Fungal dimorphism regulated gene expression in Ustilago maydis: II. Filament down‐regulated genes
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.

Discovering Functions of Unannotated Genes from a Transcriptome Survey of Wild Fungal Isolates
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.

Oligonucleotide sequences forming short self-complimentary hairpins can expedite the down-regulation of Coprinopsis cinerea genes [PDF]
Gene silencing in fungi is often induced by dsRNA hairpin forming constructs the preparation of which can require multiple cloning steps. To simplify gene silencing in the filamentous fungi we have evaluated a high throughput cloning method for target ...

Gene Regulation Shifts Shed Light on Fungal Adaption in Plant Biomass Decomposers
Fungi dominate the turnover of wood, Earth’s largest pool of aboveground terrestrial carbon. Fungi first evolved this capacity by degrading lignin to access and hydrolyze embedded carbohydrates (white rot).

Analysis of a conserved cellulase transcriptional regulator reveals inducer-independent production of cellulolytic enzymes in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
Cellulose is recalcitrant to deconstruction to glucose for use in fermentation strategies for biofuels and chemicals derived from lignocellulose. In Neurospora crassa, the transcriptional regulator, CLR-2, is required for cellulolytic gene expression and

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

Regulation-incorporated Gene Expression Network-based Heterogeneity Analysis [PDF]
Gene expression-based heterogeneity analysis has been extensively conducted. In recent studies, it has been shown that network-based analysis, which takes a system perspective and accommodates the interconnections among genes, can be more informative than that based on simpler statistics. Gene expressions are highly regulated. Incorporating regulations

The Arabidopsis NADPH oxidases RbohD and RbohF display differential expression patterns and contributions during plant immunity [PDF]
Plant NADPH oxidases, also known as respiratory burst oxidase homologues (RBOHs), produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that perform a wide range of functions.
