Molecular characterization of the pathogenic plant fungus Rhizoctonia solani (Ceratobasidiaceae) isolated from Egypt based on protein and PCR-RAPD profiles

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2012
Twenty-one isolates of Rhizoctonia solani were categorized into three anastomosis groups consisting of AG-4-HG-I (eight isolates), AG-2-2 (nine isolates) and AG-5 (four isolates). Their pathogenic capacities were tested on cotton cultivar Giza 86. Pre-emergence damping-off varied in response to the different isolates; however, the differences were ...

Fungal Endophytes: Australian Terrestrial Orchids [PDF]

, 2020
Orchids are unique as they lack a functional rooting system and share an obligate relationship with their fungal symbionts. This relationship supports their host’s nutritional demands from seed germination to its later development.

Effects of the Two Extracted Agglutinins from Rhizoctonia Solani Kühn (Cantharellales: Ceratobasidiaceae) on Digestive Α-amylase of Pieris Brassicae L. (Lepidoptera: Pieridae)

Journal of Nutrition & Food Sciences, 2016
Two galactose specific lectins, RSAI and RSAII, were purified from sclerotia of Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn and their inhibitory effects were assessed on digestive α-amylase of Pieris brassicae Linnaeus. Results revealed molecular weight of 16 and 15.7 kDa and IC50 inhibitory concentration of 0.87 and 1.68 mg/ml for RSAI and RSAII, respectively.

Shallow Genome Sequencing for Phylogenomics of Mycorrhizal Fungi from Endangered Orchids [PDF]

, 2019
Most plant species form symbioses with mycorrhizal fungi and this relationship is especially important for orchids. Fungi in the genera Tulasnella, Ceratobasidium, and Serendipita are critically important for orchid germination, growth and development ...

The nexus of decay and birth: Ecological and evolutionary significance of wood‐decaying fungi in green Calypsoinae orchid germination

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3659-3671, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract A key feature of Orchidaceae is the production of dust‐like seeds that depend on fungal carbon during early development. Although protocorms and mature green orchids typically associate with rhizoctonia fungi, many non‐photosynthetic orchids and some photosynthetic ...

Tunneling Dung Beetle Effects on Soil Microbial Communities and Nutrient Cycling in Pasturelands: Implications for Soil Carbon Dynamics

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
The tunneling dung beetle, Onthophagus taurus (Schreber 1759) buries dung in the soil, affecting soil physical properties, the soil microbial community, as well as nutrient cycling. However, few studies have examined links between dung‐beetle mediated changes in soil microbes and soil organic carbon. We used a 60‐day enclosure experiment to examine how

Synthetic Polyploidisation Enhances Fusarium graminearum Tolerance in Wheat by Reshaping the Transcriptome and Strengthening the Microbiome

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 5252-5278, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Polyploidisation is a natural evolutionary mechanism that enhances plant stress tolerance and environmental adaptability; however, its impact on microbiome homeostasis remains poorly understood. In this study, we selected a nascent euploid synthetic hexaploid wheat line (HG116; 2n = 6x = 42, BBAADD) by selfing a triploid F1 hybrid of Triticum ...

Recovery of mycorrhizal fungi from wild collected protocorms of Madagascan endemic orchidAerangis ellisii(BS Williams) Schltr. and their use in seed germination in vitro [PDF]

, 2020
Orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) are critical for seed germination and maintaining natural populations of orchids, yet the degree of specificity of most orchids to their mycorrhizal associates remains unknown.

Drought Intensity Shapes Soil Legacy Effects on Grassland Plant and Soil Microbial Communities and Their Responses to Future Drought

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.
Drought can have lasting effects on grasslands above‐ and belowground. We found that drought left soil legacies that persisted into the following year, affecting plant community response to a subsequent drought. These effects depended on the intensity of the initial drought and the plant community resource acquisition strategy. Our findings demonstrate
