Abstract The ascomycetous fungus Cryphonectria carpinicola is typically found in its asexual form on the European hornbeam, and its sexual state has only recently been discovered in deadwood of different Carpinus species in Japan. Recently, this fungus has been added to the EPPO Alert List due to its increasing incidence in the EPPO region and a ...

Temporal and Ecological Factors Influencing Aquatic Hyphomycetes in a Tropical Headwater Stream
ABSTRACT Aquatic hyphomycetes are key decomposers in headwater streams, yet their temporal dynamics in tropical systems remain poorly understood due to the scarcity of long‐term studies. Here, we investigated the temporal variation of aquatic hyphomycete communities in a tropical Atlantic Forest stream over 5 years, evaluating the relative influence of

Endogenous RALF peptide function is required for powdery mildew host colonization
Model of RALF‐FER‐dependent effects on powdery mildew sporulation. Summary The receptor kinase FERONIA (FER) is a susceptibility factor for biotrophic powdery mildew fungal pathogens in Arabidopsis thaliana, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. FER is required for the perception of endogenous RAPID ALKALINIZATION FACTOR (RALF)

Three genotypes – a heat‐resistant maize (Zea mays), a heat‐susceptible maize, and a sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) variety – were grown to the V4 stage in growth chambers under optimal conditions or subjected to heat stress. Plants were grown in soil containing a complex microbial community, or in the same soil with a depleted microbiome.

Mitigating Black Pod Disease in Cocoa Plants: An Optimal Control and Cost‐Effectiveness Analysis
ABSTRACT Black pod disease (BPD), caused by Phytophthora species, continues to pose a significant threat to cocoa production, particularly in tropical regions where cocoa farming is a major economic activity. This study develops a deterministic compartmental model to understand the transmission dynamics of BPD and evaluate the impact of multiple ...

ABSTRACT Identifying the drivers of chronic stress is crucial for understanding its impact on mental health. Latent toxoplasmosis, a widespread parasitic infection, has been linked to various psychological changes. The Stress‐Coping Hypothesis proposes that at least some of these changes are consequences of chronic stress arising from the infection's ...
