The impact of genetic modified Ma bamboo on soil microbiome

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Evaluating the potential alteration of microbial communities is a vital step for biosafety of genetic modified plants. Recently, we have produced genetic modified Ma bamboo with increased cold and drought tolerance by anthocyanin accumulation.

Sharing the light, impact of solar parks on plant productivity, soil microbes and soil organic matter

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Solar parks enable renewable energy production at a large scale, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the effects of this change in land use on vegetation and soil health are still largely unknown. In this study, we determined the impacts of solar parks on vegetation, soil biota and soil carbon between and below solar panels.

Antifungal Th immunity: growing up in family

Frontiers in Immunology, 2014
Fungal diseases represent an important paradigm in immunology since they can result from either the lack of recognition or over–activation of the inflammatory response.

Identification of microbial signatures linked to oilseed rape yield decline at the landscape scale

Microbiome, 2021
Background The plant microbiome plays a vital role in determining host health and productivity. However, we lack real-world comparative understanding of the factors which shape assembly of its diverse biota, and crucially relationships between microbiota

Proteolytic Activity of Lactic Acid Bacteria Strains and Fungal Biota for Potential Use as Starter Cultures in Dry-Cured Ham

Journal of Food Protection, 2011
During the processing of dry-cured meat products, sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins undergo proteolysis, which has a marked effect on product flavor. Microbial proteolytic activity is due to the action of mostly lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and to a lesser extent micrococci.

Incorporating soil biological and functional attributes to advance ecological restoration

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Earth is currently experiencing a mass extinction crisis, predominantly driven by anthropogenic activities, with land use change causing widespread loss and degradation of native ecosystems and indigenous species. There is an urgent need to halt this trend and restore degraded habitat to preserve biodiversity and protect threatened plants and animals ...

Application of Sodium Silicate Enhances Cucumber Resistance to Fusarium Wilt and Alters Soil Microbial Communities

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Exogenous silicates can enhance plant resistance to pathogens and change soil microbial communities. However, the relationship between changes in soil microbial communities and enhanced plant resistance remains unclear.

Polypore fungi as a flagship group to indicate changes in biodiversity – a test case from Estonia

IMA Fungus, 2021
Polyporous fungi, a morphologically delineated group of Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota), are considered well studied in Europe and used as model group in ecological studies and for conservation.

Digitisation of herbarium specimens to the benefit of research: An African perspective focusing on South Africa and Western Indian Ocean Island states

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Botanical exploration, discovery and conservation rely heavily on access to herbarium collections. Recently, digital access to label information, including georeferenced locality data, and images of herbarium specimens available online have greatly increased usage of herbarium specimen data.

FREQUENCY OF YEASTS AND FILAMENTOUS FUNGI IN THE EXTERNAL EAR CANALS OF CATTLE IN IRAN

Slovenian Veterinary Research, 2016
  Fungal microbiotas are saprophytic microorganisms that can act as opportunistic pathogens in animals. This study was carried out in order to isolate and identify the ear fungal biota from healthy cattle. The samples were taken using premoistened swabs
