Aethionema arabicum dimorphic seed trait resetting during transition to seedlings [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceThe transition from germinating seeds to emerging seedlings is one of the most vulnerable plant life cycle stages. Heteromorphic diaspores (seed and fruit dispersal units) are an adaptive bet-hedging strategy to cope with spatiotemporally variable ...

Microbial Cell Factories, 2023 Background Yarrowia lipolytica is a dimorphic fungus, which switches from yeast to filament form in response to environmental conditions. For industrial purposes it is important to lock cells in the yeast or filamentous form depending on the fermentation

Calcineurin plays key roles in the dimorphic transition and virulence of the human pathogenic zygomycete Mucor circinelloides. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 Many pathogenic fungi are dimorphic and switch between yeast and filamentous states. This switch alters host-microbe interactions and is critical for pathogenicity.

Copper Ion Mediates Yeast-to-Hypha Transition in Yarrowia lipolytica
Journal of Fungi, 2023 Copper is an essential element that maintains yeast physiological function at low concentrations, but is toxic in excess. This study reported that Cu(II) significantly promoted the yeast-to-hypha transition of Yarrowia lipolytica in dose-dependent manner.

Journal of Fungi, 2020 The corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis serves as a model species for studying fungal dimorphism and its role in phytopathogenic development. The pathogen has two growth phases: a saprobic yeast phase and a pathogenic filamentous phase. Dimorphic transition

Coordinated gene family evolution shapes the genome of dimorphic Mucorales [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsDimorphic organisms possess the remarkable genome capacity to alternate genetic information between two distinct life forms. In dimorphic Mucorales, lineages can reversibly transition between yeast and mycelium as a function of environmental stimuli ...

Species-specific circular RNA circDS-1 enhances adaptive evolution in Talaromyces marneffei through regulation of dimorphic transition. [PDF]
PLoS GeneticsThermal adaptability is a crucial characteristic for mammalian pathogenic fungi that originally inhabit natural ecosystems. Thermally dimorphic fungi have evolved a unique ability to respond to host body temperature by shifting from mycelia to yeast. The

Juvenile hormone regulates the maturation of sexually dimorphic naive ethanol olfactory preference in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe molecular mechanisms underlying the maturation of innate reward behaviours remain poorly understood. We have identified a sexually dimorphic innate reward behaviour in Drosophila melanogaster that varies depending on the age, sex and mating status in

Influence of environmental and nutritional conditions on yeast–mycelial dimorphic transition in Trichosporon cutaneum [PDF]
Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2017 Trichosporon cutaneum is able to metabolize high hydrophobic natural compounds such as fatty acids and also can be used as an effective biodegrader to remove a number of toxic aromatic compounds from the environment.

Growth polarity transitions in a dimorphic fission yeast [PDF]
Microbiology, 1998 Summary: Fission yeast cells grow by extension at the ends (poles) and divide by transverse fission. It has previously been reported thatSchizosaccharomyces japonicusvar.japonicuscan switch to unipolar, filamentous growth. Here it is shown that the yeast-to-mycelium transition is a gradual process involving a changeover to unipolar growth associated ...
