Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
The order Sordariales contains some of the most famous fungi used in fundamental research (e.g., Neurospora crassa, Podospora anserina and Sordaria macrospora) or in industry, such as the thermophilic Chaetomiaceae. Although some cause dreadful mycetomas (i.e., Madurella spp.), few species live as parasites of plants and animals. However, ecological surveys indicate that they are among the most prevalent fungi in soils. Yet, the diversity and evolution of this important order of Ascomycota and those closely related belonging to the Sordariomycetidae lineage (Chaetosphaeriales, Coniochaetales, Cephalothecales, Vermiculariopsiellales, Phyllachorales, Pseudodactyriales, Boliniales…) are still poorly known. This Special Issue aims to increase the knowledge on these fungi. Papers describing new species, presenting insight into the phylogeny and evolution of these fungi will be welcomed, as well as studies improving knowledge on their physiology, development and ecology.
