In the work presented in silico DNA sequence and dendrogram analyses were carried out to reveal molecular diversity genetic distances among Rhytisma entries related species based on gene bank data mining. The study revealed that R. acerinum shows closest distance polare. nucleotide variation detected raised a need for consensus between Linnean morphological new systematics.

The number and prevalence of coral diseases/syndromes are increasing worldwide. Dark Spot Syndrome (DSS) afflicts numerous coral species and is widespread throughout the Caribbean, yet there are no known causal agents. In this study we aimed to characterise the microbial communities (bacteria and fungi) associated with DSS lesions affecting the coral Stephanocoenia intersepta using nonculture m...

Abstract Key message Comprehensive management of urban greenery is a key approach to control fungal diseases trees and shrubs avoid the deterioration in their health status. Preliminary investigations on status related growing four green squares Warsaw were conducted 2017–2019. The examined plants affected by that are commonly identified greenery, e.g., powdery mildew (causal agents: Sawadaea t...

Terrestrial plants are ideal sentinels of environmental pollution, due to their sedentary nature, abundance and sensitivity to atmospheric changes. However, reliable and sensitive biomarkers of exposure have hitherto been difficult to characterise. Biospectroscopy offers a novel approach to the derivation of biomarkers in the form of discrete molecular alterations detectable within a biochemica...
