Germination capabilities of Δbcbem1 conidia are impaired.

, 2014
Germination rates (A) and the germ tube morphology (B) are altered on hydrophobic surfaces. Conidial suspensions of strains (1×105/ml in H2O) were incubated on polypropylene foil in a humid chamber for 24 h.

Leaf Structure and Hormonal Balance Modulate Host‐Specificity and Pathogenicity of Botrytis cinerea

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Botrytis cinerea, a highly successful necrotrophic fungal plant pathogen, demonstrates a remarkably broad host range, yet the precise factors governing its host specificity and its ability to coexist non‐pathogenically with plants remain unclear. This study systematically assessed host preference in a series of B. cinerea agricultural isolates,

Verticillium dahliae CFEM Effector VdCR Stabilises the Susceptibility Factor GhAGP31 to Suppress Host Vascular Immunity and Promote Cotton Verticillium Wilt

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant pathogenic fungi secrete a wide array of effector proteins to manipulate host immunity, including those containing CFEM (Common in Fungal Extracellular Membranes) domains. Here, we identified a CFEM domain‐containing effector VdCR from Verticillium dahliae, the causal agent of cotton Verticillium wilt.

Virulent Fusarium isolates with diverse morphologies show similar invasion and colonization strategies in alfalfa

Frontiers in Plant Science
Root rot is a major disease that causes decline of alfalfa production, and Fusarium is a major pathogen associated with root rot. In this study, 13 Fusarium isolates were obtained from alfalfa with root rot in Gansu Province, the major alfalfa production

Pinus‐derived membrane vesicles disrupt pathogenic metabolism in fungi

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Needle‐derived vesicles from pine trees impair fungal metabolism and growth, offering a sustainable strategy to control pine pitch canker disease. Abstract Much of what we know about the biological impacts of vesicles (MVs) is derived from Arabidopsis thaliana.

The roles of ascospores and conidia of Pyrenopeziza brassicae in light leaf spot epidemics on winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus ) in the UK

, 2001
Ascospores of Pyrenopeziza brassicae were produced in apothecia (cup-shaped ascomata) on oilseed rape debris. The conidia, which were morphologically identical to the ascospores, were produced in acervular conidiomata on the surface of living oilseed ...

Limited restoration of plant microbiomes: insights from fungal assemblages of a peatland dominant

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Plants are not solitary organisms; they host diverse and largely unexplored microbiomes that shape their health, adaptability, and ecosystem roles. Recent environmental sequencing findings have revealed that each plant species harbors a unique fungal assemblage.

Beyond a dual role: how Purpureocillium lilacinum reprograms citrus metabolism for integrated biocontrol and growth promotion

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 15, Page 9778-9793, December 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plants harbor complex microbial communities that are fundamental to their health and productivity. Among them, endophytic fungi such as Purpureocillium lilacinum establish mutualistic associations, offering dual benefits as plant growth promoters and biocontrol agents.

Integrated Phenotypic and Genome‐Informed Characterization of Environmental Aspergillus Isolates With Potential for Citric Acid Production

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 6, December 2026.
Environmental Aspergillus isolates recovered from banana rhizosphere soil and decomposing fruits and vegetables in Côte d'Ivoire were evaluated using an integrated phenotypic and genome‐informed approach. Four isolates (E1‐E4) showing acidification capacity and no detectable aflatoxin‐associated reaction were selected for further characterization ...

Drone‐based phenotyping of maize for multiple disease resistance and yield in breeding field trials

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Improving selection for multiple disease resistance (MDR) and yield in maize (Zea mays L.) requires high‐throughput, objective phenotyping tools, particularly under field conditions where several foliar diseases co‐occur. We evaluated drone‐based multispectral vegetation indices (VIs) for predicting resistance to northern leaf blight (NLB ...
