This volume addresses the similarities and also the differences in
the genomes of soil saprophytes, symbionts, and plant pathogens by
using examples of fungal species to illustrate particular
principles. It analyzes how the specific interactions with the
hosts and the influence of the environment may have shaped genome
evolution. The relevance of fungal genetic research and
biotechnological applications is shown for areas such as plant
pathogenesis, biomass degradation, litter decomposition, nitrogen
assimilation, antibiotic production, mycoparasitism, energy,
ecology, and also for soil fungi turning to human pathogens. In
addition to the model organisms Neurospora and Aspergillus, the
following species are covered providing a view of pathogens and
mutualists: Trichoderma, Fusarium oxysporum, Cochliobolus
heterostrophus, Penicillium chrysogenum, Rhizopus oryzae, Podospora
anserina, and species belonging to Agaricomycetes,
Archaeorhizomycetes and Magnaporthaceae. Ecology and potential
applications have guided the choice of fungal genes to be studied
and it will be fascinating to follow the trends of future
sequencing projects.
