Quantitative trait loci associated with apple endophytes during pathogen infection [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 The plant phyllosphere is colonized by microbial communities that can influence the fitness and growth of their host, including the host’s resilience to plant pathogens.There are multiple factors involved in shaping the assemblages of bacterial and ...

Reference genes for gene expression analysis in the fungal pathogen Neonectria ditissima and their use demonstrating expression up-regulation of candidate virulence genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 European canker, caused by the necrotrophic fungal phytopathogen Neonectria ditissima, is one of the most damaging apple diseases worldwide. An understanding of the molecular basis of N. ditissima virulence is currently lacking.

Homoterpene Biosynthesis in Fungi. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed EnglThe first homoterpene biosynthetic pathway in the fungal kingdom is reported. A methyltransferase–terpene cyclase pair produces a unique heptamethyl bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane homoterpene via presodorifen, demonstrating that homoterpene biosynthesis via the addition of a C1 unit to terpene diphosphate precursors prior to scaffold formation extends beyond the
