MaOpy2, a Transmembrane Protein, Is Involved in Stress Tolerances and Pathogenicity and Negatively Regulates Conidial Yield by Shifting the Conidiation Pattern in Metarhizium acridum

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Opy2 is an important membrane-anchored protein upstream of the HOG-MAPK signaling pathway and plays important roles in both the HOG-MAPK and Fus3/Kss1 MAPK. In this study, the roles of MaOpy2 in Metarhizium acridum were systematically elucidated.

The C2H2 Zinc Finger Protein MaNCP1 Contributes to Conidiation through Governing the Nitrate Assimilation Pathway in the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium acridum

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Zinc finger proteins are an important class of multifunctional regulators. Here, the roles of a C2H2 zinc finger protein MaNCP1 (Metarhizium acridum nitrate-related conidiation pattern shift regulatory factor 1) in nitrogen utilization and conidiation ...

Autophagy During Conidiation, Conidial Germination and Turgor Generation inMagnaporthe grisea [PDF]

Autophagy, 2007
Autophagy is a ubiquitous and evolutionarily conserved process found in all eukaryotic cells that allows for the degradation and recycling of old proteins and organelles. Starvation can induce autophagy, and autophagic pathway is an essential process for cellular function under starvation.

UvSMEK1, a Suppressor of MEK Null, Regulates Pathogenicity, Conidiation and Conidial Germination in Rice False Smut Fungus Ustilaginoidea virens

Rice Science, 2021
Rice false smut, which is caused by Ustilaginoidea virens, is an emerging disease of rice spikelets in rice-growing areas worldwide. However, the infection mechanism of U. virens on rice spikelets is still unclear.

Melanin Promotes Spore Production in the Rice Blast Fungus Magnaporthe oryzae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The rice blast pathogen, Magnaporthe oryzae, spreads through spores and invades rice through appressoria. Melanin is necessary for an appressorium to penetrate plant cells, but there are many unknown aspects of its role in fungal conidiation.

Investigation on the Influence of Production and Incubation Temperature on the Growth, Virulence, Germination, and Conidial Size of Metarhizium brunneum for Granule Development

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Important for the infection of an insect with an entomopathogenic fungus and its use as a plant protection agent are its growth, conidiation, germination, and virulence, which all depend on the environmental temperature.
