WITHDRAWN: Systematics, ecology, and application of Helotiales: Recent progress and future perspectives for research with special emphasis activities within Japan

Genotype, Tannin Capacity, and Seasonality Influence the Structure and Function of Symptomless Fungal Communities in Aspen Leaves, Regardless of Historical Nitrogen Addition

“…Helotiales comprises a diverse array of fungi, encompassing numerous species that are yet to be formally described. These genera however have various lifestyles, many of which involve leaf and wood decay processes [92], and some species associated mainly with roots as endophytes act as facilitators of plant growth through promotion effects, while others exhibit pathogenic behavior [93]. Notably, within this order, Fraxinus excelsior stands out as a well-known pathogen responsible for inducing Ash dieback.…”

“…Notably, within this order, Fraxinus excelsior stands out as a well-known pathogen responsible for inducing Ash dieback. However, Helotiales is also recognized for its potential for pharmaceutical discoveries [93].…”

A Snapshot of the Microbiome of a Portuguese Abandoned Gold Mining Area

“…2024, 14, x FOR PEER REVIEW differential results across different areas, they are, thus, distinct from the ones fo Crognale and colleagues [29] and Gagnon and colleagues [35], where somewhat p dominances of Zygomycota and Basidiomycota were verified (i.e., frequently, the fu odiversity is not related to the concentrations of inorganic toxicants) [29], resp Nonetheless, the verified Ascomycota dominance is in accordance (at least to some with the data obtained by Gagnon and colleagues [34] while studying bulk soil, th sphere and plant roots from mine tailings in Québec (Canada). As for the addition representative genera, Helotiales are common in soils, fallen leaves, decaying w other organic matter [83], while Arxotrichum are common in soils [84], and their p (in addition to dominance in the control sample) can be considered somewhat e Furthermore, Mollisia and Mortierella have been commonly found in gold mining tailings [29,35], Starmerella has been highlighted to contain sophorolipids able of Pb removal [85] (that putatively can help their survival at these sites), while Ch riales are saprophytes commonly found in monuments and polluted environmen able to degrade pollutants and hydrocarbons (e.g., [86]). These are physiological teristics that may help explain their presence and dominance at these sites.…”

“…Nonetheless, the verified Ascomycota dominance is in accordance (at least to some degree) with the data obtained by Gagnon and colleagues [34] while studying bulk soil, the rhizosphere and plant roots from mine tailings in Québec (Canada). As for the additional most representative genera, Helotiales are common in soils, fallen leaves, decaying wood and other organic matter [83], while Arxotrichum are common in soils [84], and their presence (in addition to dominance in the control sample) can be considered somewhat expected. Furthermore, Mollisia and Mortierella have been commonly found in gold mining ores and tailings [29,35], Starmerella has been highlighted to contain sophorolipids able of Cd and Pb removal [85] (that putatively can help their survival at these sites), while Chaetothyriales are saprophytes commonly found in monuments and polluted environments, being able to degrade pollutants and hydrocarbons (e.g., [86]).…”
