Developmentally regulated cell death on expression of the fungal avirulence gene Avr9 in tomato seedlings carrying the disease-resistance gene Cf-9. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1994
Plant defense responses are induced when the products of disease-resistance genes and pathogen avirulence genes interact. We report here the effects of expressing the Cladosporium fulvum avirulence Avr9 gene product in a tomato line containing the Cf-9 disease-resistance gene.

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

The Ustilago maydis Cys₂His₂‐type zinc finger transcription factor Mzr1 regulates fungal gene expression during the biotrophic growth stage [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2008
SummaryThe smut fungus Ustilago maydis establishes a biotrophic relationship with its host plant maize to progress through sexual development. Here, we report the identification and characterization of the Cys2His2‐type zinc finger protein Mzr1 that functions as a transcriptional activator during host colonization. Expression of the U.

The limpet transcription factors of Triatoma infestans regulate the response to fungal infection and modulate the expression pattern of defensin genes [PDF]

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2019
As part of the innate humoral response to microbial attack, insects activate the expression of antimicrobial peptides (AMP). Understanding the regulatory mechanisms of this response in the Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans is important since biological control strategies against pyrethroid-resistant insect populations were recently addressed by ...

Analysis of miRNAs in Two Wheat Cultivars Infected With Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
MicroRNAs are small RNAs that regulate gene expression in eukaryotes. In this study, we analyzed the small RNA profiles of two cultivars that exhibit different reactions to stripe rust infection: one susceptible, the other partially resistant.

The Genome-Wide Characterization of Alternative Splicing and RNA Editing in the Development of Coprinopsis cinerea

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Coprinopsis cinerea is one of the model species used in fungal developmental studies. This mushroom-forming Basidiomycetes fungus has several developmental destinies in response to changing environments, with dynamic developmental regulations of the ...

Responses of Aspergillus flavus to Oxidative Stress Are Related to Fungal Development Regulator, Antioxidant Enzyme, and Secondary Metabolite Biosynthetic Gene Expression [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The infection of maize and peanut with Aspergillus flavus and subsequent contamination with aflatoxin pose a threat to global food safety and human health, and is exacerbated by drought stress. Drought stress-responding compounds such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) are associated with fungal stress responsive signaling and secondary metabolite ...

Expression of the Avirulence Gene Avr9 of the Fungal Tomato Pathogen Cladosporium fulvum Is Regulated by the Global Nitrogen Response Factor NRF1 [PDF]

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions®, 2001
Here we describe the role of the Cladosporium fulvum nitrogen response factor 1 (Nrf1) gene in regulation of the expression of avirulence gene Avr9 and virulence on tomato. The Nrf1 gene, which was isolated by a polymerase chain reaction-based strategy, is predicted to encode a protein of 918 amino acid residues.
