    Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) are typical plant symbiotic fungi, playing an important role in ecosystem functioning. However, the diversity, community composition, and ecological patterns of DSEs in cliff-top plants from Danxia landform area are still unclear. Here, we investigated the composition of DSEs in the roots of nine dominant xerophytic plant species from Longhu Mountain, Yingtan, China, including Castanopsis sclerophylla, Commelina communis, Cyclobalanopsis glauca, Cyperus rotundus, Juniperus formosana, Loropetalum chinensis, Moringa oleifera, Pinus massoniana and Vaccinium bracteatum. DSEs were isolated using tissue separation method and identified based on morphological and molecular data. A total of 404 strains belonging to 45 taxa were isolated from 990 tissue blocks. Of these DSE strains, Penicillium, Endomycopsis, Aspergillus, and Ascocybe were the dominant fungal genera. DSE community composition distinctly differed among plant species. The richness of genera was positively correlated with plant dominance. The separation rate of DSEs by plant species ranged from 0.5% to 13.3%. However, the richness of DSEs in different plant species was relatively low. The Shannon index of each plant ranged from 0.07 to 1.04, which also positively correlated with plant dominance. The high Simpson diversity indices (avg. > 0.7) and the low Pielou evenness indices (avg. < 0.4) indicated the heterogeneous distribution of DSEs among plant species. The Similarity index among DSE communities ranged from 0.07 to 0.47, showing different community composition across plant species. This study reveals the distribution and diversity of DSEs in cliff-top vegetation of Danxia landforms, which benefits to excavate and utilize the resource of DSEs.

    Overgrazing and global climate change have caused most of the Tibetan Plateau alpine grasslands to show a continuous degradation trend. The degradation of the alpine grasslands has led to the gradual replacement of aboveground plant communities, and changes in the diversity and richness of underground soil microbial communities. This review aims to explore the distribution characteristics of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in the alpine grasslands, and their physiological and ecological effects on close-to-nature restoration. In the alpine grasslands, 4 orders, 14 genera, 61 species of AM fungi have been reported, accounting for about 20% of the known AM fungal species. In the rhizosphere of grasses, the species abundance of AM fungi is the highest in alpine grassland; while in the sedge rhizosphere, the AM fungal spore density is the highest. Among the three alpine grassland vegetation types, AM fungi were the most abundant in alpine steppe with 33 species, followed by 32 species in mountain shrub steppe and only 22 species in alpine meadow. At the AM fungal species level, Acaulospora laevis and Pacispora scintillans are dominant in the alpine steppe, Funneliformis mosseae is dominant in the montane scrub, and A. laevis, Glomus claroideum, and P. scintillans dominate the alpine meadow. The mycorrhizal networks of indigenous AM fungi in alpine grassland can promote plant establishment and growth by regulating the absorption and allocation of nutrient elements; but the invasion of poisonous weeds can change the indigenous AM species diversity and common mycorrhizal networks, limiting the actual niche expansion of native grass species. AM fungal community has high environmental adaptability and resilience in the degraded alpine grassland. AM fungal community restoration not only regulates the establishment and diversity of aboveground plant community, but also increases the production of AM fungal product—glomalin-related soil protein, thereby synergistically improving the underground soil micro-ecosystem, shaping soil habitat for the early vegetation restoration. Therefore, AM fungi have great application potential in the close-to nature restoration of degraded alpine grasslands.

    Two specimens of wild macrofungi collected from northwestern Yunnan, were identified as Flammulina rossica and F. filiformis based on molecular phylogenetic (internal transcriptional spacer) analysis and morphological characters. The isolated strains Mdr-02 and Mdr-09 were used to study their biological characteristics and domestication. The effects of carbon source, nitrogen source, temperature, pH value and inorganic salt on growth of the mycelium were investigated by single factor test and three optimal levels were selected for orthogonal the test to investigate effects of different culture conditions on the growth of mycelia. The results indicated that the optimal carbon source for the growth of F. rossica was malt powder, best nitrogen source was bean cake powder, and calcium carbonate was the best inorganic salt. Incubation under pH 6.0 and 24°C gave optimal growth of the mycelia. The most suitable carbon source for F. filiformis was malt powder, the best nitrogen source was yeast powder, the best inorganic salt was magnesium sulfate and incubation under pH 6.0 and 24°C gave optimal growth of the mycelia. Moreover, this study successfully domesticated F. rossica for the first time and obtained a selectable F. filiformis strain, which will be conducive to the development of germplasm resources and the breeding of new varieties of wild Flammulina species.

