Uncovering Diversity within the Glomeromycota: Novel Clades, Family Distributions, and Land Use Sensitivity by Camille S. Delavaux, Alexis Aellen, Sidney L. Stürmer, Silmar Primieri, Ursel M. E. Schütte, Devin M. Drown, Robert J. Ramos, Thomas W. Crowther, James D. Bever

“…Using a recently developed pipeline for phylogenetic placement of eDNA, we find evidence for three putative novel clades within the Glomeromycota, sister to Entrophosporaceae, Glomeraceae, and Archaeosporaceae, with evidence for geographic structuring. We further find that taxa in the Diversisporaceae, Glomeraceae, and Entrophosporaceae relatively high families are overrepresented and more diverse in temperate samples. …”

WILD SOUR CHERRY SPECIES OF THE CAUCASUS, CENTRAL ASIA AND THE FAR EAST AND THEIR USE IN BREEDING by A. A. Yushev, Yu. S. Orlova

“…Wild sour cherries from the Caucasus, Central Asia and the Far East introduced in the 1970–80s had a range of such important traits as immunity to fungal diseases, winter hardiness, drought resistance, restrained growth, vegetative reproduction ability, and were later used by Russian breeders for the development of new varieties and clonal rootstocks for growing cherries in various ecological and geographical areas of the country. The study of sour cherry samples collected in vivo helped in some cases to clarify some questions related to the range of polymorphism, taxonomic discrepancies, and the number of sour cherry varieties (Cerasus spp.) of Microcerasus prostrata (Labill.) …”
