Forest Type, Bark Wounding, and Tapping: Their Combined Influence on Bacteria Biota of Styrax Paralleloneurus in Natural and Community Forest.

Styrax paralleloneurus is a resin-producing tree native to Sumatra, Indonesia. This study investigated the effects of tapping, bark wounding and forest type on bacterial biota in the stem of styrax in natural and community forests. Amplicon metagenomic sequencing of the 16S rRNA region was deployed to identify the bacterial communities associated with tapped and untapped trees across various environmental and experimental conditions.

Mycobiome analysis of leaf, root, and soil of symptomatic oil palm trees ( Jacq.) affected by leaf spot disease.

Recently, attention has been shifting toward the perspective of the existence of plants and microbes as a functioning ecological unit. However, studies highlighting the impacts of the microbial community on plant health are still limited. In this study, fungal community (mycobiome) of leaf, root, and soil of symptomatic leaf-spot diseased (SS) oil palm were compared against asymptomatic (AS) trees using ITS2 rRNA gene metabarcoding.

Thermal Tolerance Data and Molecular Identification Are Useful for the Diagnosis, Control and Modeling of Diseases Caused by .

Several economically important diseases of forest trees and agricultural crops in many parts of the world have been linked to the ascomycete fungal pathogen . This study compared the growth rate of 41 isolates of sourced from different hosts and two countries (Nigeria and Papua New Guinea (PNG)) under six temperature levels (22 °C, 25 °C, 30 °C, 32 °C, 34 °C and 35 °C). Phylogenetic relationships were obtained from the analysis of their nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed sequence (ITS) data.