    Three kinds of forestry wastes (honeysuckle branches, pine, poplar) were used to cultivate four selected Pleurotus pulmonarius strains, and the content of crude protein, total sugars, hydrolyzed amino acid, free amino acid and umami 5′-nucleotides were determined. The traditional cultivation substrate of oak wood + cotton seed husk was used as a control. The results showed that the nutrients and flavor components of Pleurotus pulmonarius were significantly different between different strains and different substrates. When honeysuckle branches were used as the substrate, the content of crude protein and hydrolyzed amino acid in fruiting bodies of the strain P2, P3, and P45 were highest among the four substrates; when pine was used as the cultivation substrate, the total amount of free amino acids was generally the highest among the four substrates. Equivalent umami concentration (EUC) value of fruiting bodies cultivated with four substrates ranged from 73.52 to 153.43g MSG/100g. The highest EUC value occurred in fruiting bodies of the strain P3 cultivated with honeysuckle branches, while the EUC value of fruiting bodies in CK group was the lowest. This study can provide a theoretical basis for the production and cultivation of Pleurotus pulmonarius based on local agricultural and forestry wastes.

    Verticillium dahliae can infect 660 host plants such as cotton, potatoes and tomatoes, causing Verticillium wilt and serious economic losses. In order to understand the pathogenic mechanism of V. dahliae, the up-regulated mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene VdGut2 (VD592_6958_Chr4) and the cytosolic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene VdGpd (VD592_10256_Chr2) were selected for functional analysis based on the transcriptome analysis of V. dahliae induced by cotton extracts. The results showed that the conidial production of the two VdGut2 knockout mutant strains decreased by 67% and 72%, respectively, the disease index decreased by 70% and 51%, and the colony growth rate also decreased significantly; the conidial production of the VdGpd overexpression strain decreased by 40%, and the disease index decreased by 63%, but the colony growth rate on the medium with glycerol as the sole carbon source significantly increased. Therefore, VdGut2 promotes the formation of V. dahliae conidia, the utilization of carbon source and the pathogenicity to host plant, while VdGpd inhibits the formation of V. dahliae conidia and the pathogenicity to host plant, but promotes the metabolism of glycerol.

    Fusarium head blight (FHB), mainly caused by Fusarium graminearum, is a devastating epidemic disease on wheat. At present, the control of FHB is mainly dependent on the application of fungicides, such as benzimidazoles, whose targets are β2-tubulin. The aim of this research was to investigate the interaction between β2-tubulin protein of F. graminearum with benzimidazoles. The β2-tubulin structure was obtained by homology modeling method. And structures of β2-tubulin complexed with the small molecular inhibitor: carbendazim, benomyl, thiabendazole and thiophanate-methyl, were built respectively by molecular docking based on the β2-tubulin structure. Molecular docking results showed that the amino acid Phe198 and Val236 in F. graminearum β2-tubulin can directly interact through hydrogen bonds with four benzimidazole molecules, and the amino acid residues at position 50, 134, 165, 167, 198, 200, 236, 237, 239, 240, 250, 253, 257, 314 of F. graminearum β2-tubulin can form a drug binding pocket. In addition, the binding energy of β2-tubulin/carbendazim is lowest(-5.72 kcal/mol)and the affinity is highest, compared with the other three complexes. Then, the sensitivity of F. graminearum to four benzimidazole fungicides were tested using mycelium growth rate method, the results showed that the EC50 value of F. graminearum to carbendazim, benomyl, thiabendazole and thiophanate-methyl was 0.772 mg/L, 0.862 mg/L, 1.088 mg/L, 13.266 mg/L, respectively. This indicated that F. graminearum is more sensitive to carbendazim than to the other three fungicides, which is consistent with the molecular docking results.

