Description
Abiodun Azeez and co-authors map fungi on oil palm trees with leaf spot disease in 2024. Plants and their microbes act as one living unit, yet microbe effects on palm health are little studied. The team compares fungi on sick and healthy trees across leaf, root, and soil.
Gene reads from twenty-nine samples found fourteen fungal groups, with two groups dominating. One genus led on healthy leaves, while another led overall on sick trees. Soil from healthy trees held the richest marker set. Both sick and healthy leaves shared fungi linked to the disease, a surprise the authors flag for follow-up.
