A synergistic alliance between nematophagous fungi and organic matter against plant‐parasitic nematodes: a systematic review

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8104-8119, September 2026.
Certain beneficial fungi are widely used to control harmful nematodes in crops, especially when combined with organic matter. Together, they improve soil health, support plant growth, and enhance nutrient cycling. This natural partnership offers a promising, environmentally friendly approach to strengthening sustainable agriculture and reducing ...

Hyphal Fusions Enable Efficient Nutrient Distribution in Colletotrichum graminicola Conidiation and Symptom Development on Maize

Microorganisms, 2022
Hyphal and germling fusion is a common phenomenon in ascomycetous fungi. Due to the formed hyphal network, this process enables a coordinated development as well as an interaction with plant hosts and efficient nutrient distribution.

The ER–Golgi Lipid Exchanger PsORP1 Is Essential for Phytophthora sojae Development and Is Blocked by Oxathiapiprolin via Its OSBP‐Related Domain (ORD)

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
PsORP1 anchors ER–Golgi MCSs to mediate PS/PI4P counter‐transport, and oxathiapiprolin targets the ORD to inhibit this lipid exchange. ABSTRACT Oxysterol‐binding protein (OSBP)‐related proteins (ORPs) are indispensable eukaryotic lipid transporters and promising targets for pharmaceutical and agrochemical exploitation.

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.

The Conserved Guanyl‐Specific Ribonuclease T1 Effector EC19 Is Required for Full Virulence of the Vascular Wilt Fungus Fusarium oxysporum on Tomato

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
EC19, a secreted ribonuclease T1 effector from Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol), is required for tomato wilt virulence. EC19‐overexpressing tomato lines display increased susceptibility to Fol and altered transcriptional changes associated with plant hormone signal transduction, plant–pathogen interaction, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis ...

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.

A Fungal Glycoside Hydrolase From Colletotrichum asianum Mini‐Chromosomes Targets Host Chitinase to Suppress Plant Immunity

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
CaMutA interacts with MiChi1 and promotes the degradation of the latter by the 26S proteasome, resulting in the inability to activate reactive oxygen species (ROS), PR genes, and MAPK signalling, thereby weakening resistance to C. asianum. ABSTRACT Colletotrichum asianum, the cause of mango anthracnose, is a major threat to mango production worldwide ...
