Abstract Nitrogen (N) fixation performed by certain prokaryotes (diazotrophs) is a key source of new N in pristine ecosystems. Diazotrophs associate with various plants, including bryophytes—the dominant plant group in northern ecosystems such as boreal forests. There, bryophyte‐associated N2 fixation contribute half of total ecosystem N input. However,

Fungal alkaloid occurrence during seedling establishment and early growth in Lolium perenne seedlings infected with Epichloë festucae var. lolii and the influence of adult Argentine stem weevil (Listronotus bonariensis) feeding on alkaloid concentrations : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (MSc) in Agriculture Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Fungal endophytes of the genus Epichloë often form stable, symbiotic, and mutualistic relationships with grasses of the Pooideae, including perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.).

ABSTRACT Microbial biostimulants offer sustainable alternatives to chemical fertilizers in legume cultivation by enhancing seed germination, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience, while maintaining the yield. However, their practical application is often limited by weak shelf life and reduced viability under environmental conditions. In this study, we

Characterization of the Mycobiome of the Seagrass, Zostera marina, Reveals Putative Associations With Marine Chytrids. [PDF]
Seagrasses are globally distributed marine flowering plants that are foundation species in coastal ecosystems. Seagrass beds play essential roles as habitats and hatcheries, in nutrient cycling, and in protecting the coastline from erosion. Although many
