MaCts1, an Endochitinase, Is Involved in Conidial Germination, Conidial Yield, Stress Tolerances and Microcycle Conidiation in Metarhizium acridum

Biology, 2022
Entomopathogenic fungi are promising biocontrol agents of insect-mediated crop damage. Microcycle conidiation has shown great potential in enhancing the conidial yield and quality of entomopathogenic fungi.

Distinct actomyosin–septin coordination governs conidiation and septation in Verticillium dahliae [PDF]

mLife
Conidiation is the primary mode of reproduction in filamentous fungi and is essential for the dispersal of pathogenic species. However, the fundamental cellular mechanisms regulating conidiation in plant pathogenic fungi remain largely unexplored.

The Forkhead Box Gene, MaSep1, Negatively Regulates UV- and Thermo-Tolerances and Is Required for Microcycle Conidiation in Metarhizium acridum

Journal of Fungi
Insect pathogenic fungi have shown great potential in agricultural pest control. Conidiation is crucial for the survival of filamentous fungi, and dispersal occurs through two methods: normal conidiation, where conidia differentiate from mycelium, and ...

Genetic regulation of conidiation in Trichoderma hamatum

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2004
Achieving a balance between vegetative growth and spore production is essential for successful biocontrol by fungi. Low sporulation rates in the field can result in poor establishment and survival, whereas failure of conidia to recognise hosts can lead ...

Development of rice conidiation media for Ustilaginoidea virens.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Rice false smut, caused by the ascomycete Ustilaginoidea virens, is a serious disease of rice worldwide. Conidia are very important infectious propagules of U.

Impact of solid medium composition on the conidiation in Penicillium camemberti

Process Biochemistry, 2006
International audienceConidiation of an industrial strain of Penicillium (P.) camemberti, a ripening fungus, was examined on solid media. In order to evaluate the influence of nutritional factors on conidiation, we developed an inoculation and transfer ...

The Zn(II)2Cys6-Type Transcription Factor ADA-6 Regulates Conidiation, Sexual Development, and Oxidative Stress Response in Neurospora crassa

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Conidiation and sexual development are critical for reproduction, dispersal and better-adapted survival in many filamentous fungi. The Neurospora crassa gene ada-6 encodes a Zn(II)2Cys6-type transcription factor, whose deletion resulted in reduced ...

UvVelC is important for conidiation and pathogenicity in the rice false smut pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens

Virulence
Rice false smut disease is one of the most significant rice diseases worldwide. Ustilaginoidea virens is the causative agent of this disease. Although several developmental and pathogenic genes have been identified and functionally analyzed, the ...
