Ergosterol-Induced Sesquiterpenoid Synthesis in Tobacco Cells

Molecules, 2012
Plants have the ability to continuously respond to microbial signals in their environment. One of these stimuli is a steroid from fungal membranes, ergosterol, which does not occur in plants, but acts as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern molecule ...

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.

Ergosterol from the soilborne fungus Ganoderma boninense. [PDF]

, 2011
Ergosterol is the main component of the fungal membrane and is not found in plants or other microbial cells. Therefore, it can be a useful biomarker for the quantification of fungal biomass.

“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.

Phosphatidylserine polarization is required for proper Cdc42 localization and for development of cell polarity. [PDF]

, 2010
We used genetically-encoded fluorescent probes to visualize the distribution of phosphatidylserine (PS) in live S. cerevisiae. The majority of the PS was found to reside in the cytosolic leaflet of the plasma membrane.
