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 …

Fungi are major ecological players in both terrestrial and aquatic environments by cycling
organic matter and channelling nutrients across trophic levels. High-throughput sequencing …

Abstract UNITE (https://unite. ut. ee) is a web-based database and sequence management
environment for molecular identification of eukaryotes. It targets the nuclear ribosomal …

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

TH 2 cells and innate lymphoid cells 2 (ILC2) can stimulate tumor growth by secreting pro-
tumorigenic cytokines such as interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-5, and IL-13. However, the …

Beneficial interactions between plant roots and rhizosphere microorganisms are pivotal for
plant fitness. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms controlling the feedback between …

Soil-borne pathogens pose a major threat to food production worldwide, particularly under
global change and with growing populations. Yet, we still know very little about how the soil …

Aridity, which is increasing worldwide because of climate change, affects the structure and
functioning of dryland ecosystems. Whether aridification leads to gradual (versus abrupt) …

True fungi (Fungi) and fungus-like organisms (eg Mycetozoa, Oomycota) constitute the
second largest group of organisms based on global richness estimates, with around 3 …

Wetland soils are the greatest source of nitrous oxide (N2O), a critical greenhouse gas and
ozone depleter released by microbes. Yet, microbial players and processes underlying the …
