Trichoderma in Action

Dear Colleagues,

Trichoderma is a cosmopolitan genus comprising species with great biotechnological impacts in the production of proteins, elicitors, bioactive molecules, and biocontrol, promoting plant growth and systemic resistance. In addition, it is used to understand many cellular processes. In this regard, the 16th International Trichoderma-Gliocladium Workshop (TG2024) was held at Lincoln University, New Zealand, under the theme "Trichoderma in Action". There were five sessions as follows:

1. Ecology, biodiversity, and taxonomy.
   Keywords: species diversity; habitats/environments; fungal versatility

2. Biology-omics, physiology, and biotechnical applications.
   Keywords: fungal genomes; transcript-/proteo-/metabolomics; secondary metabolism; gene manipulation; biofertilizers; enzyme production

3. Interaction with other microbes and animals.
   Keywords: microbial communities; rhizosphere competence; synergism; antagonism; insects; nematodes

4. Interaction with plants.
   Keywords: biocontrol; growth promotion; abiotic stress; plant defence systems; priming; induced systemic resistance

5. Product development.
   Keywords: formulation; application methods; patenting; commercialisation; markets; logistics

This Special Issue of the Journal of Fungi will include papers from these five sessions presented at TG2024.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Fungi is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
