Article Synopsis
- There is limited research on how the age of pruning wounds and timing of pruning affect the infection of apple trees by Botryosphaeriaceae fungi.
- The study found that younger pruning wounds (1 and 15 days old) are significantly more susceptible to infections than older wounds (30 and 45 days).
- Additionally, the release of fungal spores was closely linked to rainfall, with a large percentage of conidia released during rainy months from June to August.
The Andean Páramo is an environment known for its high biodiversity; however, due to its remote location and difficult access, it is still relatively poorly studied. The aim of this work was to explore the fungal biodiversity of Ecuadorian Páramo soils in the undisturbed natural reserve of Quimsacocha through ITS metabarconding with an MiSeq platform. This analysis revealed the presence of 370 fungal Amplicon Sequence Variants (ASVs), mainly composed by , and .
