Navas Romero A.L., Herrera Moratta M.A., Fernández-Maldonado V., Martínez Carretero E., Mazza G. & Rodriguez R. (2024): Impact of soil biological crusts on the sustainability of arid ecosystems in central-western Argentina: their influence on nutrient dynamics and soil properties, Sustainability, 16: 10468 [22 p.]

Biological soil crusts (BSCs) are common in arid and semi-arid regions, found in vegetation patches and interpatches. However, their distribution, functionality, and composition studies are limited, especially in South America and Argentina. This study assessed the functional differences in BSCs between patches and interpatches focusing on their role as fertility islands. Sixty plots were analyzed at two sites, measuring the soil’s composition, diversity, and physical and chemical properties, … Read more...

Németh C. (2024): Contributions to the knowledge of the nectrioid bryophilous and lichenicolous fungi (Ascomycota, Hypocreales) of Hungary, Studia botanica hungarica, 55(1): 141–153

The study reports the discovery of three bryophilous and six lichenicolous species of nectrioid Sordariomycetes in Hungary. The bryophilous species Bryocentria brongniartii was found to be growing on Frullania dilatata, B. metzgeriae on Radula complanata and Metzgeria furcata, while Nectria muscivora on Barbula unguiculata and Didymodon cordatus. The lichenicolous species Paranectria oropensis was collected on Candelaria concolor, Physcia adscendens, Physconia enteroxantha and Melanelixia glabratula, … Read more...

Parul K. (2022): A review on past, present and future of ethnobotany in India, Journal of Pharmaceutical Negative Results, 13: 1602-1606

Ethnobotany was worked to incorporate plant concentrates as well as investigations of green growth, lichens, and parasites. It is firmly connected with the science of scientific classification, pharmacognosy, phytochemistry, environment, and preservation. So as to feature the therapeutic utilization of plants and there pharmacological angles, this article audits various ethnobotany messages and papers, and furthermore clarifies the extent of ethnobotany. It incorporates a concise survey of ethnobotany … Read more...

Ahti T. (1977): Lichens of the boreal coniferous zone. – In: Seaward, M. R. D. (ed.), Lichen ecology, London, New York, San Francisco: Academic Press, pp. 145–181

The boreal zone, spanning circumpolar regions in Eurasia and North America, is dominated by coniferous forests, with extensive areas of deciduous growth in Scandinavia, Kamchatka, and Canada. This region, integral to understanding lichen ecology, includes both latitudinal and altitudinal zones influenced by climatic and edaphic factors. Lichens are vital in boreal ecosystems, displaying diverse distributions and adaptations, but remain underexplored in vast areas of Siberia and Canada Read more...

Prieto M., Wedin M. & Schultz M. (2024): Phylogeny, evolution and a re-classification of the Lichinomycetes, Studies in Mycology, 109: 595–655

The Lichinomycetes is an independent lichenized lineage within the Ascomycota comprising ca. 390 species and 50 genera. Very few studies have dealt with family and genus classification using molecular data and many groups are in need of thorough revision. Thus, we constructed a multilocus phylogeny (mtSSU, RPB2 and mcm7 gene regions) including 190 specimens of Lichinomycetes belonging to 126 species. Ancestral state reconstruction analyses were carried out to trace the evolution of selected characters. … Read more...

May T.W., Bensch K., Groenewald J.Z., Houbraken J. & Rossman A.Y. (2024): XII International Mycological Congress: report of Congress action on nomenclature proposals relating to fungi, IMA Fungus, 15: 36 [8 p.]

Procedures, appointments and outcomes of the Fungal Nomenclature Session (FNS) of the XII International Mycological Congress (IMC12) are summarized, including the composition of the Fungal Nomenclature Bureau and the Nominating Committee of the IMC. Between 124 and 322 mycologists attended the three sessions of the FNS, at which formal proposals to amend Chapter F of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants were debated. The 15 proposals considered included eight "from … Read more...

Song H., Kim K.-T., Park S.-Y., Lee G.-W., Choi J., Jeon J., Cheong K., Choi G., Hur J.-S. et Lee Y.-H. (2022): A comparative genomic analysis of lichen-forming fungi reveals new insights into fungal lifestyles, Scientific Reports, 12: 10724

Lichen-forming fungi are mutualistic symbionts of green algae or cyanobacteria. We report the comparative analysis of six genomes of lichen-forming fungi in classes Eurotiomycetes and Lecanoromycetes to identify genomic information related to their symbiotic lifestyle. The lichen-forming fungi exhibited genome reduction via the loss of dispensable genes encoding plant-cell-wall-degrading enzymes, sugar transporters, and transcription factors. The loss of these genes reflects the symbiotic biology … Read more...
