RGC1/RGC2 deletions cause increased sensitivity to oxidative stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which can be overcome by constitutive nuclear Yap1 expression [PDF]
Oxidative stress mechanism in yeast presents an innovative pathway to understand in creating the next generation of antifungal drugs. Rgc1 and Rgc2 are paralogous proteins that regulate the Fps1 glycerol channel in hyperosmotic stress.

Genome Sequence of the Chestnut Blight Fungus Cryphonectria parasitica EP155: A Fundamental Resource for an Archetypical Invasive Plant Pathogen. [PDF]
Cryphonectria parasitica is the causal agent of chestnut blight, a fungal disease that almost entirely eliminated mature American chestnut from North America over a 50-year period. Here, we formally report the genome of C. parasitica EP155 using a Sanger

Genes involved in carotene synthesis and mating in Blakeslea trispora [PDF]
Mating of Blakeslea trispora and other molds of the order Mucorales requires the interaction of mycelia of opposite sex, (+) and (-), leading to the development of specialized structures and to an enhanced accumulation of beta-carotene.
