Fungi have developed a plethora of strategies to colonize plants, and these interactions
result in a broad spectrum of outcomes ranging from beneficial interactions to death of the …

Trichoderma species are opportunistic fungi residing primarily in soil, tree bark and on wild
mushrooms. Trichoderma is capable of killing other fungi and penetrating plant roots, and is …

Background The dominant fungi in arid grasslands and shrublands are members of the
Ascomycota phylum. Ascomycota fungi are important drivers in carbon and nitrogen cycling …

Microbial eukaryotes are integral components of natural microbial communities, and their
inclusion is critical for many ecosystem studies, yet the majority of published metagenome …

Pathogens secrete effector proteins to subvert host physiology and cause disease. Effectors
are engaged in a molecular arms race with the host resulting in conflicting evolutionary …

Abstract Knowledge of genetic determinism and evolutionary dynamics mediating host-
pathogen interactions is essential to manage fungal plant diseases. Studies on the genetic …

The plant secretome is usually considered in the frame of proteomics, aiming at
characterizing extracellular proteins, their biological roles and the mechanisms accounting …

Epidemics caused by fungal plant pathogens pose a major threat to agro-ecosystems and
impact global food security. High-throughput sequencing enabled major advances in …

Background Verticillium dahliae is a fungal pathogen that causes a vascular wilt on many
economically important crops. Common fungal extracellular membrane (CFEM) domain …

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