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

Gene expression profiling during conidiation in the rice blast pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Conidiation of phytopathogenic fungi is a key developmental process that plays a central role in their life cycles and in epidemics. However, there is little information on conidiation-induced molecular changes in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae.

Conidiation induction in Penicillium [PDF]
Research in Microbiology, 2003 Asexual spores or conidia are dispersive propagules produced as an alternative to vegetative growth by a diverse group of filamentous fungi. The cellular development programmes which govern conidiation have been intensely studied in the last few decades, although important gaps stand in the way of our understanding of this phenomenon, namely in the ...

The Forkhead Box Gene, MaSep1, Negatively Regulates UV- and Thermo-Tolerances and Is Required for Microcycle Conidiation in Metarhizium acridum [PDF]
Journal of FungiInsect 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 [PDF]
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 ...
