Gene Regulation Shifts Shed Light on Fungal Adaption in Plant Biomass Decomposers
Fungi dominate the turnover of wood, Earth’s largest pool of aboveground terrestrial carbon. Fungi first evolved this capacity by degrading lignin to access and hydrolyze embedded carbohydrates (white rot). Multiple lineages, however, adapted faster reactive oxygen species (ROS) pretreatments to loo...
