“…Several distinct yeast species were isolated from the rice phyllosphere using foldscope (Gulabpuri, 2019). Microbes thrive in the aerial parts of living plants, which include stems, leaves, buds, flowers, and fruits (Gurjar & Kanade, 2020) (Figure 2d), and their presence has a substantial influence on agricultural crop production and quality (Chowdary & Reddy, 2020). As the result, agricultural crops samples were processed and examined using a low‐cost microscope for phyllosphere microbes.…”

Microscope is a device used for the visualization of tiny objects which are not visible to the naked eye. Traditional microscopes have been crucial for the advancement of contemporary science and medicine. Recent advancements in the field of microscopy have fueled its exponential growth rate. However, due to their expensive cost and complicated structure, modern microscopes remain inaccessible to the majority of the public. Nonetheless, the foldscope paper microscope has made it possible for anyone to explore and understand the world of microbes and organisms. In this review, we have listed foldscope-based research projects in various domains, as well as their key properties when compared to traditional research microscopes. In addition, we have briefly explored the impact of a foldscope microscope on public health, clinical diagnostics, forensic science, agriculture, basic science, developmental biology, and education. Moreover, the major drawbacks of paper microscopes and the current steps being taken to upgrade foldscope and its features are discussed in this review. Finally, we have concluded with our perspective that the microscope may be updated to imitate the advancement of a conventional microscope. Research Highlights• The foldscope, a low-cost instrument for studying the microscopic world.• Foldscope applications were compared to conventional microscopes in many sectors.• The foldscope microscope's existing limitations and potential prospects are highlighted.

“…Climate change and the exponential increase in global trade represent challenges for phytosanitary authorities due to the threat of new pathogens entering their territories [ 3 ]. Currently, the global trade of plant products faces significant phytosanitary challenges, among which those related to plant pathogenic fungi stand out due to the economic losses they generate, to the extent of threatening global food security [ 3 , 4 , 5 ].…”

The Need and Opportunity to Update the Inventory of Plant Pathogenic Fungi and Oomycetes in Mexico

Mexico generates specific phytosanitary regulations for each product and origin to prevent the entry of quarantine pests and/or delay their spread within the national territory, including fungi and oomycetes. Phytosanitary regulations are established based on available information on the presence or absence of these pathogens in the country; however, the compilation and precise analysis of reports is a challenging task due to many publications lacking scientific rigor in determining the presence of a taxon of phytosanitary interest in the country. This review evaluated various studies reporting the presence of plant pathogenic fungi and oomycetes in Mexico and concluded that some lists of diseases and phytopathogenic organisms lack technical-scientific basis. Thus, it highlights the need and presents an excellent opportunity to establish a National Collection of Fungal Cultures and a National Herbarium for obligate parasites, as well as to generate a National Database of Phytopathogenic Fungi and Oomycetes present in Mexico, supported by the combination of morphological, molecular, epidemiological, pathogenicity, symptom, and micrograph data. If realized, this would have a direct impact on many future applications related to various topics, including quarantines, risk analysis, biodiversity studies, and monitoring of fungicide resistance, among others.
