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

Ascomycota account for about two-thirds of named fungal species. 1 Over 98% of known
Ascomycota belong to the Pezizomycotina, including many economically important species …

The Ascomycota form the largest phylum in the fungal kingdom and show a wide diversity of
lifestyles, some involving associations with plants. Genomic data are available for many …

Recent sequencing projects have provided deep insight into fungal lifestyle-associated
genomic adaptations. Here we report on the 25 Mb genome of the mutualistic root symbiont …

Basidiomycete yeasts have recently been reported as stably associated secondary fungal
symbionts of many lichens, but their role in the symbiosis remains unknown. Attempts to …

Many obligate symbiotic fungi are difficult to maintain in culture, and there is a growing need
for alternative approaches to obtaining tissue and subsequent genomic assemblies from …

From inconspicuous microorganisms to moulds to mushrooms, the biodiversity of
filamentous fungi is enormous. They are the major decomposers of plant-derived biomass …

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 …

As members of the plant microbiota, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycotina)
symbiotically colonize plant roots. AMF also possess their own microbiota, hosting some …

The most frequently encountered symbiont on tree roots is the ascomycete Cenococcum
geophilum, the only mycorrhizal species within the largest fungal class Dothideomycetes, a …
