Soil microbiome has a pivotal role in ecosystem functioning, yet little is known about its build-up from local to regional scales. In multi-year regional-scale survey involving 1251 plots and long-read third-generation sequencing, we found that soil pH the strongest effect on diversity of fungi multiple taxonomic functional groups. The effects were typically unimodal, usually both direct indirect through tree species, nutrients or mold abundance. Individual particularly Pinus sylvestris,...
Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However, compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns conservation needs of fungi have been little explored. Here, we examined endemicity patterns, global change vulnerability priority areas for functional groups soil based on six surveys using a high-resolution, long-read metabarcoding approach. We found that all most peaks in tropical habitats, including Amazonia, Yucatan, West-Central...
How the multiple facets of soil fungal diversity vary worldwide remains virtually unknown, hindering management this essential species-rich group. By sequencing high-resolution DNA markers in over 4000 topsoil samples from natural and human-altered ecosystems across all continents, we illustrate distributions drivers different levels taxonomic phylogenetic fungi their ecological groups. We show impact precipitation temperature interactions on local species richness (alpha diversity)...
Abstract Partner specificity is a well‐documented phenomenon in biotic interactions, yet the factors that determine plant‐fungal associations remain largely unknown. By utilizing composite soil samples, we identified predictors drive partner both plants and fungi, with particular focus on ectomycorrhizal associations. Fungal guilds exhibited significant differences overall preference avoidance, richness, to specific tree genera. The highest level of was observed root endophytic associations,...
Summary Mushroom‐forming fungi are important sources of food and medicine in many regions the world, their development health known to depend on various microbes. Recent studies have examined structure mushroom‐inhabiting bacterial (MIB) communities association with local environmental variables, but global‐scale diversity determinants these remain poorly understood. Here we MIB global community composition relation climate, soil host factors. We found a core mushroom microbiome, accounting...
Fungi harbor diverse bacteria that engage in various relationships. While these relationships potentially influence fungal functioning, their underlying genetic mechanisms remain unexplored. Here, we aimed to elucidate the key genomic features of fungus-associated (FaB) by comparing 163 FaB genomes 1,048 bacterial from other hosts and habitats. Our analyses revealed several distinctive FaB. We found are enriched carbohydrate transport/metabolism- motility-related genes, suggesting an...
A dual in vitro regeneration system consisting of indirect organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis (SE), applicable to several varieties tomato—Solanum lycopersicum (cv. Riogrande, cv. Roma, hybrid 17905 model M82) has been established. This is both improved highly reproducible compared current methods. Callus initiation, plant SE was developed for one-week-old cotyledon explants. Indirect via callus induction (CI) all four tomato used this study. One-week-old seedlings were as a source...
Increasing evidence suggest that bacteria form diverse communities in various eukaryotic hosts, including fungi. However, little is known about their succession and the functional potential at different host development stages. Here we examined effect of fruiting body parts developmental stages on structure function fungus-associated bacterial communities. Using high-throughput sequencing, characterized associated functions bodies from ten genera belonging to four major mushroom-forming...
Summary Fungi play pivotal roles in ecosystem functioning, but little is known about their global patterns of diversity, endemicity, vulnerability to change drivers and conservation priority areas. We applied the high-resolution PacBio sequencing technique identify fungi based on a long DNA marker that revealed high proportion hitherto unknown fungal taxa. used Global Soil Mycobiome consortium dataset test relative performance various depth standardization methods (calculation residuals,...
Bacterial and fungal endophytes form diverse communities contribute to the performance health of their host plants. Recent evidence suggests that both host-related factors environmental conditions determine community structure plant endophytes. However, we know little about distribution patterns underlying assembly mechanisms across compartments. Here, analyzed bacterial associated with tree compartments as well soils 12 individuals in boreal forests. We found depends more strongly on...
Two new species of Trichoglossum are described from south Mexico based on morphological and molecular evidence. Trichoglossumcaespitosum is characterized by the caespitose ascomata, rough coiled paraphyses ascospores with 9-11 septa. Trichoglossumtropicale capitate clavate straight 10-12 Both grow in tropical forests Yucatán peninsula. Here we provide descriptions photographs for these species, together a phylogenetic analyses DNA sequences nuc rDNA (ITS region 28S gene) comparative table...
Abstract An improved and highly reproducible system for invitro regeneration via somatic embryogenesis (S.E), applicable to several varieties of tomato (cv. Riogrande , cv. Roma grande hybrid 17905 model M82) has been developed. First, we developed a conventional indirect organogenesis all four used in this study. The cotyledons hypocotyls 6-day-old were as explants (1-2 cm) callus induction (CI) on different media (CIM) T 0 – 12 (6-Benzylaminopurine BAP, NAA Naphthalene acetic acid, ZEA...
To document sequestrate fungal diversity in American tropical regions, we performed a series of field surveys southeastern Mexico and discovered two new species the phalloid genus Restingomyces (Trappeaceae, Phallales). Here, describe them based on morphological phylogenetic analyses mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) subunit 6 nuc 28S rDNA. guzmanianus is characterized by brownish peridium, yellowish brown gleba, ellipsoid basidiospores, whereas R. yaaxtax white pale green...
Partner specificity is a well-known phenomenon in biotic interactions, but little known about and abiotic factors that determine plant-fungal associations. Using PacBio sequencing of soils from monospecific mixed forest stands, we determined the predictors driving partner both ectomycorrhizal plants fungi. Fungal guilds differed strongly patterns preference avoidance, to particular tree genera. Specialist fungi dominated belowground communities, most species preferred one their trees -...
Limited knowledge exists about the residing microbiome in gamete-related samples fish. A potential effect between seminal composition and sperm quality traits has been previously suggested humans livestock. Using a metabarcoding approach, we aimed to gain insights into structure of prokaryotes microbial eukaryotes ovarian fluid (n = 10) milt 84) from farmed Arctic charr - species with highly variable reproductive success captivity. In addition, were recorded on sampled males investigate...
