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.

WC1/WC2–Sre1 Transcriptional Cascade Controls Predation and Chlamydospore Formation in the Nematode‐Trapping Fungus Arthrobotrys flagrans

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
Systematic functional characterization of all eight GATA‐type transcription factors in the nematode‐trapping fungus Arthrobotrys flagrans reveals a novel, light‐independent WC1/WC2–Sre1 transcriptional cascade that orchestrates both trap formation and chlamydospore development, providing actionable targets for engineering superior biocontrol strains ...

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.

Fusarium sacchari 14‐3‐3 Protein FsBmh1 Sequesters a Novel Elicitor FsEcm33 to Evade Host Immunity

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
When the elicitor FsEcm33 is sprayed onto Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, it enters the apoplast, triggering PAMP‐triggered immunity (PTI) that depends on NbRE02, NbBAK1, and NbSOBIR1. However, upon Fusarium sacchari infection, FsBmh1 binds FsEcm33 to prevent its localization on the cell surface, escaping PTI to allow colonization.

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.

CfSnt2‐CfRpd3‐Mediated H3 Deacetylation Governs the ROS‐Induced Autophagy and Pathogenicity of Colletotrichum fructicola

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
The CfSnt2‐CfRpd3‐mediated H3 deacetylation negatively regulates ROS‐induced autophagy. The CfRpd3 and CfSnt2 undergo down‐regulated expression to relieve the inhibition of autophagy. Thus, autophagy is highly induced during Colletotrichum fructicola infection and oxidative stress for ROS response and pathogenicity.

Regulation of conidiation in Botrytis cinerea involves the light-responsive transcriptional regulators BcLTF3 and BcREG1 [PDF]

, 2017
International audienceBotrytis cinerea is a plant pathogenic fungus with a broad host range. Due to its rapid growth and reproduction by asexual spores (conidia), which increases the inoculum pressure, the fungus is a serious problem in different fields ...

Functional characterization of the AGL1 aegerolysin in the mycoparasitic fungusTrichoderma atroviridereveals a role in conidiation and antagonism [Elektronisk resurs] [PDF]

, 2021
Aegerolysins are small secreted pore-forming proteins that are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The role of aegerolysins in sporulation, fruit body formation, and in lysis of cellular membrane is suggested in fungi.
