Decapeptide Inducer Promotes the Conidiation of Phytopathogenic <i>Magnaporthe oryzae</i> via the Mps1 MAPK Signaling Pathway. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Magnaporthe oryzae (M. oryzae) is a phytopathogenic fungus that inflicts damage on vital crops, particularly rice. Its asexual reproduction leads to the generation of numerous conidia, which is a critical factor contributing to the prevalence of rice ...

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 Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors UvBhlh1 and UvBhlh6 Coordinate Virulence in the Rice False Smut Fungus Ustilaginoidea virens. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol
Transcription factors UvBhlh1 and UvBhlh6 are essential for early infection and virulence in Ustilaginoidea virens. These two proteins form a heterodimer that cooperatively regulates downstream target genes during pathogenesis. ABSTRACT Ustilaginoidea virens is the causal agent of rice false smut, a devastating and globally widespread fungal disease ...

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.
