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 ...

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.

pH regulation is a major determinant in expression of a fungal penicillin biosynthetic gene. [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 1993 Transcription of the ipnA gene encoding isopenicillin N synthetase, an enzyme of secondary metabolism, is under the control of the pH regulatory system in the fungus Aspergillus nidulans. External alkaline pH or mutations in pacC, the wide domain regulatory gene which mediates pH regulation, override carbon regulation of ipnA transcript levels ...

Fungal dimorphism regulated gene expression in Ustilago maydis : I. Filament up‐regulated genes
Molecular Plant Pathology, 2004 SUMMARY Ustilago maydis displays dimorphic growth alternating between a budding haploid and a filamentous dikaryon formed by mating of two haploid cells. This morphological switch plays a critical role in pathogenicity because only the filamentous dikaryon can infect maize.

Regulation of fungal gene expression via short open reading frames in the mRNA 5′untranslated region [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2003 SummaryWe review how the expression of fungal mRNAs can be controlled by ribosome interactions with short upstream open reading frames (uORFs) within the 5′untranslated region. The efficiency of uAUG recognition modulates the impact of a uORF but steps during and after translation of the uORF also influence uORF function. The post‐termination behaviour

Fungal dimorphism regulated gene expression in Ustilago maydis : II. Filament down‐regulated genes
Molecular Plant Pathology, 2004 SUMMARY Ustilago maydis displays dimorphic growth alternating between a budding haploid form and a filamentous dikaryon resulting from mating of two haploid cells. This morphological switch plays a critical role in pathogenicity because only the filamentous dikaryon can infect corn plants ...

The Petunia GRAS Transcription Factor ATA/RAM1 Regulates Symbiotic Gene Expression and Fungal Morphogenesis in Arbuscular Mycorrhiza [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2015 Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is a mutual symbiosis that involves a complex symbiotic interface over which nutrients are exchanged between the plant host and the AM fungus. Dozens of genes in the host are required for the establishment and functioning of the interaction, among them nutrient transporters that mediate the uptake of mineral nutrients ...

The WOPR family protein Ryp1 is a key regulator of gene expression, development, and virulence in the thermally dimorphic fungal pathogen Coccidioides posadasii [PDF]
PLOS Pathogens, 2021 AbstractCoccidioides spp. are mammalian fungal pathogens endemic to the southwestern US and other desert regions of Mexico, central and South America, with the bulk of US infections occurring in California and Arizona. In the soil, Coccidioides grows in a hyphal form that differentiates into 3-5 micron asexual spores (arthroconidia). When arthroconidia

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.
