Biosynthesis and functions of fungal melanins
Abstract
Beneficial microbes in the microbiome of plant roots improve plant health. Induced systemic resistance (ISR) emerged as an important mechanism by which selected plant growth–promoting bacteria and fungi in the rhizosphere prime the whole plant body for ...Read More

Based on intermediate metabolites in their synthesis pathways, fungal melanins are classified into four types: GDBH melanin, catechol melanin, DOPA melanin, and DHN melanin.
“Based on intermediate metabolites in their synthesis pathways, they are classified into four types: γ-glutaminyl-3,4-dihydroxybenzene (GDBH melanin), catechol melanin, DOPA melanin, and 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN melanin) [16].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
