Can nano-silver products endanger beneficial soil fungi?
Abstract Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in industry due to their anti-microbial properties. Despite of its beneficial, they may potentially affect the activity of beneficial soil microorganisms. Trichoderma harzianum was used in this to investigate the effect of AgNPs on beneficial soil fungi.

Response of Soil Fungal Community Structure to Long-Term Continuous Soybean Cropping
Long-term continuous soybean cropping can lead to the aggravation of soil fungal disease. However, the manner in which the fungal community and functional groups of fungi are affected by continuous soybean cropping remains unclear.

MLO Differentially Regulates Barley Root Colonization by Beneficial Endophytic and Mycorrhizal Fungi [PDF]
Loss-of-function alleles of MLO (Mildew Resistance Locus O) confer broad-spectrum resistance to foliar infections by powdery mildew pathogens. Like pathogens, microbes that establish mutually beneficial relationships with their plant hosts, trigger the induction of some defense responses. Initially, barley colonization by the root endophyte Serendipita

A review on metal-based nanoparticles and their toxicity to beneficial soil bacteria and fungi
The unregulated deposition of metal-based nanoparticles in terrestrial ecosystems particularly in agricultural systems has alarmingly threatened the sustainability of the environment and diversity of beneficial microbial populations such as soil bacteria

A review of the influence of root-associating fungi and root exudates on the success of invasive plants [PDF]
Plant-fungal interactions are essential for understanding the distribution and abundance of plants species. Recently, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) partners of non-indigenous invasive plants have been hypothesized to be a critical factor ...

Biocontrol mechanisms of endophytic fungi
Background Scientific approaches into modern agricultural systems, as opposed to the use of synthetic pesticides in food production, became important by exploring endophytic fungi capable of protecting plants against pathogens for maximum crop ...

Draft Genome Resources for Plant-Beneficial Fungi Clonostachys rosea Strains ACM941 and 88-710 [PDF]
Clonostachys rosea strains ACM941 and 88-710 are beneficial microbes recognized for their plant disease control and growth promotion properties, respectively, when applied to economically important crops. In addition to their geographical and functional overlap, the two strains also share a high degree of genetic similarity.

Do interactions between plant roots and the rhizosphere affect parasitoid behaviour? [PDF]
Multitrophic interactions are powerful forces shaping the structure of living communities. Plants encounter a great diversity of organisms in their environment: some of these interactions are beneficial (e.g. symbiotic fungi and insect pollinators) while
