The emerging role of septins in fungal pathogenesis

Cytoskeleton, Volume 80, Issue 7-8, Page 242-253, July-August 2023., 2023
Abstract Fungal pathogens undergo specific morphogenetic transitions in order to breach the outer surfaces of plants and invade the underlying host tissue. The ability to change cell shape and switch between non‐polarised and polarised growth habits is therefore critical to the lifestyle of plant pathogens.

Unearthing the plant–microbe quid pro quo in root associations with beneficial fungi

New Phytologist, Volume 234, Issue 6, Page 1967-1976, June 2022., 2022
Summary Mutualistic symbiotic associations between multicellular eukaryotes and their microbiota are driven by the exchange of nutrients in a quid pro quo manner. In the widespread arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis involving plant roots and Glomeromycotina fungi, the mycobiont is supplied with carbon through photosynthesis, which in return supplies

Can it be all more simple? Manufacturing aflatoxin biocontrol products using dry spores of atoxigenic isolates of Aspergillus flavus as active ingredients

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 15, Issue 3, Page 901-914, March 2022., 2022
Atoxigenic strain‐based aflatoxin biocontrol product Aflasafe is normally manufactured by coating carrier sorghum grains with a suspension of freshly produced spores of the active ingredients mixed with a polymer and a dye. We describe a process by which spores were produced and dried in Nigeria and transported to Senegal for manufacturing 190 tons of ...

Metacridamides A and B, Macrocycles from Conidia of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium acridum [PDF]

Journal of Natural Products, 2012
Metarhizium acridum, an entomopathogenic fungus, has been commercialized and used successfully for biocontrol of grasshopper pests in Africa and Australia. Its conidia produce two novel 17-membered macrocycles, metacridamides A and B, which consist of a Phe unit condensed with a nonaketide.

A novel effector, CsSp1, from Bipolaris sorokiniana, is essential for colonization in wheat and is also involved in triggering host immunity

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 218-236, February 2022., 2022
CsSp1, a virulent effector in Bipolaris sorokiniana, also triggers immunity in plant cells. Abstract The hemibiotrophic pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana causes root rot, leaf blotching, and black embryos in wheat and barley worldwide, resulting in significant yield and quality reductions.

Empirical Review of Tuta absoluta Meyrick Effect on the Tomato Production and Their Protection Attempts

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The tomato is one of the most nutritious, economically important, and delicate vegetables grown in the world. It is highly susceptible to insect pests and microbial pathogens. The tomato leafminer moth, Tuta absoluta Meyrick, is the current impediment to tomato production in the world. The insect showed invasive and notorious behavior and was affecting

Integration of dsRNA against host immune response genes augments the virulence of transgenic Metarhizium robertsii strains in insect pest species

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1433-1444, July 2021., 2021
Genetic engineering techniques have been developed to improve fungal virulence for the control of insect pests. Unary, binary and ternary transgenic strains were constructed by integrating the endo‐ or exogenous virulence genes, and the host immunity gene‐targeted individually or collectively into the fungus.

The Magas1 Gene is Involved in Pathogenesis by Affecting Penetration in Metarhizium acridum

Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2012
Appressorium is a specialized infection structure of filamentous pathogenic fungi and plays an important role in establishing a pathogenic relationship with the host. The Egh16/Egh16H family members are involved in appressorium formation and pathogenesis in pathogenic filamentous fungi. In this study, a homolog of Egh16H, Magas1, was identified from an
