During pathogen attack, plants recruit beneficial microbes in a ‘cry for help’ to mitigate disease development. Simultaneously, pathogens secrete effectors to promote host colonisation through vario...

Saprotrophic and endophytic xylarialean fungi are among the most prolific producers of bioactive secondary metabolites, with numerous industrial uses as antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, and insecticidal ...

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzymes catalyze the interconversion of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate with an efficiency exceeded only by superoxide dismutase. CA enzymes have convergently evolved multiple t...

Nature Reviews Genetics - Controlling for phylogeny is essential in comparative genomics studies, because species, genomes and genes are not independent data points within statistical tests. The...

Xylariales is one of the largest and most ecologically diverse fungal orders. Xylarialean fungi are well-known for their chemical diversity, reflecting a hyperdiversity of biosynthetic gene clusters (...
