Aspartic Protease Inhibition Induces Proteomic Remodeling in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a major systemic mycosis in Latin America caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, yet the contribution of aspartic proteases to fungal physiology and pathogenicity remains poorly understood. Here, we employed data‐independent acquisition (DIA)‐based quantitative proteomics to investigate the impact of pepstatin

Impact of plant breeding on the responsiveness of maize and wheat varieties to an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal symbiont

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Field inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offers a promising route to improve sustainable agriculture and food production, yet results are often variable. We investigated the mycorrhizal growth response of maize and wheat varieties recommended for farmers and found substantial variation under greenhouse conditions.

Plant species are more important to bacterial community composition than seeding ratio in a pea‐canola intercropping system

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Demand for agricultural land has increased due to rising demand for food, potentially leading to expansion into previously untouched habitats, which threatens refugia of native plants. We aimed to provide insight into how variation in seeding ratio may impact soil bacterial communities in a pea‐canola intercropping system, potentially altering crop ...

Multiple barriers maintain species boundaries in sympatric brood‐site deceptive Gastrodia orchids

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Gastrodia orchids are inconspicuous forest plants that lack chlorophyll and obtain carbon from fungi. Their dull‐colored, ground‐level flowers are often hidden among leaf litter, yet they rely on small flies for pollination. We show that two co‐occurring Gastrodia species remain distinct even though they share similar pollinators.

An extinction‐emergency metacollection: Maximising future recovery options for Rhodomyrtus psidioides (Myrtaceae), threatened by Myrtle Rust

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
A challenge for wild plant conservation is the rising incidence of plant pathogens that are difficult to interdict, contain and manage. Invasive, fast‐moving, broad‐spectrum pathogens impose societal costs through losses of intrinsically valuable wild biodiversity, ecosystem function, current and potential genetic and biological assets, culturally ...

A historical specimen of False Lingzhi (Ganoderma lucidum) resolves a 245‐year‐old confusion within an important medicinal mushroom group

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has expanded far beyond Asia, with growing markets in North America and Europe for supplements and functional foods. Lingzhi or Reishi (Ganoderma lingzhi), a well‐known medicinal mushroom, is valued for its anti‐inflammatory and anticancer properties.

Floristic condition drives differential response to cultural burns in grassy woodlands for ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cultural burns are a critical Indigenous land management practice with diverse cultural and biodiversity benefits, now being reintroduced by Indigenous communities to Australian grassy woodlands after long post‐colonization suppression. How these burns influence soil fungi, critical partners in plant nutrition, remains poorly understood.

Organic and conventional agricultural management trigger differential arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal responses to water limitation and elevated CO2

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agriculture faces significant challenges under climate change, including rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations and increasingly frequent water limitation, which threaten food security and ecosystem health. Our study included collaborations with local farmers and highlights how arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, key plant symbionts, respond differently ...

Prediction of Prion Proteins in E. coli Based on Bimodal Sequence Characteristics

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prions are infectious proteins that bear misfolded conformations capable of converting folded states into misfolded aggregates under physiologically relevant conditions. In mammals, prions cause deadly maladies including Creutzfeldt‐Jakob and chronic wasting disease. To date, several prion proteins have been identified in eukaryotes, primarily

Evolutionary trade‐offs between beauvericin production and growth define divergent virulence strategies in Beauveria

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Two virulence strategies in Beauveria: a growth strategy characterized by rapid within‐host proliferation, and a toxin strategy involving antimicrobial activity and toxicity to insects Abstract BACKGROUND Pathogen virulence is often attributed to toxin production, yet toxins are metabolically costly and may not universally enhance fitness.
