The genus Trichoderma contains fungi with high relevance for humans, with applications in
enzyme production for plant cell wall degradation and use in biocontrol. Here, we provide a …

Sexual reproduction enables genetic exchange in eukaryotic organisms as diverse as fungi,
animals, plants, and ciliates. Given its ubiquity, sex is thought to have evolved once, possibly …

Massively parallel DNA sequencing technologies are revolutionizing genomics by making it
possible to generate billions of relatively short (~ 100-base) sequence reads at very low …

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 …

Metarhizium spp. are being used as environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical
insecticides, as model systems for studying insect-fungus interactions, and as a resource of …

Ninety percent of lignocellulose-degrading fungi contain genes encoding lytic
polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs). These enzymes catalyze the initial oxidative …

Schistosomiasis is one of the most prevalent parasitic diseases, affecting millions of people
in developing countries. Amongst the human-infective species, Schistosoma mansoni is also …
