Laccase Activity in Fungus <i>Cryphonectria parasitica</i> Is Affected by Growth Conditions and Fungal–Viral Genotypic Interactions
Laccase activity reduction in the chestnut blight fungus <i>Cryphonectria parasitica</i> usually accompanies the hypovirulence caused by the infection of fungus with <i>Cryphonectria hypovirus 1</i> (CHV1). However, the different methods utilized for assessing this phenomenon...
