Plant diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms represent a serious threat to plant
productivity, food security, and natural ecosystems. An effective framework for early warning …

Identification of fungi to the species level has some challenges because of great diversity in
morphology and ecology. Therefore, developing an efficient species recognition system …

The fungus Fusarium fujikuroi causes “bakanae” disease of rice due to its ability to produce
gibberellins (GAs), but it is also known for producing harmful mycotoxins. However, the …

Many fungi are pathogenic on plants and cause significant damage in agriculture and
forestry. They are also part of the natural ecosystem and may play a role in regulating plant …

Some soil fungi in the Leotiomycetes form ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) symbioses with
Ericaceae. In the harsh habitats in which they occur, ERM plant survival relies on nutrient …

Recent sequencing projects have provided deep insight into fungal lifestyle-associated
genomic adaptations. Here we report on the 25 Mb genome of the mutualistic root symbiont …

Species of Trichocomaceae occur commonly and are important to both industry and
medicine. They are associated with food spoilage and mycotoxin production and can occur …

The 5′-cap structure is a distinct feature of eukaryotic mRNAs, and eukaryotic viruses
generally modify the 5′-end of viral RNAs to mimic cellular mRNA structure, which is …

The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris is widely used for the production of proteins and as
a model organism for studying peroxisomal biogenesis and methanol assimilation. P …

Unlike most other fungi, molds of the genus Trichoderma (Hypocreales, Ascomycota) are
aggressive parasites of other fungi and efficient decomposers of plant biomass. Although …
