The Culturable Mycobiome of Powdery Mildew‐Infected Plants
New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.Botanical gardens host diverse plant assemblages that provide valuable opportunities to study fungal biodiversity and plant–fungal interactions. Powdery mildews (Erysiphaceae) are common pathogens in these settings, yet little is known about how they co‐occur with culturable fungi present on infected leaves.

Responses of Root Microbiome and Metabolome Are Linked to Crop Disease Severity
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Plant microorganisms are an essential component of the host and perform critical functions in plant development and health. Emerging evidence shows that plants use their root exudates to recruit beneficial microbes that protect them against abiotic and biotic stresses, including diseases.

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT Drought is a major abiotic stress affecting crop yields worldwide. Similarly, organic practices have been reported to enhance soil health and microbial diversity, influencing crop growth and yield. Given its drought tolerance, spelt (Triticum spelta) has been proposed as a resilient alternative to wheat (Triticum aestivum).

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.A six‐week field trial in Australian sugarcane soil used metabarcoding, trait‐based analysis and structural equation modelling to test how vermicompost affects soil biodiversity, decomposition and nitrate leaching under tropical conditions. Vermicompost shifted bacterial community composition and accelerated decomposition, yet increased nitrate ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Birds, insects and air each host distinct fungal spore communities in a Japanese temperate forest; birds and insects act as selective vectors, while air provides maximal diversity. Our study highlights the importance of analysing multiple taxa to understand ecosystem‐level fungal spore dispersal and interactions.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract All plant organs have the potential to harbor microbial communities and each organ may form unique niches for specialized microbial communities. There have been very few detailed investigations of microbiomes within a single plant organ along different developmental stages.
