Reduction in litter allelochemicals promotes positive biotic interactions among alien species
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract A key focus of invasion ecology is elucidating why multiple alien species accumulate within ecosystems. The invasional meltdown hypothesis proposes that one alien invader promotes further invasions through soil legacy effects.

Mikroorganismen an Aesculus hippocastanum – olfaktorische Perspektive von Cameraria ohridella (Deschka & Dimic) [PDF]
Since the 80s, the popular park- and city tree Aesculus hippocastanum has been infested with the leaf miner Cameraria ohridella (DESCHKA & DIMIC 1986). Additionally, the pathogenic fungi Guignardia aesculi causes leaf blotch disease and Erysiphe flexuosa

ABSTRACT Fusarium species cause yield losses in wheat production through fusarium head blight (FHB) and the associated contamination of regulated mycotoxins, such as trichothecenes and zearalenone. Despite the widespread use of PCR‐based molecular approaches for Fusarium detection, quantification, and chemotyping, most primers were developed prior to ...

Effect of Endophytic Fungi on Thrips tabaci Development and Population Dynamics
ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are promising biocontrol agents because they colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically while inducing systemic resistance that negatively affects herbivorous insects. We investigated whether treatments with the endophytes Trichoderma harzianum and Beauveria bassiana in two onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.; Sturon and Red ...

Fungal endophytes of aerial roots of Ficus benghalensis
Mitosporic fungi and several sterile forms were isolated as endophytes from the leaf tissues and aerial roots of Ficus benghalensis (Moraceae). Although similar number of endophyte species was present in lamina and petiole, the endophytic fungi more ...

Partial mycoheterotrophy: a common strategy in arbuscular mycorrhizal plants?
Proposed autotrophy to mycoheterotrophy continuum among arbuscular mycorrhizal plants. Summary The vast majority of land plants transfer part of the organic carbon they produce by photosynthesis to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi inside their root cells; the fungi in turn help plants to take up nutrients and water from the soil.

Investigation and analysis of taxonomic irregularities with the Botryosphaeriaceae [PDF]
Many members of Botryosphaeriaceae live as endophytes with a latent phase that can cause disease in native and non-native plant hosts around the world. The main Botryosphaeriaceae examined in this thesis included species in the Lasiodiplodia theobromae ...

ABSTRACT Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by certain fungi have previously been suggested to modulate plant development and their response to stresses. While some fungal species, such as Trichoderma harzianum, are known to produce VOCs, the production of VOCs in other phylogenetically divergent species, such as Mucor mucedo, was previously ...

Fungal endophytes associated with Brachiaria grasses
Most higher plants host microbes as endophytes (organisms living within plants for some or part of their lifecycle without causing apparent disease), some of which can be beneficial to the plant, providing resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses ...

A single clonal lineage has driven Cape beech canker for nearly two decades. However, the fungus was also found in healthy trees, suggesting that this emerging disease may have a more complex origin than a simple pathogen introduction. ABSTRACT Immersiporthe knoxdaviesiana (Cryphonectriaceae) causes an aggressive canker disease on native Myrsine ...
