Foliar pathogen epidemic slows decomposition of invasive plant litter
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Decomposition of plant litter, facilitated primarily by microbial decomposers, plays a critical role in biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem function. The rate of litter decomposition can determine its environmental impact, where accelerated decomposition alters the timing and rate of nutrient release and may promote nutrient leaching, whereas

Spatial Variation of Bacterial Communities on the Leaves of Southern Magnolia Trees [PDF]
, 2015 Bacteria are found in almost all environments on earth, including on the surface of other living things. Bacteria that exist on the leaves of plants (the phyllosphere) are of interest because of the potentially harsh nature of the environment they ...

Selection and orchard testing of antagonists suppressing conidia production of the apple scab pathogen Venturia inaequalis [PDF]
Apple scab caused by Venturia inaequalis is a major disease in apple production. Epidemics in spring are initiated by ascospores produced on overwintering leaves whereas epidemics during summer are driven by conidia produced on apple leaves by biotrophic

Strong potential of white cambodia (Plumeria acuminata) phyllosphere bacteria which inhibit Candida albicans growth [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesCandida albicans is the most common fungal species that infect humans. Over time pathogenic fungi can evolve to become more resistant to current antimicrobials. Therefore, the search for new antimicrobials needs to be carried out continuously.
