Cdc25‐Mediated Activation of the Small GTPase RasB Is Essential for Hyphal Fusion and Symbiotic Infection of Epichloë festucae

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
A conserved Cdc25–RasB signalling pathway, essential for hyphal fusion and host infection, is repurposed in Epichloë festucae to maintain a stable mutualistic symbiosis with grass hosts. ABSTRACT Epichloë festucae is a filamentous endophytic fungus that symbiotically colonises the intercellular spaces of aerial tissues in perennial ryegrass without ...

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 ...

A Homeodomain-Containing Transcriptional Factor PoHtf1 Regulated the Development and Cellulase Expression in Penicillium oxalicum

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Homeodomain-containing transcription factors (Htfs) play important roles in animals, fungi, and plants during some developmental processes. Here, a homeodomain-containing transcription factor PoHtf1 was functionally characterized in the cellulase ...

Interconnections of Reactive Oxygen Species Homeostasis and Circadian Rhythm in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]

, 2015
Significance: Both circadian rhythm and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are fundamental features of aerobic eukaryotic cells. The circadian clock enhances the fitness of organisms by enabling them to anticipate cycling changes in the ...

The Mycovirus Cryphonectria Hypovirus 1 Infects the Heterologous Host Fusarium oxysporum and Induces Hypovirulence

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
The Cryphonectria parasitica hypovirus CHV1 efficiently replicates in the heterologous host Fusarium oxysporum, inducing clear hypovirulence, and has the potential to persist and spread in this pathogen by constant infections and re‐infections through hyphal anastomosis.

Ergothioneine Biosynthesis and Functionality in the Opportunistic Fungal Pathogen, Aspergillus fumigatus. [PDF]

, 2016
Ergothioneine (EGT; 2-mercaptohistidine trimethylbetaine) is a trimethylated and sulphurised histidine derivative which exhibits antioxidant properties. Here we report that deletion of Aspergillus fumigatus egtA (AFUA_2G15650), which encodes a trimodular

MoCpa1-mediated arginine biosynthesis is crucial for fungal growth, conidiation, and plant infection of Magnaporthe oryzae

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2020
Arginine is an important amino acid involved in processes such as cell signal transduction, protein synthesis, and sexual reproduction. To understand the biological roles of arginine biosynthesis in pathogenic fungi, we used Cpa1, the carbamoyl phosphate
