AlphaFold modeling uncovers global structural features of class I and class II fungal hydrophobins. [PDF]
Protein SciAbstract Hydrophobins are a family of small fungal proteins that self‐assemble at hydrophobic–hydrophilic interfaces. Hydrophobins not only play crucial roles in filamentous fungal growth and development but also have attracted substantial attention due to their unique material properties.

Establishment and micropropagation of axenic in vitro cultures of salt marsh grasses within the genus <i>Sporobolus</i>. [PDF]
Appl Plant SciAbstract Premise Salt marshes in the North Atlantic United States are dominated by grasses from the genus Sporobolus, which are perennial C4 plants known for tolerating saline, anoxic, and flooded coastal sediments. Establishing in vitro cultures of Sporobolus species remains a major challenge due to frequent seed contamination from ergot and ...

Epichloë Endophyte-Promoted Seed Pathogen Increases Host Grass Resistance Against Insect Herbivory
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Plants host taxonomically and functionally complex communities of microbes. However, ecological studies on plant–microbe interactions rarely address the role of multiple co-occurring plant-associated microbes.

Pleomorphic conidiation in Claviceps [PDF]
Mycological Research, 2004 Types of asexual sporulation in 17 Claviceps species and the closely related Corallocytostroma ornicopreoides were revised in relation to the phylogeny of clavicipitaceous fungi. We observed: (1) enteroblastic conidiation from branched phialidic conidiophores typical of the genus (anamorph Sphacelia) in all species including Corallocytostroma; (2 ...

Exploring the Influence of Insect Honeydew on Plant Physiology and Health: Bridging the Gap in Current Understanding. [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT Honeydew, a sugary excretion from sap‐feeding insects, significantly influences plant‐insect interactions. While extensive research has examined honeydew's composition, regulation, and role in insect‐plant relationships, its direct effects on plant physiology and health remain understudied.
