Ascomycota account for about two-thirds of named fungal species.
ABSTRACT Bud formation is an adaptive trait that temperate forest trees have acquired to facilitate seasonal synchronization. We characterized transcriptome‐level changes occur during bud of white spruce [ Picea glauca (Moench) Voss], a primarily determinate species in which preformed stem units contained within the apical constitute most next season's growth. Microarray analysis identified 4460 differentially expressed sequences shoot tips short day‐induced formation. Cluster revealed...
In the autumn, stems of woody perennials such as forest trees undergo a transition from active growth to dormancy. We used microarray transcriptomic profiling in combination with proteomics analysis elucidate processes that occur during this growth-to-dormancy conifer, white spruce (Picea glauca[Moench] Voss). Several differentially expressed genes were likely associated developmental occurs cessation cambial zone and concomitant completion cell maturation vascular tissues. Genes encoding...
Abstract Fungi are well known for their ability to both produce and catabolize complex carbohydrates acquire carbon, often in the most extreme of environments. Glucuronoxylomannan (GXM)-based gel matrices widely produced by fungi nature though they key interest medicine pharmaceuticals, biodegradation is poorly understood. Though some organisms, including other fungi, adapted life on GXM-like nature, almost entirely unstudied, it unknown if involved matrix degradation. Sporothrix epigloea an...
In lichen research, metagenomes are increasingly being used for evaluating symbiont composition and metabolic potential, but the overall content limitations of these have not been assessed. We reassembled over 400 publicly available metagenomes, generated metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), constructed phylogenomic trees, mapped MAG occurrence frequency across data set. Ninety-seven percent 1,000 recovered MAGs were bacterial or fungal that provides most cellular mass. Our mapping detailed...
