The systemic fungal endophytes of the genus Epichloë inhabit the aerial part of host grasses. Recent studies have reported that Epichloë affects the non-systemic endophytic assemblages in live leaves, but few studies that have demonstrated the occurrence of Epichloë and its effect on fungal assemblages in dead leaves. We proposed a hypothesis that Epichloë decreases from live to dead leaves but affects the non-systemic endophytic assemblages also in dead leaves.

- Delirium alters cognitive function and may impact the severity of physical symptoms like pain and dyspnea in palliative care patients, but the specific effects of different motor subtypes of delirium are not fully understood.
- A study analyzed patient data from 23 hospices in Japan, focusing on advanced cancer patients who experienced delirium and its motor subtypes at the time of admission and later on.
- Results indicated that patients with hyperactive or mixed delirium had significantly higher odds of experiencing severe pain and dyspnea compared to those without delirium, while hypoactive delirium did not show a similar association.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the diversity of Xylariaceae and Hypoxylaceae fungi involved in decomposing leaf litter from various tree species in different climates in Japan.
- A total of 248 fungal isolates were classified into 43 operational taxonomic units (OTUs), with no overlap between fungi from subtropical and cool temperate trees.
- Results indicated that subtropical regions had a higher average number of fungal OTUs but lower species richness compared to cool temperate regions, along with a consistent composition of fungal OTUs across tree species within the same climate.
Live cell imaging techniques are now essential for capturing chromosomal segregation in fertilized eggs. Although better spatiotemporal resolution of fluorescence observations could provide more information, higher phototoxicity may occur. Super-resolution microscopy is generally considered unsuitable for live cell imaging because of the considerable cell damage.
