Low-dose chronic radiation exposure does not induce oxidative DNA damage in Pinus densiflora a decade after the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear power plant accident
It is well established that radiation effects on wild organisms from nuclear power plant accidents primarily depend on the dose received at the accident; however, impacts of prolonged low-dose expo...

Dauphin et al. assembled a telomere-to-telomere reference genome for an ectomycorrhizal fungus with a large, repeat-rich genome, showing its genome expansion was driven by a few lineage-specific TE families in recent history.

What characteristics of dead wood promote fungal species richness in forests? And how can we use this information to manage fungal biodiversity?

New research on the functional diversity of dead wood in Norwegian forests provides some answers.
