Transcription Factor Mavib-1 Negatively Regulates Conidiation by Affecting Utilization of Carbon and Nitrogen Source in Metarhizium acridum [PDF]
Conidium is the main infection unit and reproductive unit of pathogenic fungi. Exploring the mechanism of conidiation and its regulation contributes to understanding the pathogenicity of pathogenic fungi.

MaSln1, a Conserved Histidine Protein Kinase, Contributes to Conidiation Pattern Shift Independent of the MAPK Pathway in Metarhizium acridum [PDF]
As a conserved sensor kinase in the HOG-MAPK pathway, Sln1 plays distinct functions in different fungi. In this study, the roles of MaSln1 in Metarhizium acridum were analyzed using gene knockout and rescue strategies.

The Forkhead Box Gene, MaSep1, Negatively Regulates UV- and Thermo-Tolerances and Is Required for Microcycle Conidiation in Metarhizium acridum [PDF]
Insect pathogenic fungi have shown great potential in agricultural pest control. Conidiation is crucial for the survival of filamentous fungi, and dispersal occurs through two methods: normal conidiation, where conidia differentiate from mycelium, and ...

Polyamines as Modulators of Microcycle Conidiation in Aspergillus Flavus [PDF]
Since polyamines (PAs) play a potential role in the regulation of growth and developmental processes in a wide variety of organisms, we have examined the influence of the PAs putrescine (Put) and spermidine (Spd) and the PA biosynthetic inhibitors α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), α-difluoromethylarginine (DFMA), methylglyoxal bis-(guanylhydrazone ...

Spore Yield and Microcycle Conidiation of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in Liquid Culture. [PDF]
The effect of V8 juice concentration (5 to 40%, vol/vol), spore inoculum density (10 5 and 10 7 spores per ml), and liquid batch or fed-batch culture condition on mycelium and spore production by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was evaluated.

Microcycle conidiation–A review
Microcycle conidiation is defined as the germination of spores by the direct formation of conidia without the intervention of mycelial growth, as occurs in most normal life cycles. It is a method of asexual spore formation in which the normal life cycle of the fungus is bypassed.

Microcycle Conidiation and Spore-Carrying Capacity of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides on Solid Media. [PDF]
The effect of spore inoculum density, medium concentration, and temperature on slime-spot formation, spore yield, and mycelium production by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides on agar media were studied with a simple microplate assay.
