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 …

The assembly of ribosomal subunits is a highly orchestrated process that involves a huge
cohort of accessory factors. Most eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis factors were first identified …

True fungi (Fungi) and fungus-like organisms (eg Mycetozoa, Oomycota) constitute the
second largest group of organisms based on global richness estimates, with around 3 …

Empirical evidence for the response of soil carbon cycling to the combined effects of
warming, drought and diversity loss is scarce. Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) plays a …

High throughput sequencing of PCR amplicons derived from environmental DNA (aka DNA
metabarcoding) has become an integral part of fungal ecology, enabling in-depth …

The interiors of plants are colonized by diverse microorganisms that are referred to as
endophytes. Endophytes have received much attention over the past few decades, yet many …

The roots of Arabidopsis thaliana host diverse fungal communities that affect plant health
and disease states. Here, we sequence the genomes of 41 fungal isolates representative of …

Yeasts affiliated with the Metschnikowia pulcherrima clade (subclade) of the large
ascomycetous genus Metschnikowia frequently turn out to produce the characteristic …

Amplicon sequencing of partial regions of the ribosomal RNA loci (rDNA) is widely used to
profile microbial communities. However, the rDNA is dynamic and can exhibit substantial …

Microorganisms from all domains of life establish associations with plants. Although some
harm the plant, others antagonize pathogens or prime the plant immune system, support the …
