Distinct actomyosin–septin coordination governs conidiation and septation in Verticillium dahliae

open access: yesmLife, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 35-50, February 2026.
Abstract Conidiation is the primary mode of reproduction in filamentous fungi and is essential for the dispersal of pathogenic species. However, the fundamental cellular mechanisms regulating conidiation in plant pathogenic fungi remain largely unexplored. Here, using Verticillium dahliae as a model, we investigated the dynamic assembly and function of

Host Preference Associated With Deoxynivalenol and Nivalenol Chemotypes in Fusarium graminearum, F. asiaticum, and F. meridionale

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study provides the genetic basis for host preference associated with deoxynivalenol and nivalenol chemotypes in Fusarium graminearum, F. asiaticum, and F. meridionale. ABSTRACT Members of Fusarium sambucinum species complex (FSAMSC), major mycotoxigenic phytopathogens, affect cereal crops such as wheat and rice.

Hypovirus‐Induced Phosphorylation of CpIre1 Modulates Unfolded Protein Response and Virulence in Cryphonectria parasitica

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Hypovirus‐induced phosphorylation of CpIre1 modulates the endoplasmic reticulum stress response in Cryphonectria parasitica. ABSTRACT The chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica and its hypovirus constitute a valuable model for investigating fungal pathogenesis and cross‐kingdom virus–host interplay.

Role of the Kinesin-like Protein KipB in Aspergillus nidulans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Molecular motors are protein machines, which power almost all forms of movement in the living world. Among the best known are the motors that hydrolyze ATP and use the derived energy to generate force.

A Core Effector MoPce1 Is Required for the Pathogenicity of Magnaporthe oryzae by Modulating Catalase‐Mediated H2O2 Homeostasis in Rice

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
MoPce1, an atypical CAP/PR‐1 family effector, is essential for Magnaporthe oryzae virulence. MoPce1 functions by interacting with the rice catalase OsCATC to disrupt ROS homeostasis, thereby promoting host susceptibility. ABSTRACT Plant pathogens employ a diverse array of effectors to facilitate host colonisation, including evolutionarily conserved ...

Mixed Impacts of the Mycovirus Fusarium Culmorum Phenuivirus 1 on Fusarium culmorum: Laboratory and In Planta Investigations

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Fusarium culmorum phenuivirus 1 caused no changes in laboratory‐based assays and shows mild hypovirulence in a susceptible wheat cultivar under semifield conditions. It is highly transmissible both via spores and hyphal contact. ABSTRACT The mycovirus Fusarium culmorum phenuivirus 1 (FcPV1) infects the wheat pathogen Fusarium culmorum, a causal agent ...

Robust anti-oxidant defences in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae confer tolerance to the host oxidative burst [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
•Plants respond to pathogen attack via a rapid burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, ROS are also produced by fungal metabolism and are required for the development of infection structures in Magnaporthe oryzae.

The Mycovirus Cryphonectria Hypovirus 1 Infects the Heterologous Host Fusarium oxysporum and Induces Hypovirulence

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
The Cryphonectria parasitica hypovirus CHV1 efficiently replicates in the heterologous host Fusarium oxysporum, inducing clear hypovirulence, and has the potential to persist and spread in this pathogen by constant infections and re‐infections through hyphal anastomosis.

Studies on the release of neutrophil extracellular traps and IFN-γ as part of the innate immune response to Aspergillus fumigatus and on the fungal stress response via the hybrid sensor kinase TcsC [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Aspergillus fumigatus is a saprophytic mold that naturally inhabits the soil. Asexual reproduction yields hardy conidia that circulate in the air and are inhaled daily by humans.
