Revising and allied genera in .

(, ) species are common soil-borne fungi, endophytes, epiphytes, and saprotrophs. Sexual morphs of spp were placed in the genus , which was further segregated into the six subgenera , , , , , and . However, with the end of dual nomenclature, became the single depository for sexual and asexual morph-typified species.

First report of causing leaf spots on common bean in Europe (Slovenia).

A L. leaf showing necrotic spots was collected in an experimental bean field in central Slovenia in August 2021. The field contained diverse common bean lines sourced from genebank collections, with each line represented by 10 plants.

First Report of causing Damping-off / Root Rot on Parsley in Slovenia.

Pythium-like species cause damping-off symptoms of various hosts, including umbelliferous crops. In April 2023, parsley plantlets (), showing stunted growth, yellowing, decayed roots and damping-off, were obtained from a nursery in central Slovenia, where parsley was grown in polystyrene trays in a greenhouse. Nearly 30% of plants were symptomatic.

: more than a node or a foot-shaped basal cell.

Recent publications have argued that there are potentially serious consequences for researchers in recognising distinct genera in the terminal fusarioid clade of the family . Thus, an alternate hypothesis, namely a very broad concept of the genus was proposed. In doing so, however, a significant body of data that supports distinct genera in based on morphology, biology, and phylogeny is disregarded.

Comparative genomics highlights the importance of drug efflux transporters during evolution of mycoparasitism in subgenus (Fungi, Ascomycota, Hypocreales).

Various strains of the mycoparasitic fungal species are used commercially as biological control agents for the control of fungal plant diseases in agricultural crop production. Further improvements of the use and efficacy of in biocontrol require a mechanistic understanding of the factors that determines the outcome of the interaction between and plant pathogenic fungi. Here, we determined the genome sequences of 11 strains, representing five species in subgenus , and performed a comparative genomic analysis with the aim to identify gene families evolving under selection for gene gains or losses.
