Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the distribution and antibacterial potential of endophytic fungi from the Zanthoxylum nitidum plant in Guangxi, identifying genetic diversity through molecular methods.
  • Researchers isolated 35 fungal strains from various plant tissues, with Colletotrichum and Fusarium being the dominant genera, and found significant differences in fungal diversity among roots, stems, and leaves.
  • The antimicrobial activity analysis revealed that 14.28% of the isolated fungi inhibited bacteria, particularly Fusarium sp. ZN-34 and ZN-26, which showed strong effects against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, indicating potential for developing natural antibacterial agents.

In this paper, the stages of normal sexual reproduction between pollen tube penetration of the archegonium and early embryo formation in Pinus tabulaeformis are described, emphasizing the transmission of parental cytoplasm, especially the DNA-containing organelles--plastids and mitochondria. The pollen tube growing in the nucellus contained an irregular tube nucleus followed by a pair of sperm cells. The tube cytoplasm contained abundant organelles, including starch-containing plastids and mitochondria.
