Colletotrichum species have diverse lifestyles, which can change from endophytic to pathogenic and other lifestyles such as saprobic. However, the exact mechanism of lifestyle changes is unknown. Over 20 Colletotrichum species cause citrus anthracnose worldwide and are also associated with the various Citrus species as endophytes in leaves, shoots, and fruits. The objective of this study was to explore the endophytic diversity...

Trichoderma species are well‐known biocontrol agents for many plant diseases. These species are also associated as endophytes in various hosts. In the present study, endophytic Trichoderma species were isolated from four Citrus species: Citrus reticulata , C. nobilis , C. tachibana , and C. maxima . Isolates were identified based on morphology and multigene phylogenetic analysis based on internal transcribed spacer regions of...

The Chinese Himalayas ( CH ) is highly sensitive to global climate change. The analyses of monthly mean air temperature and monthly precipitation data during the 1971–2007 from 24 meteorological stations show a significant increase of 0.31 °C per decade or about 1.15 °C for annual mean air temperature over the entire region. The temperature rise occurs primarily during the period of 1991–2007, up to 0.73 °C per decade. Climate...
