Trichoderma (Hypocrea) Species with Green Ascospores from China
This research discovered and described new species of fungi from the genus Trichoderma in China. These fungi are important because they have many practical applications in agriculture and industry. The study used both traditional methods of examining fungal structures and modern DNA analysis to identify the species. Impacts on everyday life: – These fungi can be used as natural pesticides to protect crops from diseases – Some species produce enzymes useful in industrial processes – The fungi can help promote plant growth, leading to better crop yields – They have potential applications in breaking down waste materials – Understanding fungal diversity helps in developing new biotechnology applications
