The Ectomycorrhizal Community of Crimean Linden Trees in Warsaw, Poland

Forests (2020)

Jacek Olchowik Marzena Suchocka Tadeusz Malewski Aneta H. Baczewska-Dąbrowska Marcin Studnicki

Urban trees provide many ecosystem services essential to city dwellers well-being. Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are symbionts for trees and may also contribute to urban tree health and thus maintenance of the ecosystem services. However, no studies so far have analysed the composition of the ECM community colonising Crimean linden. In this study we investigated ECM associations of Crimean linden trees in the urban environment, comparing street trees with those growing in a park. Moreover, we studied the ECM community of healthy versus unhealthy linden trees growing along a street. The health status of each tree was assessed using tree health indicators. The smallest degree ECM colonisation was observed in unhealthy street trees (40.5%). Cenococcum geophilum was found to be the most abundant ECM fungal species of the Crimean linden growing in the park (23.9%). Our results suggest that the linden trees growing in the park and those growing along the street but without disease symptoms did not differ in their ECM richness. However, the unhealthy street trees showed less ECM diversity and abundance. Moreover, strong negative correlations between the concentrations of Na and Cl in the soil and ECM colonisation were found. This study describes, for the first time, the ECM fungal community on Tilia “Euchlora” trees grown in Europe. We report novel findings on the ECM associations of Crimean linden trees in an urban ecosystem. Further research should focus on the role of native mycorrhizal fungal communities in nutrient acquisition by urban trees in the presence of salt stress.

Identification of Necrophagous Beetles (Coleoptera) Using Low-Resolution Real-Time Pcr in the Buffer Zone of Kampinos National Park

Tadeusz Malewski Katarzyna Leszczyńska Katarzyna Daria Borzuchowska Maciej Sierakowski Tomasz Oszako

Forensic entomology is concerned with the study of insects and other arthropods that assist in criminal investigations. Among them, necrophagous beetles (Coleoptera) play a crucial role as they are found in all stages of decomposition of corpses, which makes them valuable for forensic analysis regardless of the time period. Accurate species identification is crucial for the effective use of entomological evidence. Efficient, cost-effective and rapid methods are essential for this purpose. In the present study, we developed a novel assay that enables simple, inexpensive and rapid identification of necrophagous beetle species. Using two primer sets targeting the cytochrome c oxidase 1 (COI) gene and analysing the resulting SYBR Green I melting curves, we were able to identify fourteen beetle species: Aleochara curtula, Anoplotrupes stercorosus, Creophilus maxillosus, Dermestes undulatus, Hister unicolor, Margarinotus brunneus, Necrodes littoralis, Nicrophorus vespilloides, Ontholestes murinus, Oiceoptoma thoracicum, Philonthus cognatus, Saprinus planiusculus, Silpha tristis, and Thanatophilus rugosus. Data on the melting temperature of the amplicon can be obtained within 60–90 minutes after DNA extraction. The results contribute to the understanding of necrophagous Coleoptera in Poland and provide for the first time comprehensive data on necrophagous beetles in the vicinity of the Kampinos National Park.

The Mycobiota Diversity Associated with Mistletoe (Viscum album L.) in Poland

Forests (2024)

Tomasz Pawłowicz Tomasz Oszako Piotr Borowik Tadeusz Malewski Roberto Faedda

The spread of mistletoe, which mainly affects Scots pine in Europe’s managed forests, has become a serious ecological and economic problem, exacerbated by climate change and drought stress. Research into mistletoe-associated mycobiota provides crucial insights into the biology, ecology and distribution of these fungi and forms the basis for sustainable plant protection and effective management strategies. The aim of this study was to identify the fungal species associated with mistletoe (Viscum album L.) at 75 sites across Poland, with a focus on the northeastern regions of the country. The field work included a systematic and targeted search using the transect method, followed by laboratory analysis, during which fungal samples were prepared and examined under both light and scanning electron microscopes. The genetic analysis was carried out using ITS sequencing to confirm the presence of pathogen-specific fungi in the majority of V. album samples examined. The results showed four fungal species associated with the mycobiota of mistletoe: Sphaeropsis visci, Plenodomus visci, Cylindrodendrum hubeiense and Septoria krystynae. It is noteworthy that two of these species (P. visci and C. hubeiense) have not yet been detected in Poland. Based on these findings, the distribution areas of the identified fungal species were mapped accordingly.

