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

The Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase GhNTF3 Modulates the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis-Immunity Trade-Off in Cotton by Regulating Salicylic Acid Biosynthesis. [PDF]
AM symbiosis induces GhWAK13 to promote fungal colonization. GhNTF3 negatively regulates symbiosis by promoting SA biosynthesis. GhWAK13 sequesters GhNTF3 at the membrane, limiting its nuclear translocation and relieving SA‐mediated suppression. Under Verticillium stress, GhNTF3 enters the nucleus and interacts with GhJAZ6 to activate SA signaling ...

Regulation of fungal gene expression via short open reading frames in the mRNA 5′untranslated region [PDF]
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

pH regulation is a major determinant in expression of a fungal penicillin biosynthetic gene. [PDF]
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 ...

Regulatory Roles of Histone Modifications in Filamentous Fungal Pathogens
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
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 ...

The COMPASS‐like complex modulates fungal development and pathogenesis by regulating H3K4me3‐mediated targeted gene expression in Magnaporthe oryzae [PDF]
Abstract Histone‐3‐lysine‐4 (H3K4) methylation is catalysed by the multiprotein complex known as the Set1/COMPASS or MLL/COMPASS‐like complex, an element that is highly evolutionarily conserved from yeast to humans.

Doxycycline-regulated gene expression in the opportunistic fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
Abstract Background Although Aspergillus fumigatus is an important human fungal pathogen there are few expression systems available to study the contribution of specific genes to the growth and virulence of this opportunistic mould.
