1 INTRODUCTION Fungi constitute one of the most diverse groups of organisms on earth. They have adapted to inhabit essentially every corner of the world and take over fundamental roles in ecosystem functioning. And yet, our knowledge of fungal diversity is concerningly fragmentary with less than 8% of an estimated 2–6 million species formally described to date (Baldrian et al., 2021; GBIF Secretariat, 2023; Hawksworth & Lücking, 2017).
Phialocephala subalpina belongs to the Phialocephala fortinii s.l.–Acepphala applanata species complex (PAC) forming one of the major groups belonging to the dark septate endophytes (DSE). Depending on the strain, PAC was shown to form neutral to pathogenic associations with its host plant Picea abies. To understand PACs lifestyle we investigated the effect of presence/absence of Picea abies on the transcriptome of strain 6_70_1.
