Identification of Yeast Protein Sequences With Similarity to the ESCRT‐III Protein Snf7
Yeast, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT‐III) is a membrane remodeling complex involved in a large number of cellular processes. It appears to perform an essential function in eukaryotes, since to date no eukaryotic organism completely devoid of ESCRT‐III has been found.

Yeast, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The knockout strain collection of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has served as a valuable resource for functional genomics and yeast‐based biotechnology studies. A comprehensive single‐gene knockout strain collection, covering nearly all non‐essential genes, together with complementary mutant collections for essential genes, including temperature ...

Impact of harvest intensity on ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungal communities in forest soils
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Low‐intensity tree harvesting has been proposed as a sustainable forest management practice to balance and preserve forest productivity, carbon storage and resilience to climate extremes. Soil fungi play a central role in driving tree performance and soil carbon storage,

Clinical Otolaryngology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a persistent sinus condition caused by fungal allergies. Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and postoperative systematic and local medical therapies are the most common treatment protocols. Although oral antifungals such as itraconazole are frequently utilised postoperatively, there is increasing

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Application of the fungicide Switch 62.5 WG in garden strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa), targeting Botrytis cinerea, reduced sawfly (Cladius spp.) herbivory by up to 94% and improved fruit quality. This non‐target effect also spilled over to neighbouring untreated plants, lowering damage by 46%.

Phylogenetic distribution of fungal sterols. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Ergosterol has been considered the "fungal sterol" for almost 125 years; however, additional sterol data superimposed on a recent molecular phylogeny of kingdom Fungi reveals a different and more complex situation.
