Contributions of a Histone Deacetylase (SirT2/Hst2) to Beauveria bassiana Growth, Development, and Virulence

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Sirtuins are a class of histone deacetylases that promote heterochromatin formation to repress transcription. The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana contains six sirtuin homologs.

CsdA‐LaeB Regulatory Hub Contributes to Aspergillus fumigatus Virulence via Fumiquinazoline C Biosynthesis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
This study identifies a conserved CsdA‐LaeB hub in Aspergillus fumigatus that regulates secondary metabolite fumiquinazoline C (FqC). Disrupting this hub enhances FqC production and virulence, shedding new light on the post‐transcriptional regulatory logic linking secondary metabolism to pathogenicity and offering alternative strategies for diagnostic ...

The Zn(II)2Cys6-Type Transcription Factor ADA-6 Regulates Conidiation, Sexual Development, and Oxidative Stress Response in Neurospora crassa

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Conidiation and sexual development are critical for reproduction, dispersal and better-adapted survival in many filamentous fungi. The Neurospora crassa gene ada-6 encodes a Zn(II)2Cys6-type transcription factor, whose deletion resulted in reduced ...

Identification and Characterization of Auxin/IAA Biosynthesis Pathway in the Rice Blast Fungus Magnaporthe oryzae

Journal of Fungi, 2022
The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae has been known to produce the phytohormone auxin/IAA from its hyphae and conidia, but the detailed biological function and biosynthesis pathway is largely unknown.

VmMon1-Ccz1 Complex Is Required for Conidiation, Autophagy, and Virulence in Valsa mali

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2022
Apple Valsa canker caused by Valsa mali is a serious disease in eastern Asia, especially in China. In our previous proteomics study, monensin sensitivity 1 protein in Valsa mali (VmMon1) was identified to be significantly upregulated during V.

In Vitro Activities of Five Antifungal Drugs Against Conidia and Sclerotic Cells of Chromoblastomycosis Agent Fonsecaea spp

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 3, Page 139-147, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic skin and subcutaneous infection mainly caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi, a dematiaceous fungus with various morphotypes. Characteristic sclerotic cells—globe‐shaped, multiseptated and pigmented—are found in lesions of infected individuals, though their differentiation in the host remains poorly understood. To

Genetic regulation of conidiation in Trichoderma hamatum

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 ...
