Autophagy During Conidiation and Conidial Germination in Filamentous Fungi [PDF]

Autophagy, 2007
Filamentous fungi form aerial hyphae on solid medium, and some of these differentiate into conidiophores for asexual sporulation (conidiation). In the filamentous deuteromycete, Aspergillus oryzae, aerial hyphae are formed from the foot cells and some differentiate into conidiophores, which are composed of vesicles, phialides and conidia.

srdA mutations suppress the rseA/cpsA deletion mutant conidiation defect in Aspergillus nidulans

Scientific Reports, 2023
Conidiation is an important reproductive process in Aspergillus. We previously reported, in A. nidulans, that the deletion of a putative glycosyltransferase gene, rseA/cpsA, causes an increase in the production of extracellular hydrolases and a severe ...

The Heterotrimeric Transcription Factor CCAAT-Binding Complex and Ca2+-CrzA Signaling Reversely Regulate the Transition between Fungal Hyphal Growth and Asexual Reproduction

mBio, 2021
The life cycle of filamentous fungi generally comprises hyphal growth and asexual reproduction. Both growth and propagation processes are critical for invasion growth, spore dissemination, and virulence in fungal pathogens and for the production of ...

Mr-AbaA Regulates Conidiation by Interacting with the Promoter Regions of Both Mr-veA and Mr-wetA in Metarhizium robertsii

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
Conidiation is a pivotal strategy for fungi to resist adverse environments and disperse to new habitats, which is especially important for entomopathogenic fungi whose conidia are infective as fungal pesticide propagules. However, the molecular mechanism

FpCzf14 is a putative C2H2 transcription factor regulating conidiation in Fusarium pseudograminearum

Phytopathology Research, 2020
C2H2 zinc finger transcription factors such as FlbC and Msn2, have broad regulatory roles in fungal growth and conidiation. In the present study, we cloned and characterized a C2H2 zinc finger transcription factor gene, FpCzf14, in the wheat pathogen ...

Transcription Factor MaMsn2 Regulates Conidiation Pattern Shift under the Control of MaH1 through Homeobox Domain in Metarhizium acridum

Journal of Fungi, 2021
The growth pattern of filamentous fungi can switch between hyphal radial polar growth and non-polar yeast-like cell growth depending on the environmental conditions.

MaSln1, a Conserved Histidine Protein Kinase, Contributes to Conidiation Pattern Shift Independent of the MAPK Pathway in Metarhizium acridum

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
As a conserved sensor kinase in the HOG-MAPK pathway, Sln1 plays distinct functions in different fungi. In this study, the roles of MaSln1 in Metarhizium acridum were analyzed using gene knockout and rescue strategies.

A Study of Conidiation in Neurospora crassa [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1966
SUMMARY: Two distinct forms of growth of wild-type Neurospora crassa can be produced by altering the nitrogen source of the growth medium. One form completely lacks conidia and carotenoids; the other exhibits enhanced conidiation and pigmentation. Analysis of the oxidative and glycolytic metabolism of these two forms showed that the non-conidiating ...

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.

Data_Sheet_1_The MaCreA Gene Regulates Normal Conidiation and Microcycle Conidiation in Metarhizium acridum.pdf [PDF]

, 2019
As a C2H2 type zinc finger transcription factor, CreA is the key in Carbon Catabolism Repression (CCR) pathway, which negatively regulates the genes in carbon sources utilization. As conidiation in filamentous fungi is affected by nutritional conditions,
