protect vines against biotic stresses, while minimizing environmental impact, is a priority.

Native biocrust microbes modulate salinity‐driven recruitment filters in coastal wetlands
Abstract Introduction Mediterranean coastal wetlands are biodiversity hotspots increasingly threatened by climate change, particularly by salinization, which strongly constrains plant recruitment during early life stages. Native soil microbiota may provide nature‐based solutions (NbS) to enhance plant establishment under saline conditions.

Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi
Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?
Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Intelligent Behavior in Fungal Mycelia
Abstract Fungi exhibit remarkably complex behavior through their mycelial networks, which consist of thread‐like structures known as hyphae. Recent research on saprotrophic fungi has demonstrated that their mycelium behaves in ways that indicate memory, learning, decision‐making, and problem‐solving based on spatial pattern recognition—all of which are

Abstract BACKGROUND Surface molds contribute to flavor development in dry‐cured fermented sausages through their effects on proteolysis, amino acid catabolism, and volatile compound formation. This study evaluated the influence of Aspergillus oryzae, Penicillium camemberti, Penicillium roqueforti and Penicillium nalgiovense on the evolution of free ...

Soil microbial diversity: The hidden wealth of sustainable farming
Abstract Soil harbors diverse microbial communities that are fundamental to soil health and agricultural sustainability. Despite their ecological and agronomic importance, these communities remain underutilized as biological resources for improving crop production.
