Engineered Yarrowia lipolytica inducing gene silencing confers control ability against gray mold in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Engineered the plant‐colonizing yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to produce and deliver double‐stranded RNAs targeting key genes of the gray mold fungus Botrytis cinerea produced a ‘living factory’ that continuously synthesizes and releases gene‐silencing molecules on plant surfaces, effectively suppressing the pathogen.

Comparative genomics reveals lineage‐associated structural variation and diversification in a barley fungal pathogen

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Genome‐wide copy‐number variation landscape highlights structural divergence across Puccinia hordei isolates and potentially links Cyp51 amplification to fungicide insensitivity. Summary Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia hordei, is a major barley disease worldwide.

Ergosterol Concentration of Several Different Saccharomyces cerevisiae Yeast Strains [PDF]

, 2017
Differences in the formation of ergosterol in yeast cells have been found amongst several wine yeast strains used in South Africa. A higher ergosterol content is generally accompanied by a faster fermentation rate and results in a shortening of ...

Polar Lipid and Fatty Acid Profiles of Oat Groats Substantially Influenced by Field Management: A Comparison of Cultivars, Sowing Times and Fertilizer Composition

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The polar lipids in oat grains are crucial due to their biological functions, nutritional quality, potential use in food flavour and processing, the protection they provide against biotic and abiotic stresses, and their ability to act as cellular signalling molecules.

Application of UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS-Based Metabonomic Techniques to Analyze the Cordyceps cicadae Metabolic Profile Changes to the CO(NH₂)₂ Response Mechanism in the Process of Ergosterol Synthesis

Fermentation
Nitrogen source is a necessary nutrient factor in the process of mycelial growth and metabolite synthesis. To improve the yield of ergosterol, in the previous study, we used transcriptome technology to explore the difference in gene expression of ...

Pinus‐derived membrane vesicles disrupt pathogenic metabolism in fungi

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Needle‐derived vesicles from pine trees impair fungal metabolism and growth, offering a sustainable strategy to control pine pitch canker disease. Abstract Much of what we know about the biological impacts of vesicles (MVs) is derived from Arabidopsis thaliana.

“Is This Edible Anyway?” The Impact of Culture on the Evolution (and Devolution) of Mushroom Knowledge

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mushrooms are a ubiquitous and essential component in our biological environment and have been of interest to humans around the globe for millennia. Knowledge about mushrooms represents a prime example of cumulative culture, one of the key processes in human evolution.

Contrasting effects of multifactorial carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus amendments on soil microbial carbon‐use efficiency and biomass turnover in a subtropical grassland and forest soil

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Soil microbial carbon‐use efficiency (CUE) and biomass turnover have been identified as important drivers of biogeochemical processes; however, we lack a comprehensive understanding of the factors driving them. Here, we tested how multifactorial carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) amendments affect microbial CUE and biomass turnover ...
