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.

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 Abstract Coccidioides 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.

Roles of AaVeA on Mycotoxin Production via Light in Alternaria alternata
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Alternaria alternata is a principal plant pathogen responsible for the biosynthesis of mycotoxins, including tenuazonic acid (TeA), alternariol (AOH), and alternariol monomethyl ether (AME).

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 ...

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

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 ...

Discovering Functions of Unannotated Genes from a Transcriptome Survey of Wild Fungal Isolates
mBio, 2014 Most fungal genomes are poorly annotated, and many fungal traits of industrial and biomedical relevance are not well suited to classical genetic screens. Assigning genes to phenotypes on a genomic scale thus remains an urgent need in the field.

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.
