Regulatory Roles of Histone Modifications in Filamentous Fungal Pathogens
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Filamentous fungal pathogens have evolved diverse strategies to infect a variety of hosts including plants and insects. The dynamic infection process requires rapid and fine-tuning regulation of fungal gene expression programs in response to the changing

Small RNA Analyses of a Ceratobasidium Isolate Infected with Three Endornaviruses
Viruses, 2022 Isolates of three endornavirus species were identified co-infecting an unidentified species of Ceratobasidium, itself identified as a symbiont from within the roots of a wild plant of the terrestrial orchid Pterostylis vittata in Western Australia ...

Induced fungal resistance to insect grazing: reciprocal fitness consequences and fungal gene expression in the Drosophila-Aspergillus model system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Fungi are key dietary resources for many animals. Fungi, in consequence, have evolved sophisticated physical and chemical defences for repelling and impairing fungivores.

Nucleosome patterns in four plant pathogenic fungi with contrasted genome structures
Peer Community Journal, 2023 Fungal pathogens represent a serious threat towards agriculture, health, and environment. Control of fungal diseases on crops necessitates a global understanding of fungal pathogenicity determinants and their expression during infection.

Oxalate-metabolising genes of the white-rot fungus Dichomitus squalens are differentially induced on wood and at high proton concentration. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Oxalic acid is a prevalent fungal metabolite with versatile roles in growth and nutrition, including degradation of plant biomass. However, the toxicity of oxalic acid makes regulation of its intra- and extracellular concentration crucial.

DNA-Demethylase Regulated Genes Show Methylation-Independent Spatiotemporal Expression Patterns
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Recent research has indicated that a subset of defense-related genes is downregulated in the Arabidopsis DNA demethylase triple mutant rdd (ros1 dml2 dml3) resulting in increased susceptibility to the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum.
