Comparative Analysis of Herbaceous and Woody Cell Wall Digestibility by Pathogenic Fungi
Molecules, 2021 Fungal pathogens have evolved combinations of plant cell-wall-degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) to deconstruct host plant cell walls (PCWs). An understanding of this process is hoped to create a basis for improving plant biomass conversion efficiency into ...
