The Gloeophyllales is a recently described order of Agaricomycotina containing a morphologically diverse array of polypores (Gloeophyllum), agarics (Neolentinus, Heliocybe) and resupinate fungi (VelutiVeluticeps, Boreostereum, Chaetodermella), most of which have been demonstrated to produce a brownrot mode of wood decay and are found preferentially on coniferous substrates. Multiple phylogeneti...

Lignin is a complex polyphenyl aromatic compound which exists in tight associations with cellulose and hemicellulose to form plant primary and secondary cell wall. Lignocellulose is an abundant renewable biomaterial present on the earth. It has gained much attention in the scientific community in recent years because of its potential applications in bio-based industries. Microbial degradation o...

Decaying wood plays an important role in forest biodiversity, nutrient cycling and carbon balance. Community structure of wood-inhabiting fungi changes with mass loss of wood, but the relationship between substrate quality and decomposers is poorly understood. This limits the extent to which these ecosystem services can be effectively managed. We studied the fungal community and physico-chemica...

Fungi secrete a set of glycoside hydrolases and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) to degrade plant polysaccharides. Brown-rot fungi, such as Gloeophyllum trabeum, tend to have few LPMOs, and information on these enzymes is scarce. The genome of G. trabeum encodes four auxiliary activity 9 (AA9) LPMOs (GtLPMO9s), whose coding sequences were amplified from cDNA. Due to alternative splic...

Tea (Camellia sp) is one of the most economically important plantation crops and second-largest non-alcoholic beverage in world next to water being consumed by people different forms. It cultivated mainly Assam, West Bengal covering regions such as Darjeeling, Dooars, Terai, Southern India about 6.36 lakh hectares with a production 1338 million Kg made teas. Darjeeling tea world-famous for its ...

Citrus production is declining worldwide due to several biotic and abiotic factors. The diseases caused by Phytophthora spp. present major economic risks since they are soil-borne spread quickly if environmental conditions favorable, or irrigation poorly managed. species in all citrus-producing areas around the world causing significant losses crop yield affecting tree health. Bark infection, d...

This study was performed in order to determine the distance of isolation for the seed potato production from ware potato in three regions of Ardabil, Namin and Nir. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five distances (100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 meters from ware potato) and three replications with Super Elite (SE) class of Agria potato cultivar from wa...
