During the screening of Korean microflora, a fungal strain (KNU-PT-1804) belonging to the genus Pestalotiopsis was isolated from persimmon tree (Diospyros kaki) bark collected from North Gyeongsang Province, Korea. The strain, KNU-PT-1804, produced smaller conidia compared with related species P....

The frequency and severity of drought are expected to increase due to climate change; therefore, drought tolerance of tree species should be considered before planting for maximal survival in the field. In this study, we examined the response of drought stress in two of the most popular plantation...

Ulmus genus has excellent various physiological activities, including anti-ulcer, antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-cancer, immunity, and homeostasis maintenance effects, and it is known to have many additional drug effects And one of reasons for these excellentbiological activities is a flavan-3-ol ...

Water deficit is a critical factor obstructing the growth and survival of plant. Therefore, researchers have been trying to develop drought-resistant varieties. To find indicators of drought stress-tolerance of cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa), we analyzed the response of cypress seedlings from six...

In the era of extreme weather events, plant resistance to excessive water should be considered for plantations in frequently flooded areas to ensure their maximum survival and conservation of natural habitats. Therefore, we quantified the resistance to excessive irrigation (R_EI) in seedlings of six ...

Projected changes in temperature and precipitation in mid-latitude wet regions are expected to significantly affect forest ecosystems. We studied the physiological and shoot growth responses of Abies holophylla and Abies koreana seedlings to warming (3°C above ambient temperature) and increased...

During a survey of plant-inhabiting fungi and water niches from Korea, noteworthy fungi were collected; among them, two new species, Paracamarosporium noviaquum sp. nov. and Phyllosticta gwangjuensis sp. nov., are described based on morphology and multi-gene phylogenies. Paracamarosporium noviaquum ...

Species of Ceriporia (Irpicaceae, Basidiomycota) are saprotrophs or endophytes in forest ecosystems. To evaluate the taxonomy and generic relationships of Ceriporia and other related taxa, we used morphology and multigene phylogenetic analyses based on sequence data from nuc rDNA internal...

Polyphasic taxonomic studies were performed for the seven strains, which were isolated from sap extracted from Acer pictum in Mt. Halla in Jeju, Republic of Korea. Cells of all the isolates were Gram-reaction-negative, facultatively anaerobic, short rods and contained the major isoprenoid quinone...

Based on relevant literatures, specimen in different herbarium in different cities in China and other countries and field investigations during 2017 and 2018 in Yunnan, Hubei, Taiwan, and Japan and South Korea, taxonomy of Prunus subg. Cerasus was discussed on achievement of molecular biology, and...
