The development of high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies has greatly improved
our capacity to identify fungi and unveil their ecological roles across a variety of ecosystems …

Alternaria alternata is a common species of fungus frequently isolated from plants as both an
endophyte and a pathogen. Although the current definition of A. alternata rests on a …

Abstract UNITE (https://unite. ut. ee) is a web-based database and sequence management
environment for molecular identification of eukaryotes. It targets the nuclear ribosomal …

Fungi play vital roles in ecosystems as endophytes, pathogens and saprobes. The current
estimate of fungal diversity is highly uncertain, ranging from 1.5 to 12 million, but only …

The fungal gut microbiota (mycobiota) has been implicated in diseases that disturb gut

 Abstract Fungal metabarcoding of substrates such as soil, wood, and water is uncovering
an unprecedented number of fungal species that do not seem to produce tangible …

Culture techniques are vital in both traditional and modern fungal taxonomy. Establishing
sexual–asexual links and synanamorphs, extracting DNA and secondary metabolites are …

Abstract Knowledge of associations between fungal hosts and their bacterial associates has
steadily grown in recent years as the number and diversity of examinations have increased …

All aspects of biodiversity research, from taxonomy to conservation, rely on data associated
with species names. Effective integration of names across multiple fields is paramount and …

Reference databases with wide taxonomic coverage are greatly needed in many fields of
biology, most particularly for the taxonomic assignment of metabarcoding sequences …
