Heterogeneous Lineages of DNA Transposons Encode a TET/JBP Dioxygenase in Fungi [PDF]
Epigenetic DNA modification is a key component of the defense system against invading nucleic acids such as transposons. TET/JBP dioxygenases oxidize 5-methylcytosine and lead to its replacement by cytosine in mammals.

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity [PDF]
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

The contribution of beneficial wheat seed fungal communities beyond disease‐causing fungi: Advancing heritable mycobiome‐based plant breeding [PDF]
Seeds serve as a conduit between generations, hosting specialized fungal communities influenced by the maternal plant and the environment. Understanding the functions of the wheat seed mycobiome could facilitate microbiome‐assisted breeding of climate‐resilient wheat varieties.

Colacogloea armeniacae sp. nov., a novel pucciniomycetous yeast species isolated from apricots.
A survey of yeasts associated with apricots was carried out in May 2019. Two strains isolated from two fresh apricots were identified as a novel species of the genus Colacogloea based on a multi locus phylogenetic analysis, and physiological and biochemical tests.

Molecular phylogeny suggests a single origin of insect symbiosis in the Pucciniomycetes with support for some relationships within the genus Septobasidium [PDF]
In the Pucciniomycetes, a class of fungi that includes the plant pathogenic rust fungi, insect parasitism is restricted to a single family, the Septobasidiaceae. The Septobasidiaceae form a variety of symbioses with scale insects and have remained largely unstudied since the 1930s.
