Targeted Disruption of a Fungal G-Protein β Subunit Gene Results in Increased Vegetative Growth but Reduced Virulence

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1997
Targeted disruption of two G-protein α subunit genes in the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica revealed roles for the Giα subunit CPG-1 in fungal reproduction, virulence, and vegetative growth.

Infection of Two Heterologous Mycoviruses Reduces the Virulence of Valsa mali, a Fungal Agent of Apple Valsa Canker Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Mycovirus infection has been widely shown to attenuate the virulence of phytopathogenic fungi. Valsa mali is an agriculturally important fungus that causes Valsa canker disease in apple trees.

Insights Into the Aetiology of Almond Canker Diseases and Decline Syndromes: An Emerging and Complex Phytopathological Challenge

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
This review aims to elucidate the aetiology of almond cankers and decline syndromes as well as raise awareness within the scientific community of the need to deepen our knowledge of their aetiology and epidemiology to develop effective management strategies. ABSTRACT Almond (Prunus dulcis) canker diseases and decline syndromes have been reported during

ORF Ι of Mycovirus SsNSRV-1 is Associated with Debilitating Symptoms of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

open access: yesViruses, 2020
We previously identified Sclerotinia sclerotiorum negative-stranded virus 1 (SsNSRV-1), the first (−) ssRNA mycovirus, associated with hypovirulence of its fungal host Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.

Cellular Coordination of Transcription Factors and Regulatory Genes for Cryptococcal Virulence

open access: yesCellular Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic pathogen belonging to the family Cryptococcaceae, capable of causing systemic and invasive fungal infections in humans and animals. The infection caused by Cryptococcus is lethal primarily in immunocompromised individuals due to the overwhelming expression of virulence factors that drive cryptococcosis in ...

Disseminative fitness of Endothia parasitica containing different agents for cytoplasmic hypovirulence

open access: yes, 1985
Three different agents for cytoplasmic hypovirulence (CH) were transferred individually to a virulent (V) isolate (EP 155) of Endothia parasitica. The CH agent HI2 obtained from an Italian isolate of E.

A Viral RNA Silencing Suppressor Modulates Reactive Oxygen Species Levels to Induce the Autophagic Degradation of Dicer‐Like and Argonaute‐Like Proteins

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 44, November 27, 2025.
Understanding the virus‐host arms race has been a fascinating topic in virology; contributing significantly to the development of treatments and control strategies for viral diseases. CHV1 employs a sophisticated counter‐defense mechanism in its fungal host by utilizing a viral silencing suppressor to inhibit fungal FMN reductase; thereby modulating ...
