Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.The bZIP63.5 transcription factor, activated by Alternaria alternata stress, directly upregulates zinc‐finger transcription factors (Zn2CyS6 and C2H2 types), which in turn enhance the expression of downstream detoxification and defence‐related genes, collectively improving the biocontrol efficacy of Trichoderma harzianum.

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.The AA9 family protein ScAA9 of Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum plays dual roles as both a virulence factor for infection and a PAMP for host immune manipulation, highlighting the complexity of S. cucurbitacearum–host interactions. ABSTRACT Fungal pathogens secrete cell wall‐degrading enzymes that either act as virulence factors or are perceived by ...

Conidial anastomosis tubes in filamentous fungi [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2005 Conidial anastomosis tubes (CATs) can be recognized in 73 species of filamentous fungi covering 21 genera, and develop in culture and in host-pathogen systems. They have been shown to be morphologically and physiologically distinct from germ tubes in Colletotrichum and Neurospora, and under separate genetic control in Neurospora.

Microneedle‐Based Biofertilizer Delivery Improves Plant Growth Through Microbiome Engineering
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 13, 12 February 2026.This figure shows how microneedles are used to deliver biofertilizers to enhance plant growth through microbial migration, metabolic reprogramming, and changes in plant endogenous microbiome. Abstract This study presents a microneedle‐based system for the delivery of rhizospheric biofertilizers into plant tissues to enhance growth.

The Impact of Fungal Developmental Structures on Mechanical Properties of Mycelial Materials
Engineering in Life Sciences, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT This study explores how suppressing asexual development in Aspergillus nidulans enhances the mechanical properties of mycelial materials. Using four aconidial mutants (∆brlA, ∆flbA, ∆fluG, and fadAG42R) lacking asexual development and a control strain (A28) that undergoes typical asexual development, we found that the absence of asexual ...
