WC1/WC2–Sre1 Transcriptional Cascade Controls Predation and Chlamydospore Formation in the Nematode‐Trapping Fungus Arthrobotrys flagrans

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
Systematic functional characterization of all eight GATA‐type transcription factors in the nematode‐trapping fungus Arthrobotrys flagrans reveals a novel, light‐independent WC1/WC2–Sre1 transcriptional cascade that orchestrates both trap formation and chlamydospore development, providing actionable targets for engineering superior biocontrol strains ...

Fusarium sacchari 14‐3‐3 Protein FsBmh1 Sequesters a Novel Elicitor FsEcm33 to Evade Host Immunity

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
When the elicitor FsEcm33 is sprayed onto Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, it enters the apoplast, triggering PAMP‐triggered immunity (PTI) that depends on NbRE02, NbBAK1, and NbSOBIR1. However, upon Fusarium sacchari infection, FsBmh1 binds FsEcm33 to prevent its localization on the cell surface, escaping PTI to allow colonization.

Cloning, isolation, and characterization of novel chitinase-producing bacterial strain UM01 (Myxococcus fulvus)

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Background Chitin is an important biopolymer next to cellulose, extracted in the present study. The exoskeleton of marine bycatch brachyuran crabs, namely Calappa lophos, Dromia dehaani, Dorippe facchino and also from stomatopod Squilla spp. were used to

Potential Virulence Factors in Pyrenophora teres Through Label‐Free Cellular Proteomics Analysis

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
This study presents the first label‐free proteomic profile of Pyrenophora teres, identifying potential virulence factors unique to virulent isolates. These proteins were mapped to the P. teres f. teres reference genome and previously identified virulence QTL, providing a valuable resource for future research. ABSTRACT Pyrenophora teres f.

Chitin-deacetylase activity induces appressorium differentiation in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae

, 2017
The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae differentiates a specialized infection structure called an appressorium to invade rice cells. In this report, we show that CBP1, which encodes a chitin-deacetylase, is involved in the induction phase of ...

Wheat's war against stripe rust: Integrating host immunity, genomics and breeding for durable resistance

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a foundation of global food security, faces persistent threats from stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). The pathogen thrives in cool and humid environments and regularly causes epidemics that lead to severe yield losses.

Bioconversion of chitin-containing wastes for the production of enzymes and bioactive materials

, 2011
The exploitation of chitinous materials seems to be an infinite treasure. The oligosaccharides of chitin/chitosan, prepared by hydrolyzing chitin/chitosan with chitinase/chitosanase, have various potential applications in the fields of food, agricultural,

Host‐Induced Silencing of Rhizoctonia Solani 5‐Enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐Phosphate Synthase Impairs Its Virulence in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3573-3593, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Sheath blight disease of rice caused by the fungal pathogen R. solani AG1‐IA remains a big threat to rice production worldwide. A limited genetic variation in rice for tolerance to this pathogen and little success in understanding how it defeats host defence are major reasons behind it.

Inhibition of chitin deacetylases to attenuate plant fungal diseases

Nature Communications, 2023
Phytopathogenic fungi secrete chitin deacetylase (CDA) to escape the host’s immunological defense during infection. Here, we showed that the deacetylation activity of CDA toward chitin is essential for fungal virulence.
