Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Fungal Antimicrobial Resistance: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Global Clinical Burden
ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fungal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern for world health caused by an increase in multidrug‐resistant infections, an increase in environmental reservoirs, and the ineffectiveness of current antifungal treatments. Fungal infections continue to be largely excluded from AMR initiatives while causing over 1.6 million deaths ...

Functional diversity in nutrient acquisition by ectomycorrhizal fungi [PDF]
, 2008 Nutrient uptake by boreal forest trees depends upon the symbiotic ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi that colonise more than 95% of the fine roots. In these ecosystems, nitrogen (N) is the most important growth-limiting nutrient for plants, followed by ...

Ethylene-insensitive tobacco lacks nonhost resistance against soil-borne fungi [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998 Enhanced ethylene production is an early response of plants to pathogen attack and has been associated with both resistance and susceptibility to disease. Tobacco plants were transformed with the mutant etr1–1 gene from Arabidopsis , conferring dominant ethylene insensitivity. Besides lacking
