Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is the continuation of our previous Special Issues, ”Fungal Biology and Interactions" and “Fungal Biology and Interactions—2nd Edition”.

Interactions involving fungi are of fundamental importance to human life and in biotechnological processes. Thus, in this Special Issue on “Fungal Biology and Interactions—3rd Edition", we aim to present new research and trends regarding fungi–fungi, fungi–plants, fungi–environment, and fungi–microbial community interactions. Articles to be submitted should address basic biology, molecular interactions, cell signaling, pathogen–host relationships, climate change, biofuels and biomaterials, and sustainable agriculture.

Reviews, original research, and communications are welcome.

Prof. Dr. Renato Graciano de Paula
Dr. Roberto Nascimento Silva
