Aim: As a highly valued fungus, Cordyceps militaris has been widely used all over the world. Although wild resources of C. are limited, fruiting bodies have successfully cultivated on large-scale with limited Cordycepin production. However, high-frequency degeneration during subculture and preservation seriously limits development industry.
 Methods Results: In this study, three different ...

one of the important technical obstacles in the study of many filamentous fungi is the development of efficient transformation system. transformation of filamentous fungi is difficult because they have a cell wall and for most frequently used approaches preparing of protoplast is necessary. protoplast preparation is batch-dependent and often frustrating work. in this study, a modified method wa...

Epichloë species (including the former genus Neotyphodium) are fungal symbionts of many agronomically important forage grasses, and provide their grass hosts with protection from a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses. Epichloë species include many interspecific hybrids with allodiploid-like genomes, which may provide the potential for combined traits or recombination to generate new trait...