    The reed mushroom is a famous wild edible fungus mainly distributed in Xinjiang. In this study, ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS) sequences were used to assess species boundaries of these specimens of the reed mushroom collected from Xinjiang. Combined with morphological examination, we recognized four species within Agaricus, i.e. A. bitorquis, A. padanus, A. sinodeliciosus, and A. subperonatus. The morphological descriptions, photos, and ITS for each species, as well as the dichotomous key were given. We performed a maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis including 55 ITS sequences from GenBank and 91 newly generated sequences in this study. The four species from Xinjiang were well supported in the ITS tree. Voucher specimens were deposited in the Mycological Herbarium, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing (HMAS). The geographical distribution data and correlating environmental factors of A. sinodeliciosus were used to model potential distribution using the maximum entropy model (MaxEnt). The highly suitable regions of A. sinodeliciosus were relatively narrow, mainly located in northwestern China and Central Asia. In China, it is mainly distributed in the two sides of Tianshan Mountains, southwestern Tibet, Haixi State of Qinghai, northwestern Gansu, and western Inner Mongolia. The most effective environmental factors, which were the precipitation of wettest month, the precipitation of warmest quarter, the mean temperature of coldest quarter and the maximum temperature of warmest month, were shown to contribute more to the species distribution models than other factors. The results showed that the suitable region of A. sinodeliciosus was narrow, and it was suggested to strengthen its protection and actively develop sustainable utilization approaches.

    The combined use of slightly-acidic electrolyzed water and ultraviolet light (SAEW+UV) is an effective approach to deactivate microorganisms while maintaining the commercial attributes of the food treated. In this study, we investigate the effect of SAEW+UV on the postharvest quality of the mushroom Morchella sextelata for 9 days at 20 ℃. After the treatment, the microbial counts on the mushrooms were reduced by 1.69 log (bacteria) and 0.97 log (fungi), and the SAEW+UV treatment had a minimal effect on the weight loss, flavor and nutritional composition of the samples. It was also found to trigger the activity of superoxide dismutase and vitamin C, suppress polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase and respiration rate, and also improving storage performance in terms of color and hardness. These results were consistent with the transcriptome analysis related to postharvest quality involved in the up-regulation of antioxidant defense and down-regulation of degradation enzymes of the cell walls, cell death and melanin synthesis. SAEW+UV treatment is thus capable of prolonging M. sextelata shelf life.

    Antioxidant enzymes and antioxidant active substances are important factors for Morchella to resist stress. Under high/low temperature, mycelia can reduce the damage to themselves by increasing the activities of the corresponding enzymes. The effects of different temperatures on the contents of SOD, CAT, GR, GPX, H2O2, O2- and MDA in Morchelles were studied. After treating the mycelia of Morchella at different temperatures, it was found that within the temperature range of 5-25℃, with the increase of temperature, the growth rate of mycelia and the aging rate of mycelia accelerated. Studies on antioxidant enzyme activities showed that SOD, GPX and GR had higher activity at low temperature, while CAT had higher activity at high temperature. High temperatures also increase antioxidant activity such as reduced ASA and reduced GSH.This study also found that the higher the temperature, the more reactive oxygen species (O2- and H2O2) and MDA accumulated in the mycelia of Morchella , thus accelerating the aging of mycelia. Therefore, Morchella can alleviate mycelium damage by activating different antioxidant enzymes and antioxidant active substances at high/low temperatures. The preliminary study on antioxidant enzyme genes of Morchella provides theoretical data support for the optimization of cultivation conditions of Morchella.

    This study was focusing on the cultivation and domestication of Vanderbylia cinnamomea, which was to screen the optimal culture formula and revealed the biological characteristics of this taxon. In the present study, eight formulations were carried out, in which the industrial hemp straw, wood residues of Gastrodia elata, poplar and oak were selected as culture materials. The results showed that 1) the industrial hemp straw and wood residues of G. elata were unable to cultivate V. cinnamomea, but the industrial hemp straw formula could produce more generative hyphae without basidiomata, and the germination time was short and the growth rate was fast; 2) the fruiting body of V. cinnamomea were successfully cultivated on poplar and oak, and the optimum formulation was: 70% of oak sawdust, 20% of corn cob, 10% of auxiliary materials, the temperature about 25 ℃, the humidity between 90–95%, in which it was to ventilate once in the morning and evening and to supplement the scattered light irradiation. The biological development characteristics of the fruiting body at different growth stages revealed that: the fruiting body formed small white projection, and then formed a larger lump, then grew as the fruiting body gradually; the color of the fruiting body changed from white to light yellow to brown and after 32 days, the fruiting body stopped growing and became mature.

