Pathogenic fungi have emerged as significant causes of infectious morbidity and death in
patients with acquired immunodeficiency conditions such as HIV/AIDS and following receipt …

Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) play many roles including defense against pathogens,
pests, and herbivores; response to environmental stresses, and mediating organismal …

The cryptic lifestyle of most fungi necessitates molecular identification of the guild in
environmental studies. Over the past decades, rapid development and affordability of …

In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

The role of rhizosphere microbiota in the resistance of tomato plant against soil-borne
Fusarium wilt disease (FWD) remains unclear. Here, we showed that the FWD incidence …

Background The global burden of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) has shown an upsurge in
recent years due to the higher load of immunocompromised patients suffering from various …

The development of high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies has greatly improved
our capacity to identify fungi and unveil their ecological roles across a variety of ecosystems …

Microplastic (MP) is a pervasive pollutant in nature that is colonised by diverse groups of
microbes, including potentially pathogenic species. Fungi have been largely neglected in …

BACKGROUND All vascular plants associate with fungi and bacteria—the microbiome. Root
associations with mycorrhizal fungi benefit most plants by enhancing their nutrient access …

High-throughput DNA sequencing has dramatically transformed several areas of biodiversity
research including mycology. Despite limitations, high-throughput sequencing is nowadays …
