Endophytic fungi associated with selected aquatic plants, and were evaluated. sp. nov. and sp. nov. are introduced as novel taxa from spp. from Sri Lanka. is reported as a new geographical record, and are reported as novel host records in aquatic plants, while has been identified on the same host () in the North-Central Province of Sri Lanka. Identification of the fungi was based on morphological characteristics and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses using ITS, LSU, SSU, , 1, , 2, 2, and 1-α molecular markers. The identified fungi were analysed for extracellular enzymatic properties. According to the qualitative analysis, sp. nov. exhibited the highest amylase production, exhibited the highest cellulase enzyme production, and sp. nov. exhibited the highest laccase production. The results demonstrate the aquatic fungal diversity in this region and their extracellular enzymatic potentials, providing valuable insights for future biotechnological approaches.

Common reed () is a cosmopolitan species, though its dieback is a worldwide phenomenon. In order to assess the evolutionary role of phenotypic plasticity in a successful plant, the values and plasticity of photophysiological traits of were investigated in the Lake Fertő wetlands at 5 sites with different degrees of reed degradation and along a seasonal sequence. On the one hand, along the established ecological degradation gradient, photophysiological traits of changed significantly, affecting plant productivity, although no consistent gradient-type trends were observed.

As the global population continues to grow, the use of pesticides to increase food production is projected to escalate. Pesticides are critical in plant protection, offering a powerful defense against fungal diseases such as apple scab, leaf spot, sclerotinia rot, damping off, sheath blight, and root rot, which threaten crops like cereals, corn, cotton, soybean, sugarcane, tuberous vegetables, and ornamentals. Succinate Dehydrogenase Inhibitor (SDHI) fungicides represent a novel class essential for controlling fungal pathogens and bolstering food security.

The stepped paddy fields (SPFs) are important for food security and sustainable development. The unique spatial structure and complex hydrological processes in this system make it difficult to understand the migration of pollutants. In this study, microplastic pollution was investigated in the water and soil from Ziquejie SPFs, China.

Flexible electronics have been rapidly advancing and have garnered significant interest in monitoring physiological activities and health conditions. However, flexible electronics are prone to detachment in humid environments, so developing human-friendly flexible electronic devices that can effectively monitor human movement under various aquatic conditions and function as flexible electrodes remains a significant challenge. Here, we report a strongly adherent, self-healing, and swelling-resistant conductive hydrogel formed by combining the dual synergistic effects of hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions.
