Diversity and taxonomy of the genus (Amanitaceae, Agaricales) in the Yanshan Mountains, Northern China.

Globally, the species of are key components of ectomycorrhizal ecosystems. Some of them are widely known as poisonous or edible fungi. Although many new species from China have been described, the species diversity of Yanshan Mountains remains unknown.

Four new species of from China based on morphological and phylogenetic characterization.

() species are widely distributed globally and constitute a diverse group of pathogenic and endophytic fungi associated with a broad range of plant hosts. In this study, four new species of , i.e.

A new study of : with two new species proposed and taxonomic status inferred by phylogenetic methods.

(, ) is a monotypic genus with a previously unknown systematic position. In this report, two new species are proposed, and These new taxa are proposed based on morphological characteristics evident via light microscopy and molecular data. Multi-locus phylogenetic analyses (ITS rDNA, nrLSU rDNA, , and ) show that specimens recently collected in Yunnan Province, China are closely related to .

Morphological Characteristics and Phylogeny Reveal Six New Species in Subgenus () from Yanshan Mountains, North China.

Species of the genus are key components of ectomycorrhizal ecosystems worldwide, some of which are famous edible fungi. Although many new species have been described in China, their diversity in North China is still poorly known. Based on the morphology observation of specimens and molecular phylogenetic analyses, combined with the current classification frame of , six new species of subgenus are proposed from the Yanshan Mountains in northern Beijing and northern Hebei Province of China in this study: viz.

Increasing Selenium and Yellow Pigment Concentrations in Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica L.) Grain with Foliar Application of Selenite.

Although addition of selenium (Se) is known to increase Se in crops, it is unclear whether exogenous Se is linked to nutritional and functional components in foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.). In this study, we examined the potential of increasing Se and yellow pigment (YP) in foxtail millet grain by foliar application of Se.

Synthesis, characterization, interaction with DNA and cytotoxicity in vitro of novel pyridine complexes with Zn(II).

Four novel Zn(II) complexes [Zn(L(1))(bipy)(H(2)O)(2)].4H(2)O(1), [Zn(L(1))(phen)(H(2)O)(2)].4H(2)O(2), [Zn(L(2))(bipy)(H(2)O)(2)].
