#Whiterot are some #fungi of #Agaricomycetes that degrade cellulose, hemicellulose, and #lignin. Since lignin is often degraded first, the affected plant parts appear #whitish. I. Jofré-Fernández et al. (2023) found that white rot affects #reactive #oxygenspecies (#ROS), thus promoting #CO2 #efflux from #soils, which can be a climate-relevant factor.
