A series of isolates of spp. were recovered in the course of a cooperative study on galls formed by midges of the genus (Diptera, Cecidomyidae) on several species of Lamiaceae. The finding of these fungi in both normal and galled flowers was taken as an indication that they do not have a definite relationship with the midges. Moreover, identification based on DNA sequencing showed that these isolates are taxonomically heterogeneous and belong to several species which are classified in two different species complexes. Two new species, and , were characterized within the species complex based on strains from Poland and Italy, respectively. Evidence concerning the possible existence of additional taxa within the collective species and is discussed.

Gallophilous theory of cyclical parthenogenesis in aphids (Homoptera, Aphidinea).

The paper elaborates theoretical basis of the origin of aphid cyclical parthenogenesis in view of the original life of these insects in strobiloid galls on spp. The period of gall opening is greatly extended in time, which prevents normal panmixia and creates a selective advantage for parthenogenetic reproduction. Migration of aphids to secondary host plants, on which closed galls never form, parthenogenetic reproduction on these plants, and the subsequent simultaneous return of "remigrants" to the main host plant make it possible to synchronize the development of the bisexual generation and achieve mass panmixia at the end of the life cycle only; it coincides with the end of summer growth shoots or the autumn end of the vegetation period as a whole.

Background: Macrophages play a significant role in the onset and progression of vascular disease in pulmonary hypertension, and cell-based immunotherapies aimed at treating vascular remodeling are lacking. We aimed to evaluate the effect of pulmonary administration of macrophages modified to have an anti-inflammatory/proresolving phenotype in attenuating early pulmonary inflammation and progression of experimentally induced pulmonary hypertension.
Methods: Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages were polarized in vitro to a regulatory (M2) phenotype.

Article Synopsis
- - Parrotia subaequalis is valued for its distinctive bark and large galls, making it a popular choice for bonsai, but it was recently affected by a significant leaf blight outbreak in China with an 80% incidence rate among seedlings.
- - The leaf blight starts with small brown spots that grow darker and expand, leading to leaf wilting and potential plant death, which hampers growth.
- - Researchers isolated 30 tissue samples from affected leaves, identifying six fungal isolates whose characteristics suggested they belong to the Botryosphaeria genus; further molecular analysis confirmed one isolate (IS2116-1) using various gene sequencing techniques.

Article Synopsis
- Common lambsquarters is a fast-growing weed that can negatively impact crops, yet it also serves as a nutritious food source for humans.
- A study conducted in September 2023 in Henan, China, found that 73% of common lambsquarters plants in a yam field showed symptoms of disease, particularly from root-knot nematodes (RKN).
- Morphological and molecular analyses confirmed the presence of RKN species, with detailed characteristics recorded, including distinct features of juveniles and females, aiding in accurate identification.
