rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10–15 …

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 …

Traditionally, fungal taxonomy was based on observable phenotypic characters. Recent
advances have driven taxonomic conclusions towards DNA-based approaches and these …

Dothideomycetes comprise a highly diverse range of fungi characterized mainly by asci with
