TL;DR: A novel high fidelity primer pair for TEF1α has potential as a supplementary DNA barcode with superior resolution to ITS, while TOPI and LNS2 are attractive for the Pucciniomycotina, for which universal primers for ribosomal subunits often fail.

TL;DR: Soil fungi play essential roles in ecosystems worldwide and have implications for the development of strategies to preserve them and the ecosystem functions they provide, and these findings constitute a major advance in understanding of the ecology of fungi.

TL;DR: This work is intended to provide the foundation for updating the ascomycete component of the “Without prejudice list of generic names of Fungi” published in 2013, which will be developed into a list of protected generic names.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used data from a global field survey and a nine-year field experiment to show that warmer temperatures increase the relative abundance of soil-borne potential fungal plant pathogens, and provided a global atlas of these organisms along with future distribution projections under different climate change and land-use scenarios.

TL;DR: Novel biotechnological approaches can provide effective tools to attract and maintain activities of crop beneficial microbiota that increase crop performance in terms of nutrient acquisition, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, resulting in an increased agricultural productivity and sustainability.
