Ultrastructure and Physiological Characterization of Morchella Mitospores and Their Relevance in the Understanding of the Morel Life Cycle

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Morels, which belong to the Ascomycete genus Morchella, are highly valued edible fungi treasured by gourmet chefs worldwide. Some species are saprotrophic and others are able to form facultative mycorrhizal-like associations with plant roots without ...

Transcriptional Stages of Conidia Germination and Associated Genes in Aspergillus flavus: An Essential Role for Redox Genes

open access: yesToxins, 2022
Aflatoxin is a threatening mycotoxin primarily present in the agricultural environment, especially in food and feedstuff, and poses significant global health risks. Aflatoxins are produced mainly by Aspergillus flavus.

The role of conidia in the dispersal of Ascochyta rabiei

open access: yes, 2020
Ascochyta rabiei asexual spores (conidia) were assumed to spread over short distances (~10 m) in a combination of rain and strong wind. The potential distance of conidial spread was investigated in three rainfall and three sprinkler irrigation events ...

Trichoderma asperelloides Spores Downregulate dectin1/2 and TLR2 Receptors of Mice Macrophages and Decrease Candida parapsilosis Phagocytosis Independent of the M1/M2 Polarization

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
The intensive use of pesticides to control pests in agriculture has promoted several issues relating to environment. As chemical pesticides remain controversial, biocontrol agents originating from fungi could be an alternative.

Comparison of the effect of oxidant pulses on conidia under culture and free conidia

open access: yesRevista de Ingeniería Biomédica y Biotecnología, 2023
The objectives of sustainable development demand ecosystem-friendly agricultural practices, so the use of entomopathogenic fungi as a technology for pest control is very convenient. Oxidant pulses are an alternative method for improving the quality of conidia that could be implemented in the production chain. However, it has not been determined at what

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-Mediated Transformation of NHEJ Mutant Aspergillus nidulans Conidia: An Efficient Tool for Targeted Gene Recombination Using Selectable Nutritional Markers

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2021
Protoplast transformation for the introduction of recombinant DNA into Aspergillus nidulans is technically demanding and dependant on the availability and batch variability of commercial enzyme preparations. Given the success of Agrobacterium tumefaciens-

Intermolecular Carbon–Carbon Naphthalene Coupling Involves a Radical Mechanism Driven by Cytochrome P450 in Alternaria alternata

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
1,8‐DHN is an important intermediate to form complex aromatic ring systems. Phenol‐coupling reactions are important for the dimerization of two molecules. Here, we show that a fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme catalyzes specific C─C bonds. ABSTRACT Dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) derivatives are precursors of biologically important molecules, including melanin ...

Initial events in the establishment of cereal powdery mildew infection

open access: yesPlant Protection Science, 2002
Like spores of many fungi, conidia of Blumeria graminis, the powdery mildew fungus of cereals, release extracellular material. It is released within seconds where conidial surface projections touch a leaf.
