Fungal genomics and pathogenicity
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2001The filamentous fungal genetics community has enthusiastically embraced the utilization of genomics technologies to resolve long-standing issues in fungal biology. For example, such technologies have been proposed to study the mechanics of tip growth, photoreception, gene silencing, the molecular basis of conidiation, the pathway leading to sexual ...

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 1998
Successful penetration of living plant tissue by fungal pathogens is preceded by an exchange of signals between both organisms. Recent mutational approaches revealed the importance of cAMP-dependent signalling pathways for fungal development and virulence on their hosts.

Unusual fungal pathogens in fungal rhinosinusitis
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2000Approximately 300 fungal species are known to cause mycotic disease in humans and other animals. More than 50 of these species are documented as agents of rhinosinusitis. Most such infections are caused by species of Aspergillus, Rhizopus, Alternaria, Bipolaris, and Curvularia. A growing number, however, has been attributed to lesser known fungi. Here,

Fungal infection is 'sensed' by host cell–expressed receptors. Two papers demonstrate that the C-type lectin receptor dectin-1 is required in vivo for cytokine production and killing of different fungal pathogens.

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2023
COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the complications of secondary fungal infections that occurred globally in severe cases of coronavirus disease managed in the intensive care units. Furthermore, varied underlying host factors, such as preexisting immunosuppression, the use of immunomodulatory agents, and invasive procedures predisposing lung tissues to ...

2012
Over the course of evolution, fungi have adapted to occupy specific niches, from symbiotically inhabiting the flora of the intestinal tract of mammals to saprophytic growth on leaf litter resting on the forest floor. In Plant Fungal Pathogens: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers in the field detail many of the methods which are now commonly used ...

Biological control of fungal pathogens
Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 1994Biological control of soil-borne plant pathogens is a potential alternative to the use of chemical pesticides, which have already been proved to be harmful to the environment. Several strains of the fungus Trichoderma have been isolated and found to be effective biocontrol agents of various soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi under greenhouse and field ...

Hyphal chemotropism in fungal pathogenicity
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2016The ability to grow as filamentous hyphae defines the lifestyle of fungi. Hyphae are exposed to a variety of chemical stimuli such as nutrients or signal molecules from mating partners and host organisms. How fungi sense and process this chemical information to steer hyphal growth is poorly understood.

Highlights in pathogenic fungal biofilms
Revista Iberoamericana de Micología, 2014A wide variety of fungi have demonstrated the ability to colonize surfaces and form biofilms. Most studies on fungal biofilms have focused on Candida albicans and more recently, several authors have reported the involvement of other genera of yeasts and Candida species, as well as of filamentous fungi in the formation of biofilms, including ...

Overview of the Fungal Pathogens
2014This chapter provides basic knowledge of fungal biology that is necessary for proper comprehension of the intimate mechanisms and strategies that fungi have adopted in causing infections and diseases. Fungal morphogenesis, dimorphism, and phenotypic switching are now beginning to be explored at the molecular and genetic levels.
