Prophenoloxidase activation is required for survival to microbial infections in Drosophila.
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 The melanization reaction is a major immune response in Arthropods and involves the rapid synthesis of melanin at the site of infection and injury. A key enzyme in the melanization process is phenoloxidase (PO), which catalyzes the oxidation of phenols ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Animals have developed numerous strategies to contend with environmental pressures. We observed that the same adaptation strategy may be used repeatedly by one species in response to a certain environmental challenge.

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 812-821, April 2026.Summary Postharvest pathogens can infect fresh produce both before and after harvest, by direct or wound‐enhanced penetration, remaining quiescent until ripening. Biotrophic‐like postharvest pathogens persist beneath host cells and can remain in a state of quiescence.

Differences in mycelial turnover and persistence of wood‐decay fungi at the microscale
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 577-590, April 2026.Summary How long do fungal hyphae persist in the environment? And how does this differ between groups and species of fungi? Despite growing knowledge of fungal contributions to decomposition and soil carbon cycles, surprisingly little is known about the turnover of mycelia: What happens to fungal hyphae over time? And how this impacts different fungi's

The Genetic Basis of Color Polymorphism in the Orb‐Web Spider Gasteracantha cancriformis
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This study investigates the genetic basis of coloration in the polymorphic spider Gasteracantha cancriformis using RNA‐seq data from different female color morphs. We assembled a reference transcriptome and identified differentially expressed genes associated with known pigmentation pathways, including carotenoids, melanin, ommochromes, and pteridines.

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 3, Page 139-147, March 2026.ABSTRACT Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic skin and subcutaneous infection mainly caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi, a dematiaceous fungus with various morphotypes. Characteristic sclerotic cells—globe‐shaped, multiseptated and pigmented—are found in lesions of infected individuals, though their differentiation in the host remains poorly understood. To

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2018 We combined a common garden experimental design with digital image analysis to determine how melanization responds to temperature and fungicide stress in 126 strains of Rhynchosporium commune sampled from nine global field populations.
