Oidium longipes, a new powdery mildew fungus on petunia in the USA: A potential threat to ornamental and vegetable solanaceous crops [PDF]
This is the first North American report of Oidium longipes, an anamorphic powdery mildew species described recently in Europe. It was found on vegetatively propagated petunia grown in a commercial greenhouse in New Jersey, USA, where it caused a rapidly ...

Melanin Promotes Spore Production in the Rice Blast Fungus Magnaporthe oryzae
The rice blast pathogen, Magnaporthe oryzae, spreads through spores and invades rice through appressoria. Melanin is necessary for an appressorium to penetrate plant cells, but there are many unknown aspects of its role in fungal conidiation.

Characterising the role of GABA and its metabolism in the wheat pathogen Stagonospora nodorum [PDF]
A reverse genetics approach was used to investigate the role of γ-aminobutyric acid metabolism in the wheat pathogenic fungus Stagonospora nodorum. The creation of mutants lacking Sdh1, the gene encoding succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, resulted in ...

The VELVET A orthologue VEL1 of Trichoderma reesei regulates fungal development and is essential for cellulase gene expression [PDF]
Trichoderma reesei is the industrial producer of cellulases and hemicellulases for biorefinery processes. Their expression is obligatorily dependent on the function of the protein methyltransferase LAE1. The Aspergillus nidulans orthologue of LAE1--LaeA--

Conserved function of a RasGEF-mediated pathway in the metabolic compensation of the circadian clock. [PDF]
Metabolic compensation of the circadian clock is essential for stabilizing the period of endogenous timekeeping in environments with significant nutrient fluctuations. In this study, we demonstrate that RasGEF (SOS1)‐mediated signaling, which is influenced by metabolic conditions, supports the robust function of the circadian clock under low glucose ...

UrdA Controls Secondary Metabolite Production and the Balance between Asexual and Sexual Development in Aspergillus Nidulans [PDF]
The genus Aspergillus includes important plant pathogens, opportunistic human pathogens and mycotoxigenic fungi. In these organisms, secondary metabolism and morphogenesis are subject to a complex genetic regulation.
