G Protein α Subunit Genes Control Growth, Development, and Pathogenicity of Magnaporthe grisea

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1997
Three G protein α subunit genes have been cloned and characterized from Magnaporthe grisea: magA is very similar to CPG-2 of Cryphonectria parasitica; magB is virtually identical to CPG-1 of Cryphonectria parasitica, to gna1 of Neurospora crassa, and to ...

Host Preference Associated With Deoxynivalenol and Nivalenol Chemotypes in Fusarium graminearum, F. asiaticum, and F. meridionale

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study provides the genetic basis for host preference associated with deoxynivalenol and nivalenol chemotypes in Fusarium graminearum, F. asiaticum, and F. meridionale. ABSTRACT Members of Fusarium sambucinum species complex (FSAMSC), major mycotoxigenic phytopathogens, affect cereal crops such as wheat and rice.

Conidial Hydrophobins ofAspergillus fumigatus [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2003
ABSTRACTThe surface ofAspergillus fumigatusconidia, the first structure recognized by the host immune system, is covered by rodlets. We report that this outer cell wall layer contains two hydrophobins, RodAp and RodBp, which are found as highly insoluble complexes. TheRODAgene was previously characterized, and ΔrodAconidia do not display a rodlet layer

Hypovirus‐Induced Phosphorylation of CpIre1 Modulates Unfolded Protein Response and Virulence in Cryphonectria parasitica

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Hypovirus‐induced phosphorylation of CpIre1 modulates the endoplasmic reticulum stress response in Cryphonectria parasitica. ABSTRACT The chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica and its hypovirus constitute a valuable model for investigating fungal pathogenesis and cross‐kingdom virus–host interplay.

A Core Effector MoPce1 Is Required for the Pathogenicity of Magnaporthe oryzae by Modulating Catalase‐Mediated H2O2 Homeostasis in Rice

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
MoPce1, an atypical CAP/PR‐1 family effector, is essential for Magnaporthe oryzae virulence. MoPce1 functions by interacting with the rice catalase OsCATC to disrupt ROS homeostasis, thereby promoting host susceptibility. ABSTRACT Plant pathogens employ a diverse array of effectors to facilitate host colonisation, including evolutionarily conserved ...

Cdc25‐Mediated Activation of the Small GTPase RasB Is Essential for Hyphal Fusion and Symbiotic Infection of Epichloë festucae

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
A conserved Cdc25–RasB signalling pathway, essential for hyphal fusion and host infection, is repurposed in Epichloë festucae to maintain a stable mutualistic symbiosis with grass hosts. ABSTRACT Epichloë festucae is a filamentous endophytic fungus that symbiotically colonises the intercellular spaces of aerial tissues in perennial ryegrass without ...

Mixed Impacts of the Mycovirus Fusarium Culmorum Phenuivirus 1 on Fusarium culmorum: Laboratory and In Planta Investigations

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Fusarium culmorum phenuivirus 1 caused no changes in laboratory‐based assays and shows mild hypovirulence in a susceptible wheat cultivar under semifield conditions. It is highly transmissible both via spores and hyphal contact. ABSTRACT The mycovirus Fusarium culmorum phenuivirus 1 (FcPV1) infects the wheat pathogen Fusarium culmorum, a causal agent ...
