“…However, there are some species which can grow on lignin, whose genomes encode lignin-oxidizing lacases and enzymes. Ascomycota thrive in dry meadow soils, whereas Basidiomycota prefer organic-rich soils [79,80,85,86]. Our study demonstrated significant differences in the proportions of Ascomycota and Mortierellomycota, which may be related to the soil environment stabilization, the impact of soil conditions, and the availability of the substrate used by these fungi.…”

“…Indeed, this phylum plays an important role in the carbon and nitrogen cycle, plant biomass degradation, and endophytic interactions with plants. Furthermore, Ascomycota species can form symbiotic associations or act as latent saprotrophs or pathogens living in plant tissues [85,86]. Challacombe et al [85] have reported that lignin degradation was mainly associated with Basidiomycota fungi, whereas Ascomycota are considered to be scarcely capable of breaking down lignin as they do not possess the genomes and oxidases responsible for its degradation.…”

The aim of this study was to assess how soil use and the cultivation of Triticum aestivum spp. vulgare L. (Sw), Triticum aestivum spp. spelta L. (Ww), Zea mays L. (M), and Brassica napus L. (Wr) impacts soil microbiota. This study consisted of a pot experiment over 120 days, until Vicia faba spp. minor seeds and pods reached the developmental stage of growth. This study showed that T. aestivum spp. vulgare L. grown in the soil sown with faba beans had a beneficial effect on the development of organotrophic bacteria, actinobacteria, and fungi. Regardless of the previous crop and soil cultivation method, r-strategists were found among the organotrophic bacteria and fungi, whereas K-strategists were found among the actinobacteria. All soils sown with faba beans were primarily colonized by bacteria belonging to the phylum Actinobacteriota (represented by the genus Cellulosimicrobium) and fungi belonging to the phylum Ascomycota. In the soil sown with field faba beans from the cultivation of Sw and Wr, the soil was dominated by Mortierella genus fungi; that of Ww was dominated by Cladosporium, and that of M was dominated by Alternaria. The results of this study provide new insights into the influence of previous crops and further cropping with faba bean on the quantitative and qualitative composition of the soil microbiota.

“…Three soil subsamples were collected at a depth of 0–10 cm after litter removal, observing 1 m distance from the central tree in three directions at 120° angles. After the visible stones and roots were removed, all five individual subsamples were homogenized to a single sample (Qu et al, 2022 ). Care was taken during tree selection to maintain at least a 10 m distance from nontarget tree species, and each targeted tree was located farther than 20 m from the forest edge.…”

The soil fungal community plays an important role in forest ecosystems and is crucially influenced by forest secondary succession. However, the driving factors of fungal community and function during temperate forest succession and their potential impact on succession processes remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the dynamics of the soil fungal community in three temperate forest secondary successional stages (shrublands, coniferous forests, and deciduous broad‐leaved forests) using high‐throughput DNA sequencing coupled with functional prediction via the FUNGuild database. We found that fungal community richness, α‐diversity, and evenness decreased significantly during the succession process. Soil available phosphorus and nitrate nitrogen decreased significantly after initial succession occurred, and redundancy analysis showed that both were significant predictors of soil fungal community structure. Among functional groups, fungal saprotrophs and pathotrophs represented by plant pathogens were significantly enriched in the early‐successional stage, while fungal symbiotrophs represented by ectomycorrhiza were significantly increased in the late‐successional stage. The abundance of both saprotroph and pathotroph fungal guilds was positively correlated with soil nitrate nitrogen and available phosphorus content. Ectomycorrhizal fungi were negatively correlated with nitrate nitrogen and available phosphorus content and positively correlated with ammonium nitrogen content. These results indicate that the dynamics of fungal community and function reflected the changes in nitrogen and phosphorus availability caused by the secondary succession in temperate forests. The fungal plant pathogen accumulated in the early‐successional stage and ectomycorrhizal fungi accumulated in the late‐successional stage may have a potential role in promoting forest succession. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the response of soil fungal communities to secondary forest succession and highlight the importance of fungal communities during the successional process.

“…Lactarius, belonging to Russulales, has speci c traits of host speci city and defense-related latex exudation. It can secret ectomycorrhiza-induced sedolisins and establish symbiotic relationships with plants, especially tree individuals (Lebreton et al 2022;Qu et al 2021;Qu et al 2022). Cysto lobasidium is usually enriched in the bulk soil of healthy plants (Lu et al 2022).…”

BackgroundSpring rapeseed has developed speci c associations with fungi to adapt to extreme environments on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). However, the correlation among rapeseed, fungi and soil on the QTP remain largely unexplored. MethodsThis study comparatively analyzed the fungal diversity and community in multiple compartment niches (rhizosphere soil, root, stem and leaf) in Brassica rapa L. (Haoyou No. 11) and Brassica napus L. (Qingza No. 4, Qingza No.5, Qingza No. 7, Qingza No. 9, Qingza No. 12 and Qingza No. 15). Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) genes were sequenced by High-throughput Illumina sequencing, followed by function prediction using FUNGuild. ResultsB. napus exhibited higher fungal diversity in plant tissues than B. rapa, while B. rapa demonstrated higher fungal richness in the rhizosphere soil (p < 0.05). Olpidium (66.29%), Lactarius (18.37%), and Verticillium (1.99%) were the most abundant genera, and 46 key genera prevalent in all niches and cultivars.Additionally, 19 biomarkers were identi ed, with Lactarius, Coprinellus, Mortierella and Vishniacozyma signi cantly enriched in cultivars Qingza No. 15, Qingza No. 12, Qingza No. 7, and Qingza No. 4, respectively, while Haoyou No. 11 harbored 15 other genera. Among them, Saprotroph-Symbiotroph (45.00%) as the dominant guild in the rhizosphere soil. Correlation network analysis indicated that the abundant and key genera showed signi cantly positive correlations with yield, and fungal biomarkers may contribute to the promotion of plant growth and stress resistance in rapeseed (p < 0.05). ConclusionsThis study provides valuable insights into the relationship between rapeseed and fungal communities on the QTP.
