Exploring Rubiaceae fungal endophytes across contrasting tropical forests, tree tissues, and developmental stages

H. Castillo-Gonzalez, J. C. Slot, S. Yarwood, P. Chaverri

This study examines fungal endophyte communities in Rubiaceae plants across different tropical forests, leaf stages, and tissues, finding regional differences and higher diversity in leaves than sapwood.

Gene age predicts the transcriptional landscape of sexual morphogenesis in multicellular fungi

Z. Merenyi, M. Viragh, E. Gluck-Thaler, J. C. Slot, B. Kiss, T. Varga, A. Geosel, B. Hegedus, B. Balint, L. G. Nagy

The paper shows that gene age predicts transcriptional patterns during sexual morphogenesis in multicellular fungi, with younger genes showing more expression variation and functional specialization.

Horizontal gene cluster transfer increased hallucinogenic mushroom diversity

H. T. Reynolds, V. Vijayakumar, E. Gluck-Thaler, H. B. Korotkin, P. B. Matheny, J. C. Slot

The paper identifies horizontal transfer of a psilocybin gene cluster among hallucinogenic mushroom species and suggests it provides a fitness advantage in specific ecological niches.
