Endophyte genomes support greater metabolic gene cluster diversity compared with non-endophytes in Trichoderma.

Trichoderma is a cosmopolitan genus with diverse lifestyles and nutritional modes, including mycotrophy, saprophytism, and endophytism. Previous research has reported greater metabolic gene repertoires in endophytic fungal species compared to closely-related non-endophytes. However, the extent of this ecological trend and its underlying mechanisms are unclear.

First Report of Causing Anthracnose of Snake Plant () in Ohio and its Draft Genome.

(Prain) Mabb. is a popular houseplant in the United States. In September 2021, two diseased samples from two Ohio homeowners were received by the Ornamental Pathology Laboratory at The Ohio State University.

Whole-Genome Sequence Data for the Holotype Strain of Diaporthe ilicicola, a Fungus Associated with Latent Fruit Rot in Deciduous Holly.

Diaporthe ilicicola is a newly described fungal species that is associated with latent fruit rot in deciduous holly. This announcement provides a whole-genome assembly and annotation for this plant pathogen, which will inform research on its parasitism and identification of gene clusters involved in the production of bioactive metabolites.
