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.

Simulated atmospheric N deposition alters fungal community composition and suppresses ligninolytic gene expression in a northern hardwood forest. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 High levels of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition may result in greater terrestrial carbon (C) storage. In a northern hardwood ecosystem, exposure to over a decade of simulated N deposition increased C storage in soil by slowing litter decay rates ...

Slt2 kinase of the cell wall integrity pathway is required for Fks2-specific echinocandin resistance in <i>Candida glabrata</i>. [PDF]
Microbiol SpectrCandida glabrata is an opportunistic yeast that causes invasive infections in immunocompromised individuals. Echinocandin antifungals are first-line agents in the treatment of invasive candidiasis and act by inhibiting fungal cell wall synthesis by ...

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 ...

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.
