Soil Allies: Exploring the Combined Potential of Folsomia candida and Trichoderma spp. Against Fusarium oxysporum

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
This study highlights the synergistic potential of the springtail Folsomia candida and Trichoderma spp. in suppressing Fusarium oxysporum, a key pathogen affecting cape gooseberry. By reducing Fusarium populations and enhancing soil health, this approach offers a promising eco‐friendly strategy for managing plant diseases in agriculture.

CYP52X1, representing new cytochrome P450 subfamily, displays fatty acid hydroxylase activity and contributes to virulence and growth on insect cuticular substrates in entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana [PDF]

, 2012
Infection of insects by the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana proceeds via attachment and penetration of the host cuticle. The outermost epicuticular layer or waxy layer of the insect represents a structure rich in lipids including abundant ...

Ras pathways help buffer biological timekeeping against metabolic perturbations

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 20, Page 5331-5334, October 2025.
Circadian clocks must be buffered (compensated) against conditions that could affect their rate (period). This figure shows rhythmic peaks of spore formation driven by the clock of the fungus Neurospora: The period is the same under different nutritional conditions in the wild‐type but not in a RasGEF mutant that disrupts an intracellular signaling ...

Conidial Hydrophobins ofAspergillus fumigatus [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2003
ABSTRACTThe surface ofAspergillus fumigatusconidia, the first structure recognized by the host immune system, is covered by rodlets. We report that this outer cell wall layer contains two hydrophobins, RodAp and RodBp, which are found as highly insoluble complexes. TheRODAgene was previously characterized, and ΔrodAconidia do not display a rodlet layer

Mitochondrial Complex Member VdNuo1 Recruits Superoxide Dismutases VdSOD2/4 to Maintain Superoxide Anion Homeostasis During Pathogenesis in Verticillium dahliae

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2025.
Superoxide dismutases VdSOD2 and VdSOD4 are recruited and regulated by the 24‐kDa subunit VdNuo1 of the respiratory chain complex I to participate in the development and pathogenicity of Verticillium dahliae. ABSTRACT During oxidative phosphorylation, the leaked electrons generate superoxide anions to attack the mitochondrial inner membrane and impair ...

Regulation of Oomycete Autophagy, Lipid Droplet Accumulation and Pathogenesis by Three Rab GTPases

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2025.
PlRab6– PlRab8A complex controls growth, virulence and autophagy, while PlRab8B modulates sporulation and virulence via autophagy and LD metabolism in P. litchii. ABSTRACT Among eukaryotes, Rab GTPases are critical for intracellular membrane trafficking and possess various functions.

MoMad2 With a Conserved Function in the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint Is Required for Maintaining Appressorial Turgor Pressure and Pathogenicity of Rice Blast Fungus

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2025.
MoMad2 restricts Magnaporthe oryzae mitotic cell cycle acceleration and contributes to the full pathogenicity by maintaining appressorial turgor pressure. ABSTRACT Mad2, a conserved core component of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) in eukaryotes, delays anaphase onset in case of incorrect kinetochore‐microtubule attachment. However, its functions

The Melanin Biosynthesis Genes of Alternaria alternata Can Restore Pathogenicity of the Melanin-Deficient Mutants of Magnaporthe grisea

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1997
The phytopathogenic fungi Magnaporthe grisea and Alternaria alternata produce melanin via the polyketide biosynthesis, and both fungi form melanized colonies. However, the site of melanin deposition and the role of melanin in pathogenicity differ between
