The guanine nucleotide exchange factor RIC8 regulates conidial germination through Gα proteins in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
Heterotrimeric G protein signaling is essential for normal hyphal growth in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. We have previously demonstrated that the non-receptor guanine nucleotide exchange factor RIC8 acts upstream of the Gα proteins GNA-1 and

Phylogeny and taxonomy of the Ophiostoma piceae complex and the Dutch elm disease fungi [PDF]
The Ophiostoma piceae complex forms a monophyletic group of insect-dispersed pyrenomycetes with synnemata (Pesotum) and micronematous (Sporothrix) synanamorphs. Other species of Ophios-toma outside of the O.

Statistical modelling of conidial discharge of entomophthoralean fungi using a newly discovered Pandora species [PDF]
Entomophthoralean fungi are insect pathogenic fungi and are characterized by their active discharge of infective conidia that infect insects. Our aim was to study the effects of temperature on the discharge and to characterize the variation in the ...

Endosporoideus gen. nov., a mitosporic fungus on Phoenix hanceana [PDF]
Endosporoideus pedicellata gen. et sp. nov. is described and illustrated from decaying petioles of Phoenix hanceana collected from grassland in Tai Mo Shan, Hong Kong. The genus is unique in producing solitary, phragmosporous conidia.

Conidial Nucleation in Stemphylium botryosum
Conidial nuclcation in an isolate of Stemphylium botryosum obtained from lucerne was investigated using the HCl-Giennsa technique. Conidiophores arose as anucleate buds into which somatic nuclei migrated. After attaining varying stages of complexity the

β-glucan-dependent shuttling of conidia from neutrophils to macrophages occurs during fungal infection establishment [PDF]
The initial host response to fungal pathogen invasion is critical to infection establishment and outcome. However, the diversity of leukocyte-pathogen interactions is only recently being appreciated.

Optimizing growth and conidia production of Cercospora medicaginis
The fungus Cercospora medicaginis is pathogenic to annual and perennial Medicago species. It grows slowly and produces only few conidia. To test the pathogenicity or virulence of C.
