Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

Evaluating putative lncRNA‐mediated ceRNA regulatory network involving miR396 and miR319 in maize leaf growth under Fusarium verticillioides infection

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
The final leaf length of maize (Zea mays) was reduced due to the pathogenic fungus Fusarium verticillioides infection as a result of increased expression of miR396 in the elongation zone and decreased expression of miR319 in the mature zone of maize leaves, leading to antagonistic regulation of the expression of the GRF15 and TCP38, respectively ...

Bacterial endophytes from arid land plants regulate endogenous hormone content and promote growth in crop plants: an example of Sphingomonas sp. and Serratia marcescens

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2017
The objective of the present study was to determine the potential plant growth-promoting action of bacterial endophytes isolated from arid land-dwelling plants under normal conditions. Overall, five bacterial endophytes LK11 (Sphingomonas sp. LK11), TP5 (

Double-digest RADseq loci using standard Illumina indexes improve deep and shallow phylogenetic resolution of Lophodermium, a widespread fungal endophyte of pine needles. [PDF]

, 2018
The phylogenetic and population genetic structure of symbiotic microorganisms may correlate with important ecological traits that can be difficult to directly measure, such as host preferences or dispersal rates.

An Integrated Assessment of European Soil Health and Restoration Potential

Journal 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

Journal 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.

Pilliga Ghosts: The Novel Fungi of the Rivers, Creeks, Lakes, and Dams of the Narrabri Region, Australia

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Freshwater systems of the semi‐arid Narrabri region, Australia, are hotspots of novel fungal and eukaryote diversity, dominated by zoosporic fungi and unclassified lineages. ITS‑based DNA and water chemistry analyses across various water bodies revealed strong seasonal patterns, a scarcity of aquatic hyphomycetes that may reflect environmental ...

From pathogens to partners: temporal and biogeographical patterns in fungal associations of alien trees

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3381-3395, June 2026.
Summary Alien trees reshape belowground fungal communities, but the factors governing the balance between mutualists and pathogens remain unclear. We tested whether residence time, mycorrhizal type, and biogeographical origin shape this balance, and whether alien stands differ from native vegetation. We sampled soils beneath 73 alien tree species in 48

The unseen world: environmental microbial sequencing and identification methods for ecologists [PDF]

, 2014
Archaea, bacteria, microeukaryotes, and the viruses that infect them (collectively “microorganisms”) are foundational components of all ecosystems, inhabiting almost every imaginable environment and comprising the majority of the planet’s organismal and ...
