Evolution of linked avirulence effectors in Leptosphaeria maculans is affected by genomic environment and exposure to resistance genes in host plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Brassica napus (canola) cultivars and isolates of the blackleg fungus, Leptosphaeria maculans interact in a ‘gene for gene’ manner whereby plant resistance (R) genes are complementary to pathogen avirulence (Avr) genes.

Transcriptome analysis reveals underlying immune response mechanism of fungal (Penicillium oxalicum) disease in Gastrodia elata Bl. f. glauca S. chow (Orchidaceae)

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Gastrodia elata Bl. f. glauca S. Chow is a medicinal plant. G. elata f. glauca is unavoidably infected by pathogens in their growth process.

Fungal biofilm resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Fungal biofilm infections have become increasingly recognised as a significant clinical problem. One of the major reasons behind this is the impact that these have upon treatment, as antifungal therapy often fails and surgical intervention is required ...

The evolution of fungal metabolic pathways. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Evolutionary dynamics of mating-type loci of Mycosphaerella spp. occurring on banana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The devastating Sigatoka disease complex of banana is primarily caused by three closely related heterothallic fungi belonging to the genus Mycosphaerella: M. fijiensis, M. musicola, and M. eumusae.

Fungal phytases: from genes to applications

open access: yesBrazilian 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.

Candida albicans induces Metabolic Reprogramming in human NK cells and responds to Perforin with a Zinc Depletion Response

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
As part of the innate immune system, natural killer (NK) cells are directly involved in the response to fungal infections. Perforin has been identified as the major effector molecule acting against many fungal pathogens.

Anti-Biofilm Activity of Cannabidiol against Candida albicans

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 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 ...

Multiple avirulence paralogues in cereal powdery mildew fungi may contribute to parasite fitness and defeat of plant resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Powdery mildews, obligate biotrophic fungal parasites on a wide range of important crops, can be controlled by plant resistance (R) genes, but these are rapidly overcome by parasite mutants evading recognition.

Molecular characterization of plant mutants defective in mycorrhiza formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Arbuscular mycorrhizas play a key role in plant growth by supporting the acquisition of mineral nutrients, especially phosphorus. Around 80 % of vascular plants exhibit this association.
