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.

The Histone Demethylase JMJD2‐Dependent Regulation of rDNA Transcription and Integrity of Nucleolus Is Required for Fungal Development and Pathogenicity in the Rice Blast Fungus

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Alternative splicing of MoJMJD2 generates nucleolar and nuclear isoforms that coordinate development and pathogenicity in Magnaporthe oryzae. In the nucleolus, MoJMJD2T0 promotes rDNA transcription by reducing H3K9me1 at rDNA loci, whereas in the nucleus, MoJMJD2T1 likely maintains nucleolar integrity and indirectly regulates melanin synthesis, cell ...

Identification and functional characterization of the putative members of the CTDK-1 kinase complex as regulators of growth and development in Aspergillus nidulans and Aspergillus fumigatus

mBio, 2023
Asexual spores are the main vehicle used by fungi to disperse to new niches. The Eurotiomycete Aspergillus nidulans is the main reference for the study of the genetic/molecular control of asexual development.

Staurosporine Targets Mitochondrial Regulator VdAtuA3 to Disrupt Mitochondrial Homeostasis to Control Verticillium Wilt

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, Page 5131-5151, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Mitochondria serve as cellular powerhouses that generate ATP via electron transport chain complexes and orchestrate metabolism‐apoptosis cross‐talk, yet genes maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis remain underexplored as antifungal targets. In this study, a previously uncharacterised protein VdAtuA3 was identified as a novel interactor with ...

A Homeodomain-Containing Transcriptional Factor PoHtf1 Regulated the Development and Cellulase Expression in Penicillium oxalicum

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Homeodomain-containing transcription factors (Htfs) play important roles in animals, fungi, and plants during some developmental processes. Here, a homeodomain-containing transcription factor PoHtf1 was functionally characterized in the cellulase ...

Microbial Oxidative Stress in Food Fermentations: A Comprehensive Review

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Oxidative stress has a dual role in food fermentations: low ROS supports adaptive signaling, whereas excessive ROS causes cellular damage and process inhibition. Managing redox state as a controllable process variable can improve fermentation robustness and final food quality.

Rhythmic conidiation in the blue-light fungus Trichoderma pleuroticola

, 2010
Trichoderma species conidiate in response to blue light, however, unlike in the blue-light model fungus Neurospora crassa, conidiation in Trichoderma spp. has been considered to be non-circadian.
