Forest Tree Associated Bacterial Diffusible and Volatile Organic Compounds against Various Phytopathogenic Fungi

Microorganisms, 2020
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can potentially be used as an alternative strategy to control plant diseases. In this study, strain ST–TJ4 isolated from the rhizosphere soil of a healthy poplar was found to have a strong antifungal activity ...

Fungicidal Efficacy of Leaf Extracts From Khaya senegalensis (Desr.) A. Juss. Irrigated With Agricultural Drainage Water and Treated With Some Fertilizer Types

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
The extraction and analysis of K. senegalensis compounds for wood preservation. Air‐dried leaves are milled, soaked in ethanol, filtered, and concentrated into dried extracts. These extracts undergo HPLC for chemical profiling. The concentrated extract is applied to wood samples to test its antifungal activity, demonstrating its potential as a natural ...

Two New Penicillium Species Penicillium Dongtaiense Sp. Nov and Penicillium Yanchengense sp. nov., Isolated From a Poplar Plantation in China

, 2021
Abstract Studies on the degradation of plant cell wall polysaccharides by fungal extracellular enzymes have attracted much recent attention. In this study, dozens of fungus species spanning genera were isolated from rotting leaves based on their ability to decompose xylan.

Unearthing Forest History: Integrating Soil Charcoal Macrofossils and Pollen Reveals Delayed Forest Responses to Holocene Climatic Transitions in Boreal–Temperate Ecotone

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study reconstructs long‐term vegetation dynamics at the boreal–temperate forest ecotone in eastern Canada using soil charcoal, pollen records, and forest inventories. Results reveal a delayed expansion of thermophilous tree species and a late borealization of the landscape in relation to climate change, alongside recent stand‐scale shifts driven ...

Pangenome of Streptomyces sampsonii and Relatives Highlights Horizontal Gene Transfer and Secondary Metabolism in Environmental Adaptation and Ecological Significance

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study presents a chromosome‐level genome assembly of Streptomyces sampsonii and a pangenome analysis of 95 strains, revealing a highly expansive “open” pangenome. Our results highlight that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and accessory gene variations drive the evolution of secondary metabolism and environmental adaptation.

Characterization, Expression Profiling, and Functional Analysis of PtDef, a Defensin-Encoding Gene From Populus trichocarpa

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
PtDef cloned from Populus trichocarpa contained eight cysteine domains specific to defensins. Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis showed that PtDef was expressed in all tissues tested, with lower expression in ...

Hydrophilic Thiol‐Functionalized Silver Nanoparticles as Bio‐Stimulants in Quercus Pubescens Seedling Development

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 33, 1 September 2026.
Surface‐functionalized hydrophilic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs‐3MPS, where 3MPS = sodium 3‐mercapto‐1‐propanesulfonate) were synthesized and characterized. Colloidal AgNPs‐3MPS were tested on Quercus pubescens seedlings to link nanomaterial hydrophilicity and loading with plant responses. Results showed a dose‐dependent effects relevant for sustainable