    A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted using tall fescue (Festuca elata ‘Crossfire II’) inoculated with or without the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Funneliformis mosseae. Plant biomass, defense enzyme activities, phosphorus (P) uptake and available cadmium (Cd) contents were determined in tall fescue plants grown in soil with Cd added at 0, 5, 15 and 30 mg/kg. As the Cd concentration increased, the mycorrhizal colonization and mycorrhizal relative dependency of the tall fescue increased. The presence of AM fungi improved P transportation from roots to the shoots, which helped the plant accumulate more P in the shoots. In addition, the activities of antioxidant enzymes were largely induced by the AM fungi and Cd stress in the tall fescue plants. In particular, the catalase activity in AM fungus inoculated plant increased significantly compared to the non-inoculated control. Malondialdehyde content decreased significantly in inoculated plants compared with control plants under Cd stress. Inoculang F. mosseae greatly enhanced the Cd enrichment capacity of the host plants and was conducive to fixing heavy metals withi roots, and reducing Cd content in the shoots compared to the non-inoculated control. This study shows that tall fescue inoculated with AM fungi has good potential as a Cd phytoremediator.

    In order to reveal the characteristics of apple resistant cultivar “Qinguan” against apple scab at the level of histocytology, the changes of leaf tissue and cell structure of apple resistant cultivar “Qinguan” and susceptible cultivar “Gala” were systematically observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) after conidia suspension (5×105 conidium/mL) of Venturia inaequalis inoculation on host. The results of SEM observation showed that hypha of pathogen grew and expanded along the veins of host leaf after 48 hours inoculation, and it could directly invade into host leaf or from its stomata. The results of TEM showed that the cuticle thickness of “Qinguan” leaf slice was significantly higher than that of “Gala”, and the average cuticle thickness of “Qinguan” was 1.75 μm while Gala was 1.06 μm. After 14 days inoculation, it was observed that the hyphae of Venturia inaequalis expanded among the mesophyll cells of “Gala” which its palisade cells shrank, loosely arranged, the number of cells decreased, and the chloroplast was deformed and severe damaged.while large starch granules and intracellular substances leaked out of the cells wrer also observed. However, a similar phenomenon also occurred in “Qinguan”, but the degree of leaf tissues and cells damage were obviously less than that of “Gala”. After 21 days inoculation, a large number of cells necrosis can be seen in the mesophyll cells of “Gala”, which was mainly manifested by the digestion of organelles, the disappearance of vacuoles and the darkening of cell color. However, the mesophyll cells of “QinGuan” only showed cell deformity, cytoplasm loss and some produced empty cells. Therefore, above research results indicated that the role of “Qinguan” aganst Venturia inaequalis is represented by its resistance to pathogen’s penetration, extension and delaying the development of apple scab pathogenesis. It suggest that “Qinguan” can be used as apple resistant breeding material for apple scab.

    Abstract: In order to explore the ecological stoichiometry of carbon(C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in Pachyma hoelen, 42 populations of P. hoelen samples were collected from 11 prefectures and cities in Yunnan Province, and the contents and ratios of C, N and P both in sclerotium and peel were analyzed. The results show that the contents of C, N and P in P. hoelen sclerotium were 40.24%-43.58%, 0.176%-0.532% and 0.020%-0.077% respectively. The ranges of C:N, C:P and N:P in P. hoelen sclerotium were 93.23-279.42, 1342.00-5571.32 and 8.11-44.62, respectively. The contents of C, N and P in P. hoelen peels were 29.86%-48.71%, 0.229%-0.895% and 0.027%-0.107%, and the values of C:N, C:P and N:P were 49.90-206.53, 884.74-4290.89 and 8.35-41.41, the median C:N:P ratio of P. hoelen sclerotium and peels were 3317:18:1 and 2318:22:1, respectively. The C contents in P. hoelen sclerotium and peels were close to each other (p=0.847). The contents of sclerotium N and P were significantly lower than those of peels. Compared with cultivated P. hoelen, there were significant differences in other indexes except the C content in sclerotium and C:N in peels of wild P. hoelen. The N content of wild P. hoelen was significantly higher than that of cultivated P. hoelen, but the P content was on the contrary. Correlation analysis results show that there were significant(p=0.05) negative correlativity between C contents of sclerotium and latitude, and significant (p=0.01) positive correlativity between N contents of sclerotium and longitude. There were significant (p=0.01) negative correlativity between sclerotia C:N and longitude. There was significant (p=0.05) positive correlation between N:P in sclerotium and longitude, and there was significant (p=0.05) positive correlativity between content of C and N in peels and longitude. However, there was no correlation between the contents of C, N and P and the altitude. We conclude that the content of C in P. hoelen is close to that of other fungi, and the content of N and P is obviously low. Under cultivation conditions, the growth of P. hoelen may be limited by N or both N and P.

