Proposal of a new nomenclature for introns in protein-coding genes in fungal mitogenomes
IMA Fungus, 2019 Fungal mitochondrial genes are often invaded by group I or II introns, which represent an ideal marker for understanding fungal evolution. A standard nomenclature of mitochondrial introns is needed to avoid confusion when comparing different fungal ...

Biosynthetic gene clusters and the evolution of fungal chemodiversity
Natural Product Reports, 2020 This highlight synthesizes knowledge of the molecular evolutionary processes – functional divergence, horizontal transfer, andde novoassembly – that govern biosynthetic gene cluster diversification and the generation of chemodiversity in fungi.

Insects defend against fungal infection by employing microRNAs to silence virulence-related genes
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana can overcome insecticide resistance and represents a promising tool for controlling mosquitoes and other insect pests.

Giant Starship Elements Mobilize Accessory Genes in Fungal Genomes
bioRxiv, 2021 Accessory genes are variably present among members of a species and are a reservoir of adaptive functions. In bacteria, differences in gene distributions among individuals largely result from mobile elements that acquire and disperse accessory genes as ...

The Destructive Fungal Pathogen Botrytis cinerea—Insights from Genes Studied with Mutant Analysis
Pathogens, 2020 Botrytis cinerea is one of the most destructive fungal pathogens affecting numerous plant hosts, including many important crop species. As a molecularly under-studied organism, its genome was only sequenced at the beginning of this century and it was ...

Genome-Wide Host-Pathogen Interaction Unveiled by Transcriptomic Response of Diamondback Moth to Fungal Infection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Genome-wide insight into insect pest response to the infection of Beauveria bassiana (fungal insect pathogen) is critical for genetic improvement of fungal insecticides but has been poorly explored.

Predicting essential genes in fungal genomes [PDF]
Genome Research, 2006 Essential genes are required for an organism's viability, and the ability to identify these genes in pathogens is crucial to directed drug development. Predicting essential genes through computational methods is appealing because it circumvents expensive and difficult experimental screens.

A five-transgene cassette confers broad-spectrum resistance to a fungal rust pathogen in wheat
Nature Biotechnology, 2021 Breeding wheat with durable resistance to the fungal pathogen Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), a major threat to cereal production, is challenging due to the rapid evolution of pathogen virulence. Increased durability and broad-spectrum resistance

Analysis of differentially expressed genes in bacterial and fungal keratitis
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020 Purpose: This study was aimed at identifying differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in bacterial and fungal keratitis. The candidate genes can be selected and quantified to distinguish between causative agents of infectious keratitis to improve ...
