Phytotoxins, secondary metabolites toxic to plants and produced by fungi, are believed to play an important role in disease development by targeting host cellular machineries and/or interfering with host immune responses. The Ascochyta blight diseases on

Regulation of Secondary Metabolism by the Velvet Complex Is Temperature-Responsive in Aspergillus
Sensing and responding to environmental cues is critical to the lifestyle of filamentous fungi. How environmental variation influences fungi to produce a wide diversity of ecologically important secondary metabolites (SMs) is not well understood.

Evolutionary Histories of Type III Polyketide Synthases in Fungi
Type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) produce secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities, including antimicrobials. While they have been extensively studied in plants and bacteria, only a handful of type III PKSs from fungi has been ...

Genetics of Dothistromin Biosynthesis of Dothistroma septosporum: An Update
Dothistroma needle blight is one of the most devastating fungal pine diseases worldwide. The disease is characterized by accumulation in pine needles of a red toxin, dothistromin, that is chemically related to aflatoxin (AF) and sterigmatocystin (ST ...

Genome comparison between the maize pathogens Ustilago maydis and Sporisorium reilianum revealed a large diversity region (19-1) containing nearly 30 effector gene candidates, whose deletion severely hampers virulence of both fungi.

Triggering the expression of a silent gene cluster from genetically intractable bacteria results in scleric acid discovery [PDF]
In this study, we report the rapid characterisation of a novel microbial natural product resulting from the rational derepression of a silent gene cluster.

Mutational analysis of a phenazine biosynthetic gene cluster in Streptomyces anulatus 9663
The biosynthetic gene cluster for endophenazines, i.e., prenylated phenazines from Streptomyces anulatus 9663, was heterologously expressed in several engineered host strains derived from Streptomyces coelicolor M145.
