Fusarium graminearum Ste3 G-Protein Coupled Receptor: A Mediator of Hyphal Chemotropism and Pathogenesis

open access: yesmSphere, 2022
Fungal hyphal chemotropism has been shown to be a major contributor to host-pathogen interactions. Previous studies on Fusarium species have highlighted the involvement of the Ste2 G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) in mediating polarized hyphal growth ...

Evolution of asexual and sexual reproduction in the aspergilli [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Aspergillus nidulans has long-been used as a model organism to gain insights into the genetic basis of asexual and sexual developmental processes both in other members of the genus Aspergillus, and filamentous fungi in general.

A genetic linkage map of Venturia inaequalis, the causal agent of apple scab [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background Venturia inaequalis is an economically-important disease of apple causing annual epidemics of scab worldwide. The pathogen is a heterothallic ascomycete with an annual cycle of sexual reproduction on infected apple leaf litter, followed by ...

Neurospora from natural populations: Population genomics insights into the Life history of a model microbial Eukaryote [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The ascomycete filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa played a historic role in experimental biology and became a model system for genetic research. Stimulated by a systematic effort to collect wild strains initiated by Stanford geneticist David Perkins ...

Needles in fungal haystacks: Discovery of a putative a-factor pheromone and a unique mating strategy in the Leotiomycetes

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
The Leotiomycetes is a hugely diverse group of fungi, accommodating a wide variety of important plant and animal pathogens, ericoid mycorrhizal fungi, as well as producers of antibiotics.

Regulation of polarised growth in fungi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Polarised growth in fungi occurs through the delivery of secretory vesicles along tracks formed by cytoskeletal elements to specific sites on the cell surface where they dock with a multiprotein structure called the exocyst before fusing with the ...

An Overview of the Function and Maintenance of Sexual Reproduction in Dikaryotic Fungi

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Sexual reproduction likely evolved as protection from environmental stresses, specifically, to repair DNA damage, often via homologous recombination. In higher eukaryotes, meiosis and the production of gametes with allelic combinations different from ...

Unidirectional mating-type switching confers self-fertility to Thielaviopsis cerberus, the only homothallic species in the genus.

open access: yesFungal Biology, 2021
Sexual reproduction is ubiquitous in nature, and nowhere is this more so than in the fungi. Heterothallic behaviour is observed when there is a strict requirement of contact between two individuals of opposite mating type for sexual reproduction to occur.

Fungal genomes tell a story of ecological adaptations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
One genome enables a fungus to have various lifestyles and strategies depending on environmental conditions and in the presence of specific counterparts.

Genomic and proteomic biases inform metabolic engineering strategies for anaerobic fungi. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Anaerobic fungi (Neocallimastigomycota) are emerging non-model hosts for biotechnology due to their wealth of biomass-degrading enzymes, yet tools to engineer these fungi have not yet been established.
