Drivers of the fungal spore bioaerosol budget: observational analysis and global modeling [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 Bioaerosols are produced by biological processes and directly emitted into the atmosphere, where they contribute to ice nucleation and the formation of precipitation.

Research and Development of Automatic Detection Instrument for Stored Grain Fungi
Liang you shipin ke-ji, 2021 Fungus is one of the primary factors endangering the safety of grain storage.The rapid detection of fungi on stored grain in early stage is an effective measure to prevent and control the fungal multiplication and ensure food security.In 2018,an industry

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.

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.
