Integrative Study Supports the Role of Trehalose in Carbon Transfer From Fungi to Mycotrophic Orchid
Orchids rely on mycorrhizal symbiosis, especially in the stage of mycoheterotrophic protocorms, which depend on carbon and energy supply from fungi. The transfer of carbon from fungi to orchids is well-documented, but the identity of compounds ensuring ...

Tree diversity and species identity effects on soil fungi, protists and animals are context dependent [PDF]
Plant species richness and the presence of certain influential species (sampling effect) drive the stability and functionality of ecosystems as well as primary production and biomass of consumers. However, little is known about these floristic effects on

Indigenous Management Practices to Reduce Pests and Pathogens of Cash Crops in Agroforestry Systems
The crop with the highest damages was cocoa (63.9% plants affected by black pod disease), followed by Fusarium stem rot was the second highest damage in crops (30.0% of vanilla plants infected). Insecticides and fungicides do not have a significant impact in reducing pest and pathogen infestation.
