The Basic Helix–Loop–Helix Transcription Factors UvBhlh1 and UvBhlh6 Coordinate Virulence in the Rice False Smut Fungus Ustilaginoidea virens

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Transcription factors UvBhlh1 and UvBhlh6 are essential for early infection and virulence in Ustilaginoidea virens. These two proteins form a heterodimer that cooperatively regulates downstream target genes during pathogenesis. ABSTRACT Ustilaginoidea virens is the causal agent of rice false smut, a devastating and globally widespread fungal disease ...

The Fusarium sacchari Effector FsP4H1 Targets the Transcription Factor DPb to Disrupt Catalase‐Mediated H2O2 Homeostasis and Suppress Host Immunity

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
FsP4H1 interacts with the transcription factor DPb, a positive regulator of plant immunity, and facilitates its degradation via the 26S proteasome. This degradation leads to downregulation of catalase genes ScCAT9, ScCAT34 or NbCAT to enhance host susceptibility. ABSTRACT Pokkah boeng disease has been reported in nearly all countries where sugarcane is

ERAD Component MoHrd3 Facilitates Pathogenicity and Establishes a Direct Regulation on Autophagy in Magnaporthe Oryzae

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 24, 27 April 2026.
MoHrd3 plays a crucial role in regulating the pathogenicity of Magnaporthe oryzae. As an ER‐associated degradation component, MoHrd3 involves in ER stress‐triggered autophagy. It facilitates the fusion between the autophagosome and the vacuole via enhancing the interaction between MoAtg8 and MoYpt7.

Glutathione Impacts Both Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Virulence and Amphibian Cellular Defense in a Chytridiomycosis Model

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Glutathione shapes interactions between Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and amphibian hosts. In Bd, glutathione reductase is essential for survival, and exogenous glutathione enhances zoospore release. In host cells, Bd infection depletes glutathione and increases oxidative stress.

Fungus Derived Indole‐3‐Acetic Acid Controls Developmental Conidial Death in Magnaporthe oryzae

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
The severity of rice blast disease, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, is influenced by IAA concentration and cell density. IAA regulates ferroptotic death of the developing conidia by affecting iron and lipid homeostasis. ABSTRACT Ferroptotic death of the developing conidia is important for pathogenicity of the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae ...
