Abstract:
... Two Phyllactinia species have been associated with powdery mildew on leaves of ash trees (Fraxinus) in Eurasia, Phyllactinia fraxinicola U. Braun & H.D. Shin from Southeast Asia and Phyllactinia fraxini (DC.) Fuss from Europe. Non-native ash trees are planted in urban greeneries in both Europe and Southeast Asia, but so far, the two Phyllactinia species have not been reported from the same area. O ...

Abstract:
... The recent phenomenon of large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs) is associated with what has been described as a global agrarian transition. New forms of land exploitation and concentration have led to profound socio-environmental transformations of rural production systems in Latin America, South-East Asia and Sub Saharan Africa. Scholars have pointed out that the expansion of transnational land in ...

Abstract:
... Talaromyces marneffei is an important pathogenic thermally dimorphic fungus causing systemic talaromycosis mainly prevalent in Southeast Asia. The dimorphic transition between mycelium and yeast is considered crucial for the pathogenicity of T. marneffei. However, the lack of genetic toolbox has been a major impediment for understanding its pathogenicity. Here a CRISPR-Cas9 system was developed to ...

Historical vegetation studies have been of limited use in total aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation because they only report incomplete data consisting of tree diameter‐class distributions or plot‐level summaries, rather than data on each tree individual. To address this issue, we assessed an existing method (ST‐n) and developed three new methods (ST‐p, PL‐n and PL‐p) for estimating total AGB usi ...