Changes in DNA-binding activity of transcription factors in the differentiating bovine mammary gland

Animal Science Papers and Reports (2005)

Tadeusz Malewski Małgorzata Gajewska L. Zwierzchowski

Our earlier studies carried out in silico demonstrated that different transcription factors have their putative binding sites in the 5’-flanking regions of bovine milk protein genes. Now we extended our study to include the experimental analysis of these transcription factors. This study on electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) of nuclear proteins derived from bovine mammary glands showed for the first time the presence there of CREB, NF- κB, Oct1 and Sp1 transcription factors. The pattern of DNA-protein complexes of Sp1 transcription factor significantly differed between virgin heifers and lactating cows. Transition from pregnancy to lactation was associated with changes in the DNAprotein binding patterns of NFI and Oct1 transcription factors. One of the most interesting and important problems in molecular biology is mechanism underlying in tissue- and stage-specific gene expression. Control of gene expression at the transcriptional level requires interactions of transcription factors and their binding sites in a gene promoter or enhancer. Mammary gland epithelial cells are highly specialized for the synthesis of limited number of proteins during lactation and involution. Most of the mRNAs expressed in the bovine mammary gland during lactation encode caseins and whey proteins, which account for approximately 95% of milk proteins [Karal-Albrecht et al. 2000]. Regulation of milk protein genes has com

The ectomycorrhizal community of urban linden trees in Gdańsk, Poland

PLoS ONE (2021)

Jacek Olchowik Marzena Suchocka Paweł Jankowski Tadeusz Malewski Dorota Hilszczańska

The linden tree ( Tilia spp.) is a popular tree for landscaping and urban environments in central and northwest European countries, and it is one of the most popular in cities in Poland. Ectomycorrhizal fungi form a symbiosis with many urban tree species and protect the host plant from heavy metals and against salinity. The aim of this study was to characterise the ECM fungal community of urban linden trees along the tree damage gradient. The study was performed on two sites located in the centre of the city of Gdańsk, in northern Poland. The vitality assessment of urban linden trees was made according to Roloff’s classification. Tree damage classes were related to soil characteristics using principal component analysis. The five ectomycorrhizal fungal species were shared among all four tree damage classes, and Cenococcum geophilum was found to be the most abundant and frequent ectomycorrhizal fungal species in each class. Soil samples collected in the vicinity of trees belonging to the R0 class had significantly lower pH Na, Cl and Pb content than other soils. Our knowledge of ectomycorrhizal communities in urban areas is still limited, and these findings provide new insights into ectomycorrhizal distribution patterns in urban areas.

Bursaphelenchus tiliae sp. n. (Nematoda: Parasitaphelenchidae), a nematode associate of the bark beetle Ernoporus tiliae (Panz.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae), in small-leaved lime, Tilia cordata Mill.

Nematology (2014)

Marek Tomalak Tadeusz Malewski

Bursaphelenchus tiliae sp. n. is described from the bark of dead branches of the small-leaved lime, Tilia cordata , infested with the lime bark beetle, Ernoporus tiliae . The nematode adults and propagative juveniles were present in larval galleries, while dispersal dauer juveniles colonised the Malpighian tubules of adult beetles. Bursaphelenchus tiliae sp. n. is characterised by the body length of 664 (568-817) μm in female and 622 (515-754) μm in male, moderately slender body (a = 41.0 (34.7-47.9) and 43.1 (37.8-51.9) in female and male, respectively), and spicules 20.0 (18.1-21.8) μm long. The extended anterior vulval lip in female, lateral fields with four incisures, long post-uterine sac, and number (7) and arrangement of male caudal papillae, may indicate that B. tiliae sp. n. is closely related to the xylophilus group. It differs from this group by smaller, arcuate spicules with relatively short rostrum, narrow capitulum (5.2-6.9 μm), and indistinct condylus in an almost continuous line with dorsal lamina. Distal third of spicule dorsal contour is usually almost straight. The spicules have a distinct, disk-like cucullus at the terminus. The status of the new species is confirmed by the unique molecular profile of the ITS region (ITS-RFLP) and its close relation to the xylophilus group by DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the 28S rDNA region. The presence of B. tiliae sp. n. dauer juveniles in Malpighian tubules of their vector bark beetle, E. tiliae , caused limited pathogenicity expressed as a local expansion of the tubule basement membrane and partial degradation of the cellular epithelium.
