Lecanicillium psalliotae is an entomopathogenic, mycoparasitical, and nematophagous fungus known to produce antibiotic and antifungal compounds. Here, we report the first 36-Mb draft genome sequence of L. psalliotae strain HWLR35. The draft genome contains 197 scaffolds and is predicted to have 11,009 protein-coding genes.

The antifungal activity and the chemical composition of essential oils (EOs) from some Mediterranean autochthonous plants were investigated against Malassezia pachydermatis, a fastidious opportunistic yeast usually involved in canine external otitis. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of Anthemis nobilis, Citrus limon, Citrus paradisi, Illicium verum, Lavandula hybrida, Mentha piperita, O...

In [8], Swinnerton-Dyer considered the proportion of twists of an elliptic curve with full 2-torsion that have 2-Selmer group of a particular dimension. Swinnerton-Dyer obtained asymptotic results on the number of such twists using an unusual notion of asymptotic density. We build on this work to obtain similar results on the density of twists with particular rank of 2-Selmer group using the na...

The overall impact that plant invasions have on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by plant-mediated effects and how these interact with environmental management factors is largely unknown. To address this, we report the of leaf removal waterlogging, either singularly or in combination, fluxes CO2 N2O associated invasive species Gunnera tinctoria. Both leaves without flooding resulted higher due to...
