Assessing fungal–mineral interactions in soil: A review of microscale methods

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Biological weathering of minerals has profoundly transformed Earth over geologic time by driving soil formation, nutrient cycling, and long‐term biogeochemical processes. Among soil biota, fungi are increasingly recognized as key yet obscure drivers of weathering through their unique hyphal growth forms, metabolic capabilities, and symbiotic ...

The Zn(II)2Cys6 transcription factor DsAce3 is a major activator of cellulases in the white-rot fungus Dichomitus squalens

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Plant biomass degradation by fungal extracellular enzymes is tightly controlled at the transcriptional level, enabling fungi to respond to the complex and variable composition of plant cell wall.

Urbanization Effects on the Community Structure of Saproxylic Arthropods in Warm‐Temperate Japan

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study examined saproxylic arthropod communities in various landscapes, ranging from large to fragmented urban forests, and compared the structure and composition of these communities. The results showed that communities could be classified into three types based on species composition and that arthropod community types were correlated with forest ...

Sedimentary Ancient DNA Tracks Multi‐Kingdom Ecosystem Reorganizations Following Sequential Human Land Use at Crawford Lake

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 17, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Crawford Lake has an exceptional stratigraphic record that began recording biannual (varved) sedimentation in the lake basin ~750 years ago, preserving evidence of shifting cultural zones and agricultural practices, from Late Woodland Period Indigenous agriculturalists to the impacts of industrialization during the late 19th century.

The Conserved Guanyl‐Specific Ribonuclease T1 Effector EC19 Is Required for Full Virulence of the Vascular Wilt Fungus Fusarium oxysporum on Tomato

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
EC19, a secreted ribonuclease T1 effector from Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol), is required for tomato wilt virulence. EC19‐overexpressing tomato lines display increased susceptibility to Fol and altered transcriptional changes associated with plant hormone signal transduction, plant–pathogen interaction, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis ...

Systematic Identification and Functional Characterisation of Colletotrichum fructicola Effectors During Camellia oleifera Colonisation

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Five novel effectors were identified in Colletotrichum fructicola required for full virulence. They suppress host immunity, modulate antioxidant enzymes and reprogramme metabolism in Camellia oleifera, providing targets for anthracnose control. ABSTRACT Camellia oleifera is an important woody oil crop in southern China, but its production is severely ...

Detecting Chestnut Ink Diseases Through the Dog's Sense of Smell: From Laboratory to Forest

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Canine olfactory abilities were used to distinguish chestnut ink disease caused by Phytophthora spp. A trained detection dog, conditioned with polymer tubes carrying pathogen‐derived volatile organic compounds (VOCs), first detected Phytophthora‐infected roots under controlled conditions and then in chestnut orchards, demonstrating a non‐invasive ...
