Rust fungi (Pucciniales) are the most speciose and the most complex group of plant pathogens.
Historically, rust taxonomy was largely influenced by host and phenotypic characters, …

Heritable symbioses, in which endosymbiotic bacteria (EB) are transmitted vertically between
host generations, are an important source of evolutionary novelties. A primary example of …

Forest soil microbiomes have crucial roles in carbon storage, biogeochemical cycling and
rhizosphere processes. Wildfire season length, and the frequency and size of severe fires …

N6-methyldeoxyadenine (6mA) is a noncanonical DNA base modification present at low levels
in plant and animal genomes 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , but its prevalence and association with genome …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is a widespread mutualism formed between vascular
plants and fungi of the Glomeromycota. In this endosymbiosis, fungal hyphae enter the roots…

Cellulosomes are large, multiprotein complexes that tether plant biomass-degrading enzymes
together for improved hydrolysis 1. These complexes were first described in anaerobic …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important members of the plant microbiome. They
are obligate biotrophs that colonize the roots of most land plants and enhance host nutrient …

Algae are a diverse, polyphyletic group of photosynthetic eukaryotes spanning nearly all
eukaryotic lineages of life and collectively responsible for ∼50% of photosynthesis on Earth. …

Most of the described species in kingdom Fungi are contained in two phyla, the Ascomycota
and the Basidiomycota (subkingdom Dikarya). As a result, our understanding of the biology …

The first genome sequenced of a eukaryotic organism was for Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as
reported in 1996, but it was more than 10 years before any of the zygomycete fungi, which …
