Characterization of the microbial communities in wheat tissues and rhizosphere soil caused by dwarf bunt of wheat

Scientific Reports, 2021
Dwarf bunt of wheat, which is caused by Tilletia controversa J.G. Kühn, is a soil-borne disease which may lead up to an 80% loss of yield together with degradation of the quality of the wheat flour by production of a fishy smell.

Variation in seed‐borne microbial communities of Metrosideros excelsa Sol. ex Gaertn. with consequences for germination success

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 1981-2004, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Seed endophytic bacteria and fungi are co‐dispersed with seeds and are likely founders of the initial endophytic microbiome in developing seedlings. The effects of the seed microbiome on seedling survival and growth are of particular interest for their roles in protection against pathogens and plant resistance to environmental stress.

Decaying Spruce Wood as a Factor in Soil Carbon and Energy Flow Through Microbial Communities

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
Decomposing spruce deadwood enhances microbial activity, increases carbon and nitrogen availability and improves soil moisture retention. It plays a crucial role in long‐term carbon storage and biodiversity maintenance, influencing energy and nutrient cycling within forest ecosystems.

Shed Light in the DaRk LineagES of the Fungal Tree of Life—STRES

Life, 2020
The polyphyletic group of black fungi within the Ascomycota (Arthoniomycetes, Dothideomycetes, and Eurotiomycetes) is ubiquitous in natural and anthropogenic habitats. Partly because of their dark, melanin-based pigmentation, black fungi are resistant to

Functional Specialisation and Diversity Shape the Rhizosphere Microbiota of Cacao and Coffee in the Amazonas Region, Peru

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
The microbial species composition, abundance and functional profiles in the rhizospheric soils of cacao and coffee were evaluated. Our findings highlight the presence of predominant but functionally specialised taxa that play unique functional roles within the cacao and coffee rhizosphere ecosystems.

Stigmatodiscus pruni, a new dothideomycete with hysteriform ascomata.

Sydowia, 2017
Stigmatodiscus pruni (Stigmatodiscaceae, Stigmatodiscales) is described and illustrated from corticated dead twigs of Prunus spinosa collected in Austria and France. It is characterised by hysteriform ascomata with two lateral black lips, which are erumpent through the periderm of the host, and a black disc in combination with two-celled, asymmetric ...

Winning by Losing: Exploiting Modified Plant Susceptibility Genes to Counteract Necrotrophic Fungal Pathogens

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, Page 5710-5727, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The infection of plants by pathogens is an intricate process in which genes from both the host and pathogen contribute to the infection process. Susceptibility (S) genes have been defined as plant genes that encode functions that are exploited by pathogens to invade and reproduce in host plants. Mutations in S‐genes therefore result in reduced

Molecular Investigation of Rlm3 From Rapeseed as a Potential Broad‐Spectrum Resistance Gene Against Fungal Pathogens Producing Structurally Conserved Effectors

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 9, Page 2880-2894, December 2025.
AvrLm3 and structural analogues from the multipathogen LARS family trigger recognition by Rlm3 from rapeseed, that recognition being abolished by the presence of AvrLm4‐7 or mutation of key amino acids. ABSTRACT Recognition of a pathogen avirulence (AVR) effector protein by its cognate plant resistance (R) protein triggers immune responses that are ...

New Species of Byssosphaeria (Melanommataceae, Pleosporales) from the Mexican Tropical Montane Cloud Forest

Journal of Fungi
Byssosphaeria Cooke is a monophyletic genus of the family Melanommataceae. The genus is characterized by ascomata smaller than 1000 µm, globose, well-developed subiculum, with a flat ostiole, and yellow-orange or reddish-brown color around the ostiole ...
