Researchers tested whether a fungus called Exserohilum rostratum could help a forage grass called Rhodes grass survive in salty soil. The fungus did tolerate salt and helped the grass maintain better nutrient balance under salt stress, but it couldn’t fully protect the grass from severe salinity. The benefits were most noticeable under moderate salt conditions, suggesting the fungus works best in less extreme environments.

Genomic insights into the ecological versatility of Tetracladium spp

Researchers sequenced the genomes of two fungal species called Tetracladium that live in different environments – one found in plant roots and one from freshwater. These fungi have special enzymes that allow them to break down plant cell walls and materials, enabling them to survive in multiple habitats. The study revealed these fungi can also produce compounds with potential medical properties like antifungal and antibacterial effects.

Researchers studied whether a beneficial soil fungus called Exserohilum rostratum could help Rhodes grass survive in salty soils. The fungus could tolerate salt and colonize plant roots, producing helpful enzymes and acids. While the fungus did improve the plant’s ability to maintain balanced nutrient levels and helped under normal conditions, it provided only limited benefits when salt stress became severe, showing that such fungal partnerships work best under specific conditions.
