White‐rot fungi efficiently degrade wood lignin; however, the mechanisms involved remain
largely unknown. Recently, a forward genetics approach to identify several genes in …

Abstract Lignin‐modifying enzymes (LMEs), which include laccases (Lacs), manganese
peroxidases (MnPs), versatile peroxidases (VPs), and lignin peroxidases (LiPs), have been …

Pleurotus ostreatus, also known as the oyster mushroom, is a popular edible mushroom
cultivated worldwide. This review aims to survey recent progress in the molecular genetics of …

The oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus is a basidiomycete commonly found in the rotten
wood and it is one of the most cultivated edible mushrooms globally. Pleurotus ostreatus is …

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated
protein 9 (Cas9)-assisted gene targeting is a promising method used in molecular breeding …

In nature, white-rot fungi efficiently degrade lignin present in wood biomass. Elucidation of
molecular mechanisms underlying wood lignin biodegradation by white-rot fungi would …

White-rot fungi secrete numerous enzymes involved in lignocellulose degradation. However,
the secretory mechanisms or pathways, including protein synthesis, folding, modification …

The white-rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus is an agaricomycete that is frequently used in
molecular genetics studies as many useful tools are applicable to the fungus. In particular …

Distinct wood degraders occupying their preferred habitats have biased enzyme repertoires
that are well fitted to their colonized substrates. Pleurotus ostreatus, commonly found on …

Fungi from the Pleurotus genus secrete different enzymes, including laccases, manganese
peroxidases, versatile peroxidases, glycosyl hydrolases, peptidases, and esterases/lipases …
