MaOpy2, a Transmembrane Protein, Is Involved in Stress Tolerances and Pathogenicity and Negatively Regulates Conidial Yield by Shifting the Conidiation Pattern in Metarhizium acridum. [PDF]
J Fungi (Basel), 2022 Opy2 is an important membrane-anchored protein upstream of the HOG-MAPK signaling pathway and plays important roles in both the HOG-MAPK and Fus3/Kss1 MAPK. In this study, the roles of MaOpy2 in Metarhizium acridum were systematically elucidated. The results showed that the MaOpy2 disruption significantly reduced fungal tolerances to UV, heat shock and

Transcription Factor MaMsn2 Regulates Conidiation Pattern Shift under the Control of MaH1 through Homeobox Domain in Metarhizium acridum. [PDF]
J Fungi (Basel), 2021 The growth pattern of filamentous fungi can switch between hyphal radial polar growth and non-polar yeast-like cell growth depending on the environmental conditions. Asexual conidiation after radial polar growth is called normal conidiation (NC), while yeast-like cell growth is called microcycle conidiation (MC).

MaNCP1, a C2H2 Zinc Finger Protein, Governs the Conidiation Pattern Shift through Regulating the Reductive Pathway for Nitric Oxide Synthesis in the Filamentous Fungus Metarhizium acridum. [PDF]
Microbiol Spectr, 2022 Fungal conidia play important roles in the response to environmental stimuli and evasion of the host immune system. The nitrogen source is one of the main factors affecting shifts in fungal conidiation patterns, but the regulatory mechanism involved is not fully understood.

MaAzaR, a Zn2Cys6/Fungus-Specific Transcriptional Factor, Is Involved in Stress Tolerance and Conidiation Pattern Shift in Metarhizium acridum. [PDF]
J Fungi (Basel)Entomopathogenic fungi are valuable sources of biological pesticides, with conidial yield and quality being pivotal factors determining their broad applications. AzaR, a fungus-specific zinc-cluster transcription factor, is known to regulate the biosynthesis of polyketone secondary metabolites in Aspergillus niger; however, its role in pathogenic fungi

Transcription Factor MaHMG, the High-Mobility Group Protein, Is Implicated in Conidiation Pattern Shift and Stress Tolerance in <i>Metarhizium acridum</i>. [PDF]
J Fungi (Basel)Conidiation and stress tolerance are pivotal traits in entomopathogenic fungi, critically influencing their production costs and environmental tolerance. While the transcription factor high-mobility group protein (HMG), characterized by a conserved HMG-box domain, has been extensively studied for its role in sexual development, its functions in ...

Dipeptidase PEPDA Is Required for the Conidiation Pattern Shift in Metarhizium acridum. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2021 Conidia, as the asexual propagules in many fungi, are the start and end of the fungal life cycle. In entomopathogenic fungi, conidia are the infective form essential for their pathogenicity.

Isoeugenol Affects Expression Pattern of Conidial Hydrophobin Gene RodA and Transcriptional Regulators MedA and SomA Responsible for Adherence and Biofilm Formation in Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
Archives of Microbiology, 2021 Abstract Aspergillus fumigatus is one of the major pathogenic fungal species, causing life-threatening infections. Due to a limited spectrum of available antifungals, exploration of new drug targets as well as potential antifungal molecules has become pertinent.

Patterns of Dothistroma septosporum conidial dispersal in Colombian Pinus tecunumanii plantations
Forest Pathology, 2023 AbstractDothistroma needle blight (DNB) caused by Dothistroma septosporum is one of the most important needle diseases of Pinus spp., especially in Southern Hemisphere plantations. In Colombia, the pathogen has caused severe outbreaks in plantations of Pinus tecunumanii of the low elevation population (LE).
