Regulation of a fungal avirulence gene
Trends in Plant Science, 2001The fungal pathogen, Cladosporium fulvum, has a limited host range on tomato, and the disease, tomato leaf mold, is confined to susceptible cultivars. Products of avirulence (Avr) genes present in C. fulvum play a major role in restricting its host range because Avr gene products are recognized by resistant tomato cultivars that carry matching ...

Fungal Genes in Plants: Impact and Potential Applications
Trends in Plant Science, 2020Although there is accumulating evidence for the role of foreign genes in plant development and adaptation, many issues remain. A recent study by Wang et al. on a gene of fungal origin in wheatgrass disease resistance highlights the potential application of fungal genes in crop improvement and related areas.

Plant genes hijacked by necrotrophic fungal pathogens
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2020Plant fungal pathogens can be classified according to their lifestyles. Biotrophs feed on living tissue and constitute an economically significant group of pathogens historically. Necrotrophs, which feed on dead tissue, have become economically significant over recent decades, especially those of the Dothideomycetes, which produce necrotrophic ...

Fungal Gene Cluster Diversity and Evolution
2017Metabolic gene clusters (MGCs) have provided some of the earliest glimpses at the biochemical machinery of yeast and filamentous fungi. MGCs encode diverse genetic mechanisms for nutrient acquisition and the synthesis/degradation of essential and adaptive metabolites. Beyond encoding the enzymes performing these discrete anabolic or catabolic processes,

Plant antioxidant gene responses to fungal pathogens
Trends in Microbiology, 1993Antioxidant defense systems are a prominent element in plant responses to environmental stress. Activated oxygen species have themselves been implicated as both a part of the plant's defense against pathogen attack as well as the phytotoxic component of photosensitizing fungal toxins.

Fungal genes involved in pentachlorophenol degradation
2013Highly toxic compounds, as petroleum and its derivatives, solvents, alkanes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, fertilizers, and heavy metals, released constantly in the environment due to industrial and agricultural activities, are often highly persistent and accumulate in the environment.

Expression of fungal genes involved in penicllin biosynthesis
World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1993Carbon catabolite repression and pH regulation are regulatory circuits with a wide domain of action in the Plectomycetes. Penicillin biosynthesis is one of the pathways which are under their control. The conclusions obtained so far, which are based on studies of the genetic and molecular regulation of the penicillin pathway of Aspergillus nidulans ...

Identifying essential genes in fungal pathogens of humans
Trends in Microbiology, 2002Opportunistic fungal pathogens are an important cause of fatal invasive diseases and one of the many threats facing immunocompromised patients. Because of the limitations of the antifungal therapies currently available such as their toxicity, their narrow spectrum and the emergence of resistant pathogens, there is a significant demand for a broader ...

Genetically engineering better fungal biopesticides.
Pest Management Science, 2018Microbial insect pathogens offer an alternative means of pest control with the potential to wean us off our heavy reliance on chemical pesticides. Insect pathogenic fungi play an important natural role in controlling disease vectors and agricultural ...

Fungal diversity from communities to genes
Fungal Biology Reviews, 2019Abstract Fungi are hyperdiverse organisms and assemble in complex communities, characterized by high levels of species richness, turnover, and endemism. However, the origins and maintenance of such high diversity and the role environments play in fungal adaptation are still elusive.
