Comparative and pan-genomic analyses of the endophytic fungus Pezicula neosporulosa
(Helotiales, Ascomycota) from needles of the relict fir, Abies beshanzuensis, showed …

Background Whereas an increasing number of pathogenic and mutualistic ascomycetous
species were sequenced in the past decade, species showing a seemingly neutral …

Foliar endophytic fungi (FEF) are diverse and ubiquitously associated with photosynthetic
land plants. However, processes shaping FEF assemblages remain poorly understood …

It has been hypothesized that endophytic fungi originate from local environmental sources,
and endophyte identity and composition can be predicted based on surrounding ex planta …

Powdery mildew fungi (Erysiphaceae), common obligate biotrophic pathogens of many
plants, including important agricultural and horticultural crops, represent a monophyletic …

A high number of fungal strains were isolated from roots of Brassicaceae species collected
across western and southern Europe, resulting in an unexpectedly rich collection of …

Abstract Background Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is one of the most important
species for temperate pastoral agriculture, forming associations with genetically diverse …

The biodiversity–functional relationship in fungal ecology was recently developed and
debated, but has rarely been addressed in endophytes. In this study, an integrative culture …

Recent advances in molecular methods have increased our understanding of various fungal
symbioses. However, little is known about genomic and microbiome features of most …

Dothideomycetes is the most diverse fungal class in Ascomycota and includes species with
a wide range of lifestyles. Previous multilocus studies have investigated the taxonomic and …
