Interactions Between Spore Morphogenetic Mutations Affect Cell Types, Sporulation, and Pathogenesis in Magnaporthe grisea

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1998
We have previously defined four single-gene mutations, con1, con2, con4, and con7, that control various stages of spore morphogenesis in the rice blast fungus.

An LaeA- and BrlA-Dependent Cellular Network Governs Tissue-Specific Secondary Metabolism in the Human Pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus

mSphere, 2018
Biosynthesis of many ecologically important secondary metabolites (SMs) in filamentous fungi is controlled by several global transcriptional regulators, like the chromatin modifier LaeA, and tied to both development and vegetative growth.

Suppression of Aspergillus fumigatus Germination by Neutrophils Is Enhanced by Endothelial-Derived CSF3 Production

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Infection with Aspergillus fumigatus can cause life-threatening diseases in immunocompromised patients with an unacceptable mortality rate. Angioinvasion is one of the features of severe invasive aspergillosis.

Novel Treatment Approach for Aspergilloses by Targeting Germination

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Germination of conidia is an essential process within the Aspergillus life cycle and plays a major role during the infection of hosts. Conidia are able to avoid detection by the majority of leukocytes when dormant.

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

Frontiers 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.

UVA photoactivation of harmol enhances its antifungal activity against the phytopathogens Penicillium digitatum and Botrytis cinerea [PDF]

, 2017
Phytopathogenic fungi responsible for post-harvest diseases on fruit and vegetables cause important economic losses. We have previously reported that harmol (1-methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-7-ol) is active against the causal agents of green and gray molds

Blastospores from Metarhizium anisopliae and Metarhizium rileyi Are Not Always as Virulent as Conidia Are towards Spodoptera frugiperda Caterpillars and Use Different Infection Mechanisms

Microorganisms, 2023
Infective conidia from entomopathogenic fungi are widely used to control insect pests. Many entomopathogenic fungi also produce yeast-like cells called blastospores under specific liquid culture conditions that can directly infect insects.

Tools for delivering entomopathogenic fungi to malaria mosquitoes: effects of delivery surfaces on fungal efficacy and persistence. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND\ud \ud Entomopathogenic fungi infection on malaria vectors increases daily mortality rates and thus represents a control measure that could be used in integrated programmes alongside insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) and indoor residual ...

Co-occurring species of Teratosphaeria on Eucalyptus [PDF]

, 2009
A common leaf spot disease occurring on Eucalyptus cladocalyx and E. lehmannii in the Western Cape Province of South Africa is known from literature to be caused by the fungus Coniothyrium ovatum, which is a pathogen native to several eucalypts in ...

The Entomopathogenic Fungus Conidiobolus coronatus Has Similar Effects on the Cuticular Free Fatty Acid Profile of Sensitive and Resistant Insects

Insects, 2023
The mechanisms underlying the recognition of a susceptible host by a fungus and the role of cuticular compounds (CCs) in this process remain unclear; however, accumulated data suggest that this is influenced to a great degree by cuticular lipids.
