Contrasting Effects of Grazing in Shaping the Seasonal Trajectory of Foliar Fungal Endophyte Communities on Two Semiarid Grassland Species

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Fungal endophytes are harboured in the leaves of every individual plant host and contribute to plant health, leaf senescence, and early decomposition. In grasslands, fungal endophytes and their hosts often coexist with large herbivores.

Changes in nitrogen and phosphorus availability driven by secondary succession in temperate forests shape soil fungal communities and function

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The soil fungal community plays an important role in forest ecosystems and is crucially influenced by forest secondary succession. However, the driving factors of fungal community and function during temperate forest succession and their potential impact

Molecular ecological analyses of specific interactions between symbionts in the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis [PDF]

, 2007
Arbuscular mycorrhiza is an ancient symbiosis between the majority of land plants and fungi from the phylum Glomeromycota. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonize plant roots and contribute to the mineral nutrient uptake of the hosts in exchange ...

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.
