Photocontrol of Fungal Spore Germination [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1975 Germination of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici uredospores is inhibited by continuous irradiation. Prehydration of spores enhances both dark germination and photoinhibition. Simultaneous irradiation with ineffective red (653 nanometers) and inhibitory far red light (720 nanometers) results in partial nullification of the inhibition brought about by ...

A Natural Fungal Gene Drive Enacts Killing via DNA Disruption
mBio, 2023 Fungal spore killers are a class of selfish genetic elements that positively bias their own inheritance by killing non-inheriting gametes following meiosis.

Subversion of Atypical Mucin Traps by a Spore-Coat Effector Blocks Cellular Immunity in Drosophila. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)While the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii can evade insect humoral immunity, its subversion of cellular defenses is still elusive. We identify Eac1 as a spore‐coat protein essential for infecting drosophilids by targeting atypical mucins (Sgf1 and Sgf2), which can entrap spores in a gel matrix and thereby facilitate hemocyte encapsulation.

Morphological development of Aspergillus niger in submerged citric acid fermentation as a function of the spore inoculum level. Application of neural network and cluster analysis for characterization of mycelial morphology [PDF]
, 2006 Although the citric acid fermentation by Aspergillus niger is one of the most important industrial microbial processes and various aspects of the fermentation appear in a very large number of publications since the 1950s, the effect of the spore inoculum

Do Fungal Spore Morphological Traits Correlate with Allergenicity?
MycoAsia - Journal of Modern Mycology, 2022 Fungal spores, like pollen, are identified as sources of allergens, yet fungal spore morphology, unlike pollen morphology, has not been correlated with allergenicity.

Surface tension propulsion of fungal spores [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2009 SUMMARYMost basidiomycete fungi actively eject their spores. The process begins with the condensation of a water droplet at the base of the spore. The fusion of the droplet onto the spore creates a momentum that propels the spore forward. The use of surface tension for spore ejection offers a new paradigm to perform work at small length scales. However,

A novel method for standardized application of fungal spore coatings for mosquito exposure bioassays
Malaria Journal, 2010 Background Interest in the use of fungal entomopathogens against malaria vectors is growing. Fungal spores infect insects via the cuticle and can be applied directly on the insect to evaluate infectivity.
