Summary: Mycoviruses have been found to have effects on host fungi, altering cellular activities at the molecular level in a virus-and host strain-dependent manner. The study also revealed that even a difference of only three bases in the virus genome can lead to different transcriptional responses in host fungi. These results highlight the highly specific relationship between viruses and their host fungi.

Summary: Full taxonomic characterisation of fungal communities is important for ecological associations and early detection of pathogens and invasive species. Metabarcoding of ITS2 and LSU D1-D2 regions can be used to characterise fungal communities, but relying on a single short sequence fragment may limit identification confidence. Using phylogenetic analysis of OTU sequences, higher success rate and greater accuracy of species identification can be achieved.

Summary: DNA barcoding has been developed as a powerful tool in taxonomy, but the accuracy of sequences and related raw information in public repositories is often questionable. In this study, the genetic differences within and between species in 68,089 Hemiptera COI barcode sequences were analyzed, revealing that errors in the barcode data are not rare and mostly due to human errors. Suggestions are provided to improve the practical operations and workflow of DNA barcoding to reduce human errors.

Summary: This study compared the genomic differences between pathogenic and endophytic species of the fungal genus Phyllosticta colonizing citrus plants. Several genomic differences were found between species with different lifestyles, including groups of genes that were only present in pathogens or endophytes. The study also revealed that species were clustered based on their carbohydrate active enzymes, independent of their phylogenetic association, and this clustering correlated with trophy prediction. Moreover, it was found that Phyllosticta citrichinaensis exhibited an intermediate lifestyle, sharing genomic and phenotypic attributes of both pathogens and endophytes.
