Uneven distribution of prokaryote-derived horizontal gene transfer in fungi: a lifestyle-dependent phenomenon

mBio
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in fungi is less understood despite its significance in prokaryotes. In this study, we systematically searched for HGT events in 829 representative fungal genomes.

Comparative pathogenomics reveals horizontally acquired novel virulence genes in fungi infecting cereal hosts.

PLoS Pathogens, 2012
Comparative analyses of pathogen genomes provide new insights into how pathogens have evolved common and divergent virulence strategies to invade related plant species.

Population genomics of Vitis pseudoreticulata reveals the genetic basis of fungal resistance in grapevine

Horticultural Plant Journal
Grapevine cultivation is facing significant challenges from fungal diseases. Wild Vitis species exhibit extraordinary fungal resistance, offering valuable genetic resources for grapevine improvement, yet their genetic basis of fungal resistance remains ...

Mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities of the ribotoxic stress response in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cancer cells' high translational demand creates opportunities to therapeutically target ribosome function. Ribosome stalling and collisions activate ZAKα and the ribotoxic stress response (RSR), which can trigger rapid, p53‐independent apoptosis in cancer.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community abundance, functions, and symbiotic interactions revealed by root metatranscriptomes

iMetaOmics
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal communities are often profiled by metabarcoding, but this approach can bias abundance estimates and provide limited insight into community function and interactions with the host.

Molecular Signaling and Metabolic Responses during the Interaction between Human Keratinocytes (HaCaT) and the Dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum

Journal of Fungi
Trichophyton rubrum is the leading causative agent of dermatophytosis worldwide. Keratinocytes are the first line of defense that drives an immune response against fungal invasion.

Real-time quantitative PCR for analysis of candidate fungal biopesticides against malaria: Technique validation and first applications [PDF]

, 2009
Recent research has indicated that fungal biopesticides could augment existing malaria vector control tools. Here we present a set of methodologies to monitor the in vivo kinetics of entomopathogenic fungi in Anopheles in the presence or absence of ...