    Transcription factors play an important role in the regulation of fungal environmental responses and physiological processes. The changes of transcription factor genes in light-inuced brown film (BF) formation were analyzed by the next-generation high-throughput sequencing technology. The results showed that 68 differential expressed transcription factor genes (at the transcription level, 48 genes were up-regulated and 20 were down-regulated) when compare sample 313C (with BF) and sample 313W (without BF), and 80 differential expressed transcription factor genes (at the transcription level, 49 genes were up-regulated and 31 genes were down-regulated) when compare sample 313C (with BF) and sample 118 (without BF). And these transcription factor were belonged to some transcription factors families, such as WD40、MADS-box、MYB and GATA. The of transcription factors genes was difference in light-induced BF formation, and there were genes of special response as well as there were genes overlap between the three samples. 14 transcription factors from 313C/313W and 26 from 313C/118 were special respectively. There were 64 transcription factor genes exhibited the same current in both 313C/313W and 313C/118, with 39 up-regulated and 15 down-regulated at the transcription level, respectively. Finally, the results of transcriptome analyses were verified by real-time quantitative PCR.

    The four extraction methods, hot water reflux, hot water- enzyme reflux, ultrasonic, and ultrasonic combined with enzyme hydrolysis, were compared for β-glucan extraction from Ganoderma lingzhi mycelia. The results showed that the ultrasonic combined with enzyme hydrolysis was the most efficient method. Single factor experiment reveals that the key parameters affecting β-glucan yield of G. lingzhi were ultrasonic power (A), ratio of water to material (B), pH (C) and enzyme concentration (D). Based on the results, Box-Benhnken design combined with response surface methodology were applied to optimize these four key parameters. The results showed that the parameters A, B and C were significant to extraction of β-glucan (P<0.01), however, parameter D and all the interactions were not significant (P>0.05). A polynomial model was established to predict the β-glucan extraction yield, and analysis of response optimization suggested that the optimum conditions for β-glucan extraction were ultrasonic power 275.54 W, ratio of water to material 25.62:1 (v/m, mL/g), pH 7.17, enzyme concentration 1.05%. The verified test shows that the extraction yield of β-glucan from G. lingzhi mycelia reached 5.50 mg/g under the optimized conditions.

    Abstract:In this research, the writer inoculated Funneliformis mosseae to the Heilongjiang province’s three soybean (HN48 HN44 KF16) varieties of different continuous cropping to analyze the diversity of AM (Arbuscular mycorrhiza) fungi during the branching period.In order to explore the AM fungi infect the soybean branching stage of root AM fungi community structure and to prevent the continuous cropping obstacles. Nested polymerase chain reaction-Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (Nested-PCR-DGGE) was used to analyze the diversity of fungi in the branching of continuous cropping. The results show that: with the increase of continuous cropping, the AM fungi abundance, dominance and index of diversity showed a growth trend in root. The study stated that Funneliformis mosseae could have a effect on different varieties of soybean root AM fungi community structure. Therefore, in this study,using AM fungi could delay continuous cropping soybean obstacle, improve the yield of soybean and the quality of soybean.

    In this study, cordycepin and N6-(2-hydroxyethyl)-adenosine were separated and purified from Cordyceps militaris fruit bodies by high speed couter-current chromatogrphy (HSCCC). The partition coefficient was assessed by HPLC method to select the suitable solvent systems. A solvent system that consisted of ethyl acetate-n-butanol-1.5% ammonia water (1:4:5) was appied to the separation. The upper phase was used as the stationary phase, while the lower phase was the mobile phase. The apparatus was rotated at 850 r/min and the flow rate was operated at 1.5 mL/min. The wavelengh was at 254 nm. A high efficiency separation and purification of HSCCC was achieved and cordycepin (10.8 mg) with a purity of 99% and N6-(2-hydroxyethyl)-adenosine (6.1 mg) with a purity of 98% were obtained from 200 mg crude sample of Cordyceps militaris fruit bodies in one-step separation. The established method is simple and suitable for large scale separation of cordycepin and N6-(2-hydroxyethyl)-adenosine from Cordyceps militaris fruit bodies, which could provide the material basis for the pharmacological research of cordycepin and N6-(2-hydroxyethyl)-adenosine.
