Abstract:
... Recently, it has been indicated that systematics is of no value to the traditional Chinese medicinal studies and industry of macrofungi. As a fungal taxonomist, I use three genera of the most famous medicinal macrofungi, viz. Sanghuangporus, Ganoderma and Ophiocordyceps, as examples to rebut this opinion. Generally, the well-established systematics are helpful in using correct Latin names for fung ...

This article reviews the first three ISFUSs and prospects for the future meetings. Although ISFUS was born as a small family organized meeting, since the first meeting, ISFUS has achieved great success, receiving very important research grants from FAPESP, FAPEG, and CAPES to b ...

Abstract:
... Stress is a normal part of life for fungi, which can survive in environments considered inhospitable or hostile for other organisms. Due to the ability of fungi to respond to, survive in, and transform the environment, even under severe stresses, many researchers are exploring the mechanisms that enable fungi to adapt to stress. The International Symposium on Fungal Stress (ISFUS) brings together ...

Near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) can be used for nondestructive, rapid, real-time detection in food safety; however, irregular sample topographies introduce variations in the spectral intensity that impair subsequent classification and inversion processes. In this study, the spectral variations in HSI images of peanut samples with irregular topographies were assessed via the classific ...

Abstract:
... The outcome of an interaction between a plant and a fungus or an oomycete, whether compatibility or incompatibility, is often determined in the hostile extracellular spaces and matrices of the apoplast. Indeed, for compatibility to occur, many plant-associated fungi and oomycetes must first neutralize the apoplast, which is both monitored by plant cell-surface immune receptors, and enriched in pla ...

Abstract:

However, bacterial endosymbionts, that is those living within fungal cells, may positively regulate host performance as their survival is often heavily dependent on host fitness. Contrary to this, bacteria t ...

In experimental research, SBR severity is estimated visually aided/trained by a standard area diagram (SAD) developed and validated during the mid‐2000s (Old SAD). In this study, we propose a new SAD set for ...
