Elucidating the Functional and Taxonomic Diversity of Soil Microbial Communities From Three Commercial Soybean Farms in South Africa

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Prior to inoculation of soybeans, South African soils contain no Bradyhizobia that nodulate and fix nitrogen in soybeans. Soybean cultivation with prolonged inoculation resulted in the establishment and dominance of Bradyrhizobia in three soybean farms in South Africa as revealed by a microbial community study using shotgun metagenomics. ABSTRACT Prior

From pathogens to partners: temporal and biogeographical patterns in fungal associations of alien trees

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3381-3395, June 2026.
Summary Alien trees reshape belowground fungal communities, but the factors governing the balance between mutualists and pathogens remain unclear. We tested whether residence time, mycorrhizal type, and biogeographical origin shape this balance, and whether alien stands differ from native vegetation. We sampled soils beneath 73 alien tree species in 48

Silene, a versatile model system: from sex and genome evolution to ecology and speciation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3613-3630, June 2026.
Summary Fundamental and applied research in evolutionary biology benefits from the use of model systems in which approaches from disparate disciplines can be integrated. Here, we review recent progress in evolutionary research on the long‐standing model system Silene, a large genus with a well‐resolved phylogeny and newly available, expanded genomic ...

The phylogenetic structure of plant communities drives the belowground transmission of fungal pathogens

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3976-3989, June 2026.
Summary Biodiversity is known to influence disease risk, yet the pathways of pathogen transmission within plant communities remain poorly understood, especially belowground. In particular, how soil‐borne pathogens move from resident vegetation and soil to colonize new hosts is unresolved.

Evaluation of combined root exudate and rhizosphere microbiota sampling approaches to elucidate plant–soil–microbe interactions

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 4077-4092, June 2026.
Summary Deciphering the root exudate‐driven interplay between plants and the rhizosphere microbiota is essential for understanding plant adaptation to the environment and future‐proofing crop production. However, sampling root exudates and rhizosphere soil remains challenging due to the low throughput and destructive nature of the process.

Endophytic and ectomycorrhizal, an overlooked dual ecological niche? Insights from natural environments and Russula species

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3946-3960, June 2026.
Summary Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) are key components of temperate ecosystems, and recent studies suggest that they can also inhabit non‐EcM plant roots as endophytes. We aimed to (1) provide new evidence of EcMF colonization of non‐EcM hosts, (2) offer direct microscopic confirmation of such endophytism and (3) assess factors influencing ...

Additions to the taxonomy of the Auriculariales (Basidiomycota) with pedunculate basidia

open access: yesMycoKeys
In the present paper, we revise the taxonomy of the Auriculariales having pedunculate (stalked) basidia. In total, sixteen new species from Europe, East Asia, North and South America, and tropical Africa are described. They are classified among the genera Hydrophana, Mycostilla, Myxarium, Protoacia, Protohydnum, and Protomerulius.

Nuclear behavior of the mycelium and the phylogeny of Polypores (Basidiomycota)

open access: yesMycologia, 2011
This is a review of the available knowledge on nuclear behavior of the mycelium within polypore genera (Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota). Information on 68 genera showed that nuclear behavior is a distinct and consistent feature at genus level and can be coupled with phylogenetic differentiation. The sole exception was found in Polyporus, where different

Pregled utrobnjača (Basidiomycota, Fungi) Hrvatske

open access: yesNatura Croatica : Periodicum Musei Historiae Naturalis Croatici, 2005
A survey of the gasteral Basidiomycota of Croatia is given. 68 species belonging to 26 genera are presented. Five genera and 18 species are reported as new to Croatia. For each species, the published and unpublished sources of data are given, as well as the collections in which the material is deposited.
