Regional-scale in-depth analysis of soil fungal diversity reveals strong pH and plant species effects in Northern Europe [PDF]
, 2020 Soil microbiome has a pivotal role in ecosystem functioning, yet little is known about its build-up from local to regional scales. In a multi-year regional-scale survey involving 1251 plots and long-read third-generation sequencing, we found that soil pH

Restoration Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 5, July 2023., 2023 During reclamation organisms like fungi directly interact at the soil–plant interface and can potentially impact plant growth, health, and overall revegetation success. Therefore, a study was conducted to determine how topsoil amendments (mycorrhizae, biochar, compost, manure) influence root‐associated fungal communities and growth of fast growing ...

Exo‐ and endophytic fungi enable rapid transfer of nutrients from ant waste to orchid tissue
New Phytologist, Volume 238, Issue 5, Page 2210-2223, June 2023., 2023 Summary The epiphytic orchid Caularthron bilamellatum sacrifices its water storage tissue for nutrients from the waste of ants lodging inside its hollow pseudobulb. Here, we investigate whether fungi are involved in the rapid translocation of nutrients.

Seasonal diversity & spaciotemporal distribution of fungal endophytes associated with the medicinal plant Coleus forskohlii Briq. [PDF]
, 2023 Fungi that colonize the healthy tissues of the plants without showing any disease symptoms in the host plants are termed as fungal endophytes. The presence of fungal endophytes provides a positive effect on the host’s growth & development and also ...

A fungal pathogen is unlikely to be the cause of abnormal vertical growth syndrome in macadamia
Plant Pathology, Volume 72, Issue 4, Page 731-741, May 2023., 2023 By comparing the fungal microbiome of healthy and abnormal vertical growth (AVG)‐affected macadamia trees, this study showed that fungal species are implausible to cause AVG in macadamia. Abstract Abnormal vertical growth (AVG) in macadamia is a syndrome that reduces flowering and alters tree architecture, resulting in significant yield losses.

Seed-borne diseases in pasture grasses and legumes: state of the art and gaps in knowledge [PDF]
, 2022 Information on fungal seed-borne diseases on main pasture grasses and legumes from the literature was reviewed. These diseases reduce biomass production, quality of forage, and persistence due to progressive plant mortality.

Chemical ecology of symbioses in cycads, an ancient plant lineage. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Cycads are an ancient lineage of gymnosperms that maintain a plethora of symbiotic associations from across the tree of life. They have myriad morphological, structural, physiological, chemical, and behavioral adaptations that position them as a unique system to study the evolution, ecology, and mechanism of symbiosis.
