In light of the detrimental consequences of climate change and global warming, drought (water deficit) has emerged as a major abiotic stressor that adversely affects plant development, productivity, and sustainable agriculture globally. Vicia faba L. (faba bean), a highly nutritious leguminous crop, is especially vulnerable to water scarcity.

This study aims to investigate the colonization and diversity of endophytic fungi in Amomum villosum roots across different planting locations and at various growth ages, and to analyze the fungal composition. In this study, we performed Illumina-based ITS sequencing to investigate the effects of growth ages and sample plots on the rhizosphere fungi of A. villosum.

Humans have changed ecosystems on Earth in a myriad of different ways including the input of lethal levels of toxic compounds in habitats forcing organisms to adapt or die. New environmental challenges select for different adaptive traits and species communities; however, in historically poorly characterised taxa and communities, such as the fungi, it is a challenge to know exactly what these changes are. In this chapter, we summarise our knowledge of fungi adapting to polluted environments by compiling a broad-stroke review.

Drought, a major consequence of global environmental change, poses a serious threat to both natural and agricultural ecosystems. Root-associated fungi, particularly the widely distributed dark septate endophytes (DSE), are key components of the plant microbiome and can influence host plant performance in various ways. We conducted two manipulative experiments using two model DSE species from a semiarid habitat to investigate their effects on a non-mycorrhizal host plant (cabbage) under both normal and reduced water supply conditions.
