Plant pathogenic fungi are a large and diverse assemblage of eukaryotes with substantial
impacts on natural ecosystems and human endeavours. These taxa often have complex and …

Scientific names are crucial in communicating knowledge about fungi. In plant pathology,
they link information regarding the biology, host range, distribution, and potential risk. Our …

In these times of rapidly changing climate, the science of detecting and modeling shifts in the
ranges of tree species is advancing of necessity. We briefly review the current state of the …

The development of a universal approach to the identification of fungi from the environment
is impeded by the limited number and narrow phylogenetic range of the named internal …

Data generated from next generation sequencing (NGS) will soon comprise the majority of
information about arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities. Although these …

Abstract Aspergillus, Penicillium and Talaromyces are diverse, phenotypically polythetic
genera encompassing species important to the environment, economy, biotechnology and …

The CO2 concentration in Earth's atmosphere may double during this century. Plant
responses to such an increase depend strongly on their nitrogen status, but the reasons …

This paper presents the performance of two eukaryotic genomic ribosomal regions, ITS1 and
ITS2, in describing fungal diversity in aerosol samples using amplicon-based High …

The Botryosphaeriales are amongst the most widespread, common and important fungal
pathogens of woody plants. Many are also known to exist as endophytes in healthy plant …

Forest decline in the northeastern United States has been linked to the effects of acid
deposition on soil nutrients. To test this link, we added a calcium silicate mineral to a paired …
