Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.ABSTRACT Soilborne fungal pathogens threaten food security, but limited knowledge of their population biology, including genetic variability and population structure, hinders the development of effective strategies to prevent crop losses. Rhizoctonia solani AG‐1 is a significant soilborne pathogen worldwide, divided into subgroups based on host range ...

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.Transcription factors UvBhlh1 and UvBhlh6 are essential for early infection and virulence in Ustilaginoidea virens. These two proteins form a heterodimer that cooperatively regulates downstream target genes during pathogenesis. ABSTRACT Ustilaginoidea virens is the causal agent of rice false smut, a devastating and globally widespread fungal disease ...

Wherefore the Magic? The Evolutionary Role of Psilocybin in Nature
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This study explores the evolutionary role of psilocybin, the psychedelic compound found in Psilocybe mushrooms. We provide the first experimental tests of defence and community‐level evidence for invertebrate responses to psilocybin‐producing fungi, revealing significant negative effects on invertebrate locomotion, development, and survival.

An acid-stable laccase from sclerotium rolfsii with potential for wool dye decolourization [PDF]
, 2003 The plant pathogen basidiomycete S. rolfsii secretes two laccases (SRL1 and SRL2) with molecular weights of 55 and 86 kDa, respectively. Laccase production was shown to be inducible by the addition of 2,5-xylidine to the cultural media.

Association of Fungal Secondary Metabolism and Sclerotial Biology [PDF]
, 2015 Fungal secondary metabolism and morphological development have been shown to be intimately associated at the genetic level. Much of the literature has focused on the co-regulation of secondary metabolite production (e.g., sterigmatocystin and aflatoxin ...

Preliminary evaluation of perennial forage legumes for organic farming in Finland [PDF]
, 2003 In 1998-2001 fourteen forage legume species were evaluated for their productivity in mixed organic swards. The aim was to find new alternatives for red clover. Medicago falcata produced the highest dry matter yield (about 11 000 kg/ha/year).
