Comparative genomics provides insights into the lifestyle and reveals functional heterogeneity of dark septate endophytic fungi

Abstract Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are a form-group of root endophytic fungi with elusive functions. Here, the genomes of two common DSE of semiarid areas, Cadophora sp. and Periconia macrospinosa were sequenced and analyzed with another 32 ascomycetes of different lifestyles. Cadophora sp. (Hel...
