A Pangenome Framework Reveals Conserved Pathogenicity‐Associated Biosynthetic Gene Clusters in Fusarium equiseti, a Root Rot Pathogen of Panax notoginseng

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Integrating pangenome and infection‐stage transcriptome analyses with CRISPR/Cas9 genetics identifies conserved secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters, including an ICS–NRPS and a siderophore pathway, as key determinants of Fusarium equiseti P26 pathogenicity on Panax notoginseng.

Cell Wall Biogenesis Protein Phosphatase CrSsd1 Is Required for Conidiation, Cell Wall Integrity, and Mycoparasitism in Clonostachys rosea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Cell wall biogenesis protein phosphatases play important roles in various cellular processes in fungi. However, their functions in the widely distributed mycoparasitic fungus Clonostachys rosea remain unclear, as do their potential for controlling plant ...

Pan2‐Pan3 Complex‐Mediated Deadenylation Enforces mRNA Quality Control for Infection of the Rice Blast Fungus

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 18, 27 March 2026.
Discovery that deadenylation, rather than transcription, acts as the rate‐limiting step for developmental timing in a plant pathogen. Evidence that P‐body integrity and mRNA decay are mechanistically coupled to rapid cellular differentiation under environmental stress. Identification of Pan2‐Pan3 as a pathogen‐specific “meta‐virulence factor” absent in

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 ...

Terpenoid Conidiation Factors in Penicillium cyclopium [PDF]

, 2004
Filamentous fungi produce asexual dispersive spores (conidia), when conditions are not suitable for apical extension growth. Conidiation (the process by which conidia produced) in genus Penicillium has attracted considerable interest because of its wide ...

CsdA‐LaeB Regulatory Hub Contributes to Aspergillus fumigatus Virulence via Fumiquinazoline C Biosynthesis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
This study identifies a conserved CsdA‐LaeB hub in Aspergillus fumigatus that regulates secondary metabolite fumiquinazoline C (FqC). Disrupting this hub enhances FqC production and virulence, shedding new light on the post‐transcriptional regulatory logic linking secondary metabolism to pathogenicity and offering alternative strategies for diagnostic ...

In Vitro and In Planta Botanical Control of Banana Postharvest Disease Causing Fungi

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Botanical (Aloevera + Garlic) extract reduced the L. theobromae growth (in vitro) and postharvest disease (crown‐rot and brown spot or fruit freckle) development (in planta) in banana without any adverse effect on the physiochemical properties such as weight, colour, firmness and TSS.

In Vitro Activities of Five Antifungal Drugs Against Conidia and Sclerotic Cells of Chromoblastomycosis Agent Fonsecaea spp

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 3, Page 139-147, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic skin and subcutaneous infection mainly caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi, a dematiaceous fungus with various morphotypes. Characteristic sclerotic cells—globe‐shaped, multiseptated and pigmented—are found in lesions of infected individuals, though their differentiation in the host remains poorly understood. To

bZIP63.5 Regulates a Zinc‐Finger Mediated Detoxification Network in Trichoderma Harzianum for Enhanced Biocontrol of Alternaria alternata

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
The bZIP63.5 transcription factor, activated by Alternaria alternata stress, directly upregulates zinc‐finger transcription factors (Zn2CyS6 and C2H2 types), which in turn enhance the expression of downstream detoxification and defence‐related genes, collectively improving the biocontrol efficacy of Trichoderma harzianum.
