UvVelC is important for conidiation and pathogenicity in the rice false smut pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens

Virulence
Rice false smut disease is one of the most significant rice diseases worldwide. Ustilaginoidea virens is the causative agent of this disease. Although several developmental and pathogenic genes have been identified and functionally analyzed, the ...

The Melanin Biosynthesis Genes of Alternaria alternata Can Restore Pathogenicity of the Melanin-Deficient Mutants of Magnaporthe grisea

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1997
The phytopathogenic fungi Magnaporthe grisea and Alternaria alternata produce melanin via the polyketide biosynthesis, and both fungi form melanized colonies. However, the site of melanin deposition and the role of melanin in pathogenicity differ between

The forced activation of asexual conidiation in Aspergillus niger simplifies bioproduction

Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology
Aspergillus niger is an efficient cell factory for organic acids production, particularly l-malic acid, through genetic manipulation. However, the traditional method of collecting A. niger spores for inoculation is labor-intensive and resource-consuming.

Microcycle conidiation–A review

Mycoscience, 1994
Microcycle conidiation is defined as the germination of spores by the direct formation of conidia without the intervention of mycelial growth, as occurs in most normal life cycles. It is a method of asexual spore formation in which the normal life cycle of the fungus is bypassed.

Conidial alkaline phosphatase from Neurospora crassa

Phytochemistry, 1996
An alkaline phosphatase was purified from conidia of a Neurospora crassa wild type strain. The M(r) of the purified native enzyme was estimated as ca 145,000 and 110,000 by gel filtration, in the presence and absence of magnesium ions, respectively. A single polypeptide band of M(r) 36,000 was detected by SDS-PAGE, suggesting that the native enzyme was
