Most isolates performed well in in vitro antagonistic assays, inhibiting by 54–59% the growth of seven plant pathogens: <i>Bipolaris sorokiniana</i>, <i>Fusarium graminearum</i>, <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i>, <i>Pythium irregulare</i>, two different isolates of <i>W. circinata</i> and <i>Sclerotium rolfsii</i>. The most inhibited pathogen was <i>P. irregulare</i> (72.6%), followed by <i>S. rolfsii</i> (66.7%) and <i>W. circinata</i> (~ 65%). There was no evidence of mycoparasitism. Their capacity for chitinase, cellulase, protease and ligninase (laccase, Mn-peroxidase and lignin-peroxidase) secretion was evaluated. Most of the isolates tested positive for chitinase activity. All the evaluated <i>W. arvalis</i> isolates produced cellulase, protease and laccase activities, and some of them also rendered positive results for Mn-peroxidase and decolorized the dye Azure B. Isolates INTA-L003 and INTA-L005 displayed top results for cellulase activity (both in carboxymethylcellulose plate assay and in filter paper tube assay). These activities might be responsible for their better antagonistic behavior on <i>Pythium</i> sp. Thus, these isolates are promising as biocontrol agents and as sources of new enzymes for industrial applications.

Hence, we compared eight streams inside with eight streams outside of a protected area. This is one of the first studies testing the biotic homogenisation hypothesis for fungi associated with leaf litter in streams. We found new records of fungal species from a global biodiversity hotspot. The gamma diversity of aquatic fungi was surprisingly high.

Since the discovery and description of new species are ongoing, the proportion of undescribed species can be considerable and the taxonomy of the genus goes often through changes. The taxonomy of the genus <em>Tuber</em> would therefore benefit from a periodic review. <em>Tuber</em> species described in Europe in recent decades include <em>Tuber regianum</em>, <em>T. bernardinii</em> and <em>T. magentipunctatum</em>. The common characteristics of these three species are the relatively small-sized spores with alveolate-reticulate ornamentation, a high number of spores per ascus (most frequently 6–8 spores) and small-sized ascomata with a verrucose-papillate or smooth surface. The present study aimed at examining the morphology and ecology of the three species, and providing a detailed taxonomic description of the Regianum clade using a multilocus phylogenetic analysis. In addition to this, we examined whether the apparently plesiomorphic morphological character states of this phylogenetically basal clade are the result of the conservation of ancestral character states. Our results show that in the case of certain morphological traits of the Regianum clade, the apparently plesiomorphic character states are indeed retained ancestral states, while in others, they are convergently reappeared ones.

Precise morphological examinations along with phylogenetic analyses, including type collections and other representative samples, are needed to solve the complexity of <i>Erysiphe</i> spp. on legumes. In this study, we sequenced a number of collections of powdery mildews on <i>Pisum</i>, <i>Lathyrus</i>, <i>Vicia</i> and <i>Ononis</i> spp., with a special focus on specimens from Iran, to clarify species delimitations within the <i>Erysiphe pisi</i> complex and other <i>Erysiphe</i> species complexes on legumes.

Results revealed that biopriming enhanced the root lignification, IAA, and ACCD, assisting more soil volume exploration (PVI) for better N and K acquisitions. Biopriming increased the plant biomasses which ultimately, led to more seed yield than untreated soybeans, receiving even higher N-K doses. The PVI correlated well with root volume (<i>r</i>² = 0.95; <i>P</i> &lt; 0.01), explaining good soil-nutrient foraging by bioprimed soybeans.
