The seed production of the rare species Gueldenstaedtia monophylla has been investigated in 19 coenotic populations territories Russia (Central Altai) and Mongolia (the north-western part). G. reproduces exclusively by seeds is characterized low number density plants populations. Its have a high proportion generative plants: from 31 to 84% total plants. small shoots, varying 1 6 per plant. flow...

The biology and ecology of many Entoloma species is still poorly known as well as their geographical distribution. In Italy, there are no studies on the influence of weather on fungal abundance and richness and our knowledge on the ecology and distribution of Entoloma species needs to be improved. The discovery of two Entoloma species in Sicily (southern Italy), reported in the literature as be...

PALAVRAS-CHAVE Irrigação Distribuição Gama Uso da água ABSTRACT: The occurrence, distribution of rainfall and the knowledge of crop water demand are essentials to irrigation planning. Thus, the determination of probable rainfall can contribute substantially to suitable irrigation projects. This work aimed to determine the probable rainfall for Uberlândia, Minas Gerais state, Brazil, in order to...

Fruiting initiation in mushrooms can be triggered by a variety of environmental and biochemical stimuli, including substances of natural or synthetic origin. In this work ostreolysin, a cytolytic protein specifically expressed during the formation of primordia and fruit bodies of Pleurotus ostreatus, was applied to nutrient media inoculated with mycelium of P. ostreatus, and its effects on myce...

Bacteria were isolated from the mycelial surface of Pleurotus ostreatus and their role in fruiting body induction (fructification) of the edible mushroom P. ostreatus was investigated. Analysis of the bacterial community that colonized the mycelium showed that the species composition and numbers of culturable bacteria differed according to the developmental stage of P. ostreatus. In particular,...
