Shrubs inhibit plant diseases by intercepting light in alpine meadows

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is disproportionately impacting mountain ecosystems, leading to widespread shrub expansion into alpine meadows. Shrub encroachment alters the albedo, carbon budget and warming rate in alpine grasslands, but it remains challenging to predict how shrub ...

Effects of applying Trichoderma asperellum to rice (Oryza sativa) on phytobiome and plant responses

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
We investigated the effect of dipping at transplanting or post‐transplanting spray application on the root‐associated microbiome or leaf epiphytes via amplicon sequencing, and on plant responses via RNA‐seq. Both root dipping and foliar application with Trichoderma asperellum spore suspension only had a limited impact on the leaf epiphytes and root ...

Allergic Sensitization to Inhalant Allergens in the Upper Respiratory Tract—the B Cell Side

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allergic diseases are on the rise worldwide, driven by respiratory epithelial barrier dysfunction that promotes sensitization to inhalant allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and fungal spores. These antigens trigger IgE‐mediated immune responses that lead to diseases such as allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma.

Response of Remote Tropical West Pacific Islands to Climate Variability: A Multiproxy Record From T‐Lake, Palau, Spanning the Early Holocene to Present

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lake sediments are natural archives of past environmental dynamics and how these systems have responded to past climate variability. Sediment geochemistry, governed by local geology and climate processes, is unique to each lake‐catchment and geochemical proxies must be validated for each study site.

Emergence of Ophidiomyces ophidiicola, Nannizziopsis barbatae and Paranannizziopsis in free‐ranging Australian reptiles

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Emerging fungal diseases pose a threat to reptiles globally. Increasing detections of onygenalean fungi, particularly Ophidiomyces ophidiicola, Nannizziopsis spp. and Paranannizziopsis spp. in clinically diseased free‐ranging reptiles, indicate likely ongoing spread within wild reptile populations.

A Walk in the Park: Influence of Natural Co‐Exposure to Grass Pollen and Fungal Spores on Nasal Mycobiome and Cytokine Responses

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
Volunteers stayed 3 h indoors and followed 1 h outdoors in a flowering meadow. Nasal mycobiome was analysed and aeroallergen content measured in nasal filters. Airborne fungal spores were quantified and fungal isolates were sequenced. Isolated fungal spores were used for stimulation of nasal epithelial cells.

Effect of Endophytic Fungi on Thrips tabaci Development and Population Dynamics

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are promising biocontrol agents because they colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically while inducing systemic resistance that negatively affects herbivorous insects. We investigated whether treatments with the endophytes Trichoderma harzianum and Beauveria bassiana in two onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.; Sturon and Red ...
