Transposable element insertions shape gene regulation and melanin production in a fungal pathogen of wheat

BMC Biology, 2018
Background Fungal plant pathogens pose major threats to crop yield and sustainable food production if they are highly adapted to their host and the local environment.

Regulation of gene expression by the action of a fungal lncRNA on a transactivator [PDF]

RNA Biology, 2019
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial factors acting on regulatory processes in eukaryotes. Recently, for the first time in a filamentous fungus, the lncRNA HAX1 was characterized in the ascomycete Trichoderma reesei.

Differential transcriptomic profiling of filamentous fungus during solid-state and submerged fermentation and identification of an essential regulatory gene PoxMBF1 that directly regulated cellulase and xylanase gene expression

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019
Background Solid-state fermentation (SSF) mimics the natural decay environment of soil fungi and can be employed to investigate the production of plant biomass-degrading enzymes. However, knowledge on the transcriptional regulation of fungal genes during

ATAC-Seq Identifies Chromatin Landscapes Linked to the Regulation of Oxidative Stress in the Human Fungal Pathogen Candida albicans

Journal of Fungi, 2020
Human fungal pathogens often encounter fungicidal stress upon host invasion, but they can swiftly adapt by transcriptional reprogramming that enables pathogen survival. Fungal immune evasion is tightly connected to chromatin regulation.

Reference genes for gene expression analysis in the fungal pathogen Neonectria ditissima and their use demonstrating expression up-regulation of candidate virulence genes.

PLoS ONE, 2020
European canker, caused by the necrotrophic fungal phytopathogen Neonectria ditissima, is one of the most damaging apple diseases worldwide. An understanding of the molecular basis of N. ditissima virulence is currently lacking.

Comparative Transcriptome Analyses in Zymoseptoria tritici Reveal Significant Differences in Gene Expression Among Strains During Plant Infection

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2017
Zymoseptoria tritici is an ascomycete fungus that causes Septoria tritici blotch, a globally distributed foliar disease on wheat. Z. tritici populations are highly polymorphic and exhibit significant quantitative variation for virulence.

Unveiling a pervasive DNA adenine methylation regulatory network in the early-diverging fungus Rhizopus microsporus [PDF]

Nature Communications
Development of the DNA affinity purification and sequencing (DAP-seq) technique has allowed genome-scale studies of transcription factor (TF)-binding sites with high reproducibility.

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 ...

A functionally conserved Zn2Cys6 binuclear cluster transcription factor class regulates necrotrophic effector gene expression and host‐specific virulence of two major Pleosporales fungal pathogens of wheat [PDF]

Molecular plant pathology, 2017
Summary The fungus Parastagonospora nodorum is the causal agent of Septoria nodorum blotch of wheat (Triticum aestivum). The interaction is mediated by multiple fungal necrotrophic effector–dominant host sensitivity gene interactions.

MicroRNA-mediated regulation of gene expression in the response of rice plants to fungal elicitors [PDF]

RNA Biology, 2015
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that have important regulatory functions in plant growth, development, and response to abiotic stress. Increasing evidence also supports that plant miRNAs contribute to immune responses to pathogens. Here, we used deep sequencing of small RNA libraries for global identification of rice miRNAs that are ...
