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.

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.

FgCot1 Regulates Polarized Growth and Conidiation in Fusarium graminearum via Gpmk1 MAPK and Tsf1 Transcriptional Pathways

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
FgCot1 is a nuclear Dbf2‐related kinase in Fusarium graminearum. It inhibits activation of the Gpmk1 MAPK pathway and interacts with transcription factor Tsf1 to regulate its nuclear localization. FgCot1 integrates Gpmk1 signalling and Tsf1‐dependent transcriptional regulation to govern polarized growth and conidiation in F. graminearum.

A DUF3455 domain‐containing protein promotes Ustilaginoidea virens infection and functions as a plant immune elicitor

New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
The fungal effector UvDUF1 from Ustilaginoidea virens not only promotes infection but also acts as a plant immunity elicitor, inducing broad‐spectrum disease resistance in rice and Nicotiana benthamiana. These results reveal its potential as a novel target for sustainable crop protection strategies.

FgJhd2 Modulates FgMpf2 Expression via H3K4 Demethylation and Influences Sexual Development in Fusarium graminearum

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
The histone demethylase FgJhd2 regulates sexual reproduction in the fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum via H3K4me3 demethylation. Mechanistically, FgJhd2 restricts H3K4 methylation to suppress the expression of FgMpf2, an RNA‐binding protein involved in RNA degradation.

Sugar sensing and regulation of conidiation in Neurospora crassa [PDF]

, 2004
The orange bread mold Neurospora crassa is a useful model for the study of filamentous fungi. One of the asexual reproduction cycles in N. crassa, macroconidiation, can be induced by several environmental cues, including glucose starvation.

Exploring the Antifungal Potential of the Brown Macroalga Hormophysa triquetra: Morphological Disruptions and Structural Changes in Plant Pathogens

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Extracts of Hormophysa triquetra showed antifungal activity with marked hyphal deformities in Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata. Light microscopy and SEM confirmed structural alterations despite unchanged radial growth. Cucumber assays validated reduced disease incidence, linked to fatty‐acid–rich metabolites detected by GC–MS.

A Conserved Magnaporthe oryzae Effector Counteracts the Rice Ubiquitin‐Proteasome System by Disrupting the E2 Function to Suppress Immunity

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4302-4316, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Pathogens commonly secrete effectors into host cells to facilitate invasion. In the host ubiquitin‐proteasome system (UPS), E3 ubiquitin ligases often target pathogen effectors for degradation, thereby enhancing immune responses. In turn, pathogen effectors frequently disrupt E3 ligase function to promote virulence. However, it remains largely
