Vertical and horizontal gene transfer shaped plant colonization and biomass degradation in the fungal genus Armillaria

Nature Microbiology, 2023
The fungal genus Armillaria contains necrotrophic pathogens and some of the largest terrestrial organisms that cause tremendous losses in diverse ecosystems, yet how they evolved pathogenicity in a clade of dominantly non-pathogenic wood degraders ...

Transcriptome analysis of Aspergillus niger xlnR and xkiA mutants grown on corn Stover and soybean hulls reveals a highly complex regulatory network

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Enzymatic plant biomass degradation by fungi is a highly complex process and one of the leading challenges in developing a biobased economy. Some industrial fungi (e.g.

Hallmarks of Basidiomycete Soft- and White-Rot in Wood-Decay -Omics Data of Two Armillaria Species

Microorganisms, 2021
Wood-decaying Basidiomycetes are among the most efficient degraders of plant cell walls, making them key players in forest ecosystems, global carbon cycle, and in bio-based industries. Recent insights from -omics data revealed a high functional diversity

The effects of degradation on alpine grassland resilience: A study based on meta-analysis data

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Alpine grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) provide irreplaceable ecosystem services to local and global communities. However, intensive human activities have caused severe grassland degradation during recent decades.

Effects of Land Use Changes on the Plant Community Characteristics in the Wetlands of the Semi-Arid Regions

Diversity, 2022
Human disturbance is the main driving factor of wetland vegetation degradation, and plant community changes can directly characterize the process of wetland degradation.

Ninety-nine de novo assembled genomes from the moose (Alces alces) rumen microbiome provide new insights into microbial plant biomass degradation

The ISME Journal, 2017
The moose (Alces alces) is a ruminant that harvests energy from fiber-rich lignocellulose material through carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) produced by its rumen microbes.

Enrichment and Broad Representation of Plant Biomass-Degrading Enzymes in the Specialized Hyphal Swellings of Leucoagaricus gongylophorus, the Fungal Symbiont of Leaf-Cutter Ants.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Leaf-cutter ants are prolific and conspicuous constituents of Neotropical ecosystems that derive energy from specialized fungus gardens they cultivate using prodigious amounts of foliar biomass.

Nitrogen addition delays the emergence of an aridity-induced threshold for plant biomass

National Science Review, 2023
Crossing certain aridity thresholds in global drylands can lead to abrupt decays of ecosystem attributes such as plant productivity, potentially causing land degradation and desertification. It is largely unknown, however, whether these thresholds can be

In silico Proteomic Analysis Provides Insights Into Phylogenomics and Plant Biomass Deconstruction Potentials of the Tremelalles

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Basidiomycetes populate a wide range of ecological niches but unlike ascomycetes, their capabilities to decay plant polymers and their potential for biotechnological approaches receive less attention. Particularly, identification and isolation of CAZymes
