Wood-water relationships and their role for wood susceptibility to fungal decay

C Brischke, G Alfredsen - Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 2020 - Springer
Wood in service is sequestering carbon, but it is principally prone to deterioration where
different fungi metabolize wood, and carbon dioxide is released back to the atmosphere. A …

Gene regulation shifts shed light on fungal adaption in plant biomass decomposers
