The cycloundecapeptide cyclosporin A (CsA) was first isolated from the insect-pathogenic fungus Tolypocladium inflatum for its antifungal activity and later developed as an immunosuppressant drug. However, the full biosynthetic mechanism of CsA remains unknown and has puzzled researchers for decades. In this study, the biosynthetic gene cluster is suggested to...
Mixia osmundae (Basidiomycota, Pucciniomycotina) represents a monotypic class containing
an unusual fern pathogen with incompletely understood biology. We sequenced and analyzed
the genome of M. osmundae, focusing on genes that may provide some insight into its
mode of pathogenicity and reproductive biology.
Mixia osmundae has the smallest plant pathogenic basidiomycete...

Eucalypts are the world’s most widely planted hardwood trees. Their outstanding diversity, adaptability and growth have
made them a global renewable resource of fibre and energy. We sequenced and assembled >94% of the 640-megabase
genome of Eucalyptus grandis. Of 36,376 predicted protein-coding genes, 34% occur in tandem duplications, the largest...

In the Amazon the only described species
of Cordyceps sensu stricto (Hypocreales, Cordycipitaceae)
that parasitize insects of Orthopterida (orders
Orthoptera and Phasmida) are Cordyceps locustiphila
and C. uleana. However, the type specimens for both
taxa have been lost and the concepts of these species
are uncertain. To achieve a more...

Convergent evolution is common throughout the tree of life, but the molecular mechanisms
causing similar phenotypes to appear repeatedly are obscure. Yeasts have arisen in multiple
fungal clades, but the genetic causes and consequences of their evolutionary origins are
unknown. Here we show that the potential to develop yeast forms...
