Fungal pathogenicity genes in the age of ‘omics’ [PDF]
Molecular Plant Pathology, 2010 SUMMARY The identification of the fungal genes essential for disease underpins the development of disease control strategies. Improved technologies for gene identification and functional analyses, as well as a plethora of sequenced fungal genomes, have led to the characterization of hundreds of genes, denoted as pathogenicity genes ...

Discovering Functions of Unannotated Genes from a Transcriptome Survey of Wild Fungal Isolates
mBio, 2014 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.

Evidence for further non-coding RNA genes in the fungal rDNA region [PDF]
MycoKeys, 2022 Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) genes play important, but incompletely understood, roles in various cellular processes, notably translation and gene regulation.

The evolution of fungal metabolic pathways. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Fungi contain a remarkable range of metabolic pathways, sometimes encoded by gene clusters, enabling them to digest most organic matter and synthesize an array of potent small molecules.

Anti-Biofilm Activity of Cannabidiol against Candida albicans
Microorganisms, 2021 Candida albicans is a common fungal pathogen in humans. Biofilm formation is an important virulence factor of C. albicans infections. We investigated the ability of the plant-derived cannabidiol (CBD) to inhibit the formation and removal of fungal ...

Fungal phytases: from genes to applications
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2020 Phytic acid stores 60-90% of the inorganic phosphorus in legumes, oil seeds, and cereals, making it inaccessible for metabolic processes in living systems. In addition, given its negative charge, phytic acid complexes with divalent cations, starch, and proteins.
