Introduction Despite their potential benefits, it is not well understood how the application of biostimulants influences soil biological properties and microbial communities in field conditions. In this study, we aimed to evaluate impacts on physicochemical relevant health. Materials Methods To achieve this, conducted a study investigate effects two types commercially available biostimulants, U...

Phytoremediation using Miscanthus is a valuable technique for the restoration of saline-alkaline soil, but potential not quantified. To assess this potential, 5 years field experiment was conducted on soils with three genotypes and an unplanted control. The bulk soil (0–20-cm depth) physicochemical properties were measured annually from 2015 to 2018, while bacterial fungal community structures ...

Endophytic fungi from three commonly found seagrasses in southern Thailand were explored for their ability to produce antimicrobial metabolites. One hundred and sixty endophytic fungi derived from Cymodoceaserrulata (Family Cymodoceaceae), Halophilaovalis and Thalassiahemprichii (Family Hydrocharitaceae) were screened for production of antimicrobial compounds by a colorimetric broth microdiluti...

Dryland communities may mitigate the loss of limited resources by exchanging nutrients through subterranean fungal connections, termed loops. In arid grasslands, loops can influence community composition and primary productivity, yet their ecological significance across dryland systems remains unexplored. We investigated functional role in nutrient translocation a North American shrubland ecosy...

A new pleosporalean family Tetraplosphaeriaceae is established to accommodate five new genera; 1) Tetraplosphaeria with small ascomata and anamorphs belonging to Tetraploa s. str., 2) Triplosphaeria characterised by hemispherical ascomata with rim-like side walls and anamorphs similar to Tetraploa but with three conidial setose appendages, 3) Polyplosphaeria with large ascomata surrounded by br...

Artemisia is a plant genus highly studied for its medicinal applications. The studies on the associated fungal endophytes are scarce. Ten plants specimens of Artemisia thuscula from Tenerife and La Palma were sampled to isolate the endophytic fungi. Identification of the endophytic fungi was based on morphology, Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) and Large Subunit (LSU) regions sequencing and in...
