Collectively classified as white-rot fungi, certain basidiomycetes efficiently degrade the
major structural polymers of wood cell walls. A small subset of these Agaricomycetes …

Canker caused by ascomycetous Valsa species are among the most destructive diseases of
woody plants worldwide. These pathogens are distinct from other pathogens because they …

Wood-degrading fungi vary in their strategies for deconstructing wood, and their competitive
successes shape the rate and fate of carbon released from wood, Earth's largest pool of …

Background Ophiostoma piceae is a wood-staining fungus that grows in the sapwood of
conifer logs and lumber. We sequenced its genome and analyzed its transcriptomes under a …

Because they comprise some of the most efficient wood‐decayers, Polyporales fungi impact
carbon cycling in forest environment. Despite continuous discoveries on the enzymatic …
