Comparative Metabarcoding of ITS1, ITS2, and Full‐Length ITS Reveals Marker‐ and Tissue‐Specific Variation in Fungal Community Profiling in Potato

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate profiling of plant‐associated fungal and oomycete communities depends critically on the choice of ITS marker. Using Illumina sequencing for ITS1/ITS2 and PacBio HiFi sequencing for full‐length ITS (ITSf), we compared read recovery, taxonomic assignment depth, and diversity patterns across potato leaf and root tissues.

Using novel-grass endophyte associations as an avian deterrent

open access: yes, 2017
Birds can be major pests in agricultural and horticultural crops as well as being serious hazards to operating aircraft. We evaluated selected grass-endophyte associations for their bird deterrent properties.

An Integrated Assessment of European Soil Health and Restoration Potential

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Soils host a significant proportion of biodiversity on Earth providing ecosystem functions vital to human well‐being, making it imperative to include them and their ecological features when addressing sustainability goals. We performed a comprehensive assessment of soil health across Europe by explicitly integrating biotic and abiotic ...

Agronomic Performance and Microbial Diversity of Wheat Following Organic and Synthetic Seed Treatments: A Three‐Year On‐Farm Swiss Field Study

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Environmental stressors on the agricultural field are increasing, from global warming to the rise of the human population. Among the resulting challenges, plant diseases remain one of the most important causes of crop losses worldwide.

Phylogenetic tree analysis of Endophyte Terpene Synthases.

open access: yes, 2016
A) Comparison of TPSs from four endophytic fungi in the genus Hypoxylon or Daldinia. A total of 26 TPSs from these fungi were grouped into five distinct clusters., B) Comparison of endophyte and plant TPSs., C) Comparison of endophyte and other fungal ...

Fog, Symbiosis, and Survival: The Ecological Architecture of the Grit Crust From the Atacama Desert Represents a Lichen Holobiome Rather Than a Soil Microbiome

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
Multi‐marker metabarcoding (16S rRNA, 18S rRNA, ITS2) of the fog‐dependent grit crust in the Atacama Desert reveals a community structured by lichen symbioses rather than typical soil‐derived microbial assemblages. The green algal photobiont Trebouxia dominates the eukaryotic community, accompanied by lichenized Caliciales and lichen‐associated ...

Novel Endophyte Varities: What\u27s the Difference?

open access: yes, 2016
Over the past few decades forage producers have seen several major changes in varieties of tall fescue. From the days of Kentucky 31 being the predominant variety, the first change was the development of endophyte-free tall fescue varieties.

A new tall fescue with a beneficial endophyte [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Researchers from the University of Arkansas, University of Missouri, and the USDA Agricultural Research Service cooperated in an effort to produce a new cultivar of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) containing an endophyte (Neotyphodium ...

Is the endophyte‐based plant protection against aphids mediated by changes in the insect microbiome?

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1097-1108, June 2026.
We showed that the fungal endophyte Epichloë strain AR37 increased the plant resistance against aphids via the production of indole diterpene alkaloids. The reduction in aphid performance was not associated with changes in abundance/composition/diversity of the insect's bacterial microbiota, but additional endophyte effects on this microbiota cannot be
