“…1). Differences between cultivatable epi-and endophytic assemblages (Santamaria and Bayman 2005;Osono 2008;Flessa and Rambold 2013;Zambell and White 2015) indicate that only part of the epiphytic fungi invades the leaves. This supports the idea that plants actively filter invading fungi (Vacher et al 2016) and explain why plants growing at the same location harbour different microbiomes (Espinosa-Garcia and Langenheim 1990;Peršoh 2013).…”

The ecological significance of fungi occurring asymptomatically inside living plant leaves is poorly understood. Given the broad saprotrophic potential of many endophytic fungi, we hypothesized that they persist in decaying litter for an extended period of time after leaf abscission. Fungal assemblages were assessed by highthroughput sequencing in autumn leaves of beech (Fagus sylvatica) and in the corresponding leaf litter in 388 samples from 22 beech forest plots in three widely distant regions of Germany. A considerable proportion of the leafendophytic fungi was also found in 1-year-old litter. Cooccurrence networks revealed that the fungi formed unstructured assemblages inside the living leaves, rather than well-structured communities. Previously endophytic fungi constituted an integral part of the fungal litter community and were by far the most active fungi in 1-year-old litter. We therefore consider these endophytic occurrences to represent transient stages. Composition of the aboveground microbiome appears therefore to be closely connected to the process of litter decomposition. Considering the respective linked fungal habitat will facilitate predicting nutrient and carbon cycling and storage in forest ecosystems as well as elucidating the ecology of leaf microbiomes.

In October 2020, sooty moulds were found covering the leaves of neem trees (Azadirachta indica) in Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, Brazil. Sooty moulds usually grow on honeydew secreted by insects. However, in this observation, insects were not visible on the sooty mould‐infected plants. Rather, the sooty mould grew on the host secretions. Inoculation was performed to confirm the ability of the fungus to grow on host nectaries. Based on the morphological features and phylogenetic analysis, Capnodium alfenasii was identified as the sooty mould agent. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the occurrence of this fungus on neem plants.

“…We recommend an approach that includes pairwise similarities, calculated by the BLAST standalone tool, and enables the comparison of different taxa with no need for a detailed alignment. The success of this approach was shown in Per soh et al (2010), Per soh & Rambold (2012), Flessa et al (2012) and Flessa & Rambold (2013).

Restriction fragment length polymorphism tools is an R application which supports a complete workflow of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), dealing with the problems which accompany analysis when PCR-RFLP is used in diversity studies. Large numbers of different RFLP samples obtained from multiple electrophoresis runs might lead to limitations or misidentifications due to the need for band matching in most existing software applications. Due to the common problem of variation in the density of bands (i.e. distances between bands or visual intensity) in the electropherograms, it is desirable to have options for handling samples with uncertain or faint bands. As a further step in the workflow, scientists often use DNA sequencing to identify individual genotypes, so that the use of specific software to combine these tasks might be helpful. With this background, we here present an application that supports a complete workflow, starting with the analysis of single species samples by PCR-RFLP, to PCR-RFLP genotype identification based on a reference data set and DNA sequencing followed by similarity analysis. RFLPtools is a freely available, platform-independent application which provides analysis functions for DNA fragment molecular weights (e.g. by RFLP analysis), including similarity calculations without the need for band matching. As it is written for the statistical software R, other statistical analyses might also be easily applied.
