Sexual Dimorphism in the Transition From Masked to Sustained Hypertension in Healthy Youths [PDF]
Hypertension, 2013 The risk and factors related to the development of hypertension among healthy youths with elevated ambulatory and normal conventional blood pressure, masked hypertension, have not been established. We performed a long-term follow-up study assessing how hypertension develops over time in healthy, masked hypertensive youths.

Changes in the Sexual Dimorphism of Triatominae in the Transition from Natural to Artificial Habitats [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999 A shift from large to small average sizes was observed in Triatoma infestans and Rhodnius domesticus between field and domestic (or laboratory) conditions of life. It was more pronounced in the female specimens, leading to a subsequent reduction of sexual size dimorphism.

Proteomic analysis of dimorphic transition in the phytopathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis [PDF]
PROTEOMICS, 2007 AbstractIn the corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis, the dimorphic transition from budding to filamentous growth is intrinsically associated with the switch from a saprophytic to a pathogenic lifestyle. Both pathogenicity and filament formation are triggered by a heterodimeric homeodomain transcription factor encoded by the b mating type locus.

Sexual dimorphism in aipysurine sea snakes (Elapidae, Hydrophiinae)
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 The transition from terrestrial to aquatic life by hydrophiine elapid snakes modified targets of natural selection and likely affected sexual selection also. Thus, the shift to marine life also might have affected sexual dimorphism.

Identification of factors involved in dimorphism and pathogenicity of Zymoseptoria tritici. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 A forward genetics approach was applied in order to investigate the molecular basis of morphological transition in the wheat pathogenic fungus Zymoseptoria tritici. Z.

Journal of Fungi, 2023 Beauveria bassiana is a dimorphic and entomopathogenic fungus with different ecological roles in nature. In pathogenic fungi, yeast-to-mycelial conversion, which is controlled by environmental factors, is required for virulence.

A transcription factor, MrMsn2, in the dimorphic fungus Metarhizium rileyi is essential for dimorphism transition, aggravated pigmentation, conidiation and microsclerotia formation [PDF]
Microbial Biotechnology, 2018 Summary Microsclerotia ( MS ) are pseudoparenchymatous aggregations of hyphae of fungi that can be induced in liquid culture for biocontrol applications. Previously, we determined that the high‐osmolarity glycerol ( HOG ) signalling ...

mSystems, 2019 Dimorphic plant and human mycopathogens require a switch from the usual yeast growth to filamentous growth for host tissue penetration, and the switch is controlled by multiple signaling systems other than the central developmental pathway.
