Approximately a tenth of all described fungal species can cause diseases in plants. A
common feature of this process is the necessity to pass through the plant cell wall, an …

SUMMARY Taxonomy: Kingdom Fungi; Phylum Ascomycota; Class Sordariomycetes; Order
Hypocreales; Family Nectriaceae; genus Fusarium. Host range: Very broad at the species …

Plant biomass degradation by fungi requires a diverse set of secreted enzymes and
significantly contributes to the global carbon cycle. Recent advances in genomic and …

Fungi play a major role in the global carbon cycle because of their ability to utilize plant
biomass (polysaccharides, proteins, and lignin) as carbon source. Due to the complexity and …

Rational engineering of filamentous fungi for improved cellulase production is hampered by
our incomplete knowledge of transcriptional regulatory networks. We therefore used the …

Neurospora crassa colonizes burnt grasslands in the wild and metabolizes both cellulose
and hemicellulose from plant cell walls. When switched from a favored carbon source such …

Hemicellulose, the second most abundant plant biomass fraction after cellulose, is widely
viewed as a potential substrate for the production of liquid fuels and other value-added …

Fusarium oxysporum is a well‐known soilborne plant pathogen that causes severe vascular
wilt in economically important crops worldwide. During the infection process, F. oxysporum …

Cellulose is recalcitrant to deconstruction to glucose for use in fermentation strategies for
biofuels and chemicals derived from lignocellulose. In Neurospora crassa, the …

Fusarium oxysporum, a ubiquitous soilborne pathogen, causes devastating vascular wilt in
more than 100 plant species and ranks 5th among the top 10 fungal plant pathogens. It has …
