The barley powdery mildew effectors CSEP0139 and CSEP0182 suppress cell death and promote B. graminis fungal virulence in plants

open access: yes, 2021
The powdery mildew fungi secrete numerous Candidate Secreted Effector Proteins (CSEPs) to manipulate host immunity during infection of host plants. However, the function of most of these CSEPs in cell death suppression has not yet been established. Here,

A M35 family metalloprotease is required for fungal virulence against insects by inactivating host prophenoloxidases and beyond

open access: yesVirulence, 2020
A diverse family of metalloproteases (MPs) is distributed in eukaryotes. However, the functions of MPs are still understudied. We report that seven MPs belonging to the M35 family are encoded in the genome of the insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium ...

Mutagenesis of Putative Acylation Sites Alters Function, Localization, and Accumulation of a Giα Subunit of the Chestnut Blight Fungus Cryphonectria parasitica

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1998
Targeted disruption of cpg-1, a gene encoding the G protein Giα subunit, CPG-1, in the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, results in reduced mycelial growth, reduced orange pigmentation, loss of virulence, loss of asexual sporulation, and ...

Rearing and Maintenance of Galleria mellonella and Its Application to Study Fungal Virulence

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2020
Galleria mellonella larvae have been widely used as alternative non-mammalian models for the study of fungal virulence and pathogenesis. The larvae can be acquired in small volumes from worm farms, pet stores, or other independent suppliers commonly ...

Mitochondrial control of fungal hybrid virulence [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2001
Hybrid species of fungal pathogens that infect wild and cultivated plants are emerging with new virulence and host ranges, posing a threat to agriculture and forestry1. Here we show that the virulence of hybrid species of the basidiomycete fungus Heterobasidion annosum (Fr) Bref, a causal agent of root and butt rot in conifers and one of the most ...

Proteinaceous necrotrophic effectors in fungal virulence [PDF]

open access: yesFunctional Plant Biology, 2010
The host–pathogen interface can be considered as a biological battlefront. Molecules produced by both the pathogen and the host are critical factors determining the outcome of the interaction. Recent studies have revealed that an increasing number of necrotrophic fungal pathogens produce small proteinaceous effectors that are able to function as ...
