Legacies of consecutive summer droughts on soil‐borne plant parasitic protists (Oomycota: Stramenopila and Phytomyxea: Rhizaria) and protistan consumers (Cercozoa: Rhizaria) along an experimental plant diversity gradient
Abstract
Increasing frequencies of severe summer droughts and plant diversity loss disrupt ecosystem functioning and stability of European grasslands. Understanding how these factors interact with pathogens is crucial. We investigated the effect...

Effects of recurrent summer droughts on arbuscular mycorrhizal and total fungal communities in experimental grasslands differing in plant diversity and community composition
Abstract
Biodiversity loss and climate change have been determined as major global drivers affecting ecosystems and their functioning. In this context, drought was shown to have negative effects on ecosystems by disrupting ecological processes, ...

Plant diversity influences plant volatile emission with varying effects at the species and community levels
Abstract
Significance Plant volatiles are key info-chemicals mediating plant–environment interactions, but their role in biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships remains unknown. Using an experimental grassland, we studied how plant dive...

Phylogenetic and Gene Expression of Norsolorinic Acid Analysis of Aflatoxigenic Strains and Quantification of Aflatoxin B1 Levels into White Rice Grains in Kenya
Abstract
The most important pathogens of global significance in food security are mycotoxigenic fungi. Aflatoxigenic strains contamination in rice grains can lead to a health risk for consumers. Under appropriate conditions, aflatoxigenic fungi ...
