Cultivated Cretan mountain tea or Malotira ( L.) was found to be infected by and in the island of Crete. The authors provide the first molecular characterization of in Greece and the first report of Cretan mountain tea or Malotira as a host of species worldwide. In addition, was found infecting aloe (Andros island) and corn (Drama, North Greece) consisting the first reports of natural infection of these plants by in Europe. Furthermore, infection of corn by and soybean by (Drama, North Greece) are reported for the first time in Greece. Integrative taxonomical approach based on perineal pattern and EP/st ratio, as well as the region of the mitochondrial genome between the cytochrome oxidase subunit II () and 16S rRNA mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genes was used to differentiate species.

With ongoing global warming, increasing water deficits promote physiological stress on forest ecosystems with negative impacts on tree growth, vitality, and survival. How individual tree species will react to increased drought stress is therefore a key research question to address for carbon accounting and the development of climate change mitigation strategies. Recent tree-ring studies have shown that trees at higher latitudes will benefit from warmer temperatures, yet this is likely highly species-dependent and less well-known for more temperate tree species.

Herein, we applied DNA barcoding for the genetic characterization of subsp. (Lamiaceae; threatened local Cretan endemic plant) using seven molecular markers of cpDNA. Five fertilization schemes were evaluated comparatively in a pilot cultivation in Crete.

Human-induced biodiversity loss has been accelerating since the industrial revolution. The climate change impacts will severely alter the biodiversity and biogeographical patterns at all scales, leading to biotic homogenization. Due to underfunding, a climate smart, conservation-prioritization scheme is needed to optimize species protection.
