The evolutionary origins of streptophyte multicellularity

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2365-2383, September 2026.
The phylogeny of streptophytes and the deep origin of branching filamentous growth. Summary Over their more than 1 billion years of evolutionary history, streptophytes have repeatedly transitioned between unicellular, simple multicellular and complex multicellular forms.

Two glycoside hydrolases decompose the sporangium matrix to release spores during sporangium dehiscence in Actinoplanes missouriensis

mBio
The actinomycete Actinoplanes missouriensis grows as a substrate mycelium and forms terminal sporangia containing a few hundred spores surrounded by an unidentified matrix called the sporangium matrix.

Changes to Skin Microbiome Community Dynamics Support Resistance to Enzootic and Epizootic Strains of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) in the Spotted Salamander (Ambystoma maculatum)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Global spread of animal pathogens has contributed to species declines and extinctions. In regions where a particular disease is enzootic, pathogen inhibition may arise through protection provided by host‐associated microbiomes. Amphibians skin microbiomes can inhibit growth of the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), preventing

A fungal pathogen of amphibians, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, attenuates in pathogenicity with in vitro passages. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Laboratory investigations into the amphibian chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), have accelerated recently, given the pathogen's role in causing the global decline and extinction of amphibians.

Salamander–Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans Interactions Through Dual Transcriptomics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Using dual transcriptomics, this study reveals how salamanders defend against an emerging pathogen and how the pathogen infects multiple hosts, uncovering a novel calmodulin‐mediated virulence pathway. These mechanistic insights connect molecular responses to host susceptibility, advancing our understanding of the potential impacts of disease on ...

A Reliable Method for Phytophthora cajani Isolation, Sporangia, Zoospore Production and in Planta Infection of Pigeonpea

Bio-Protocol, 2016
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.) is an important legume crop of rainfed agriculture. High levels of protein in pigeonpea make it a valuable protein source for developing countries. Phytophthora blight caused by Phytophthora cajani (P.

Fungal disease management in cotton using plant protection products: An Australian perspective

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6010-6023, July 2026.
Cotton disease management requires evidence‐driven use of plant protection products. Progress hinges on integrating chemistry, diagnostics, stewardship and sustainability to build resilient production systems. Abstract Cotton production faces persistent challenges from pathogens that compromise plant establishment, yield, and fibre quality.

Environmental detection of the amphibian chytrid fungus in water bodies is associated with host infection along a deforestation gradient

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Linking environmental pathogen detection with host infection patterns can improve surveillance of diseases involving environmental transmission, particularly where direct host sampling is logistically challenging. This approach enables the identification of areas of elevated transmission risk and supports targeted monitoring and management under ...

Fungal infection intensity and zoospore output of Atelopus zeteki, a potential acute chytrid supershedder.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Amphibians vary in their response to infection by the amphibian-killing chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Highly susceptible species are the first to decline and/or disappear once Bd arrives at a site.

Replace, reduce, refine: A review of animal use in Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans research

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Animal experimentation is common in wildlife disease research. Understanding the impact of this often‐lethal approach is therefore a critical line of inquiry at the intersection of animal welfare and conservation biology. The discovery of the pathogenic salamander chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) in 2013 ignited a large ...
