  • PPIase numbers within these fungal repertoires appears associated with genome size and orthology between repertoires was found to be low. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Also, the repertoire of Cryptococcus neoformans may represent a better model fungal system within which to study the functions of the PPIases as its genome size and genetic tractability are equal to those of Saccharomyces cerevisiae , whilst its repertoires exhibits greater orthology to that of humans. (biomedcentral.com)
  • According to the last author of the study Stéphane Hacquard, "These results indicate that repertoires of plant cell-wall degrading enzymes in fungal genomes are key genetic determinants driving access to the root endosphere and explaining why robust root colonizers can potentially become harmful if they degrade roots too aggressively.
