Background RNA interference (RNAi) is involved in genome defense as well as diverse
cellular, developmental, and physiological processes. Key components of RNAi are …

Intragenomic variation is the molecular variation within the genome among repetitive DNA.
As a multigene family, nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) has been widely used in fungal …

Nuclei of arbuscular endomycorrhizal fungi have been described as highly diverse due to
their asexual nature and absence of a single cell stage with only one nucleus. This has …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in eukaryotic cells. However, there
is no report of lncRNAs in endophytic fungi Calcarisporium arbuscula. Here, in …

Morphological characters and nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) phylogenies have so far been
the basis of the current classifications of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Improved …

There is no consensus barcoding region for determination of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal
(AMF) taxa. To overcome this obstacle, we have developed an approach to sequence an …

Arbuscular mycorrhizas are endosymbiotic associations formed between obligately
biotrophic arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and plant roots. The fungus and plant coexist in …

Genes in prokaryotic genomes are often arranged into clusters and co-transcribed into
polycistronic RNAs. Isolated examples of polycistronic RNAs were also reported in some …

Abstract Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play essential roles in
developmental processes and disease development at the transcriptional and post …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved mechanism suppressing gene expression mediated
by small RNA (sRNA). sRNA guides RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to target mRNA …
