Trichothecium pseudoroseum sp. nov. is described from Yunnan Province, China, and Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Pakistan, based on morphological characteristics and multigene phylogenetic analyses. It is distinguished by its conidiophores, which arise directly from the substrate, are unbranched, solitary, long, slender, septate, slightly curved, smooth‐walled, and hyaline; the conidiogenous cells are smooth, hyaline, located at the ap...

A new species, Coprinellus nigrolamellatus , is described hereby from the Buner District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan. The species is distinguished based on both morphological features and molecular data, with nrITS sequences confirming its unique status. Coprinellus nigrolamellatus is characterized by small‐ to medium‐sized basidiomata; an applanate and grayish‐brown pileus with yellowish orange central disk; adnexe...

Key message Haplotype-based nested association mapping conducted in Australian barley identified 30 haploblocks for resistance/susceptibility to net form of net blotch. Stacking multiple resistance haplotypes significantly reduced disease severity. Abstract Net form net blotch (NFNB), caused by Pyrenophora teres f. teres , is a major fungal disease affecting barley, leading to significant yield losses globally. Improving the s...

Key message Duckweeds offer a suitable platform to study the effects of elevated temperatures on aquatic plants, and chlorophyll fluorescence imaging can reveal frond-level distribution of temperature stress. Abstract Temperature rise associated with climate change poses a major challenge for aquatic plants. It has a strong influence on their physiological performance and, consequently, their competitive ability and fitness. Y...
