RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are essential for regulating RNA metabolism, stability, and translation within cells. Recent studies have shown that RBPs are not restricted to intracellular functions and can be found in extracellular vesicles (EVs) in ...

Tracking fungal community responses to maize plants by DNA- and RNA-based pyrosequencing. [PDF]
We assessed soil fungal diversity and community structure at two sampling times (t1 = 47 days and t2 = 104 days of plant age) in pots associated with four maize cultivars, including two genetically modified (GM) cultivars by high-throughput ...

Hybrids of RNA viruses and viroid-like elements replicate in fungi
Earth’s life may have originated as self-replicating RNA, and it has been argued that RNA viruses and viroid-like elements are remnants of such pre-cellular RNA world. RNA viruses are defined by linear RNA genomes encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase

Fungal Small RNAs Suppress Plant Immunity by Hijacking Host RNA Interference Pathways [PDF]
RNA on the Attack Plant microbial pathogens often work through protein effectors that are delivered into the plant cells to disrupt critical cellular functions. Weiberg et al. (p.

Trans-Kingdom RNA Silencing in Plant-Fungal Pathogen Interactions. [PDF]
Fungal pathogens represent a major group of plant invaders that are the causative agents of many notorious plant diseases. Large quantities of RNAs, especially small RNAs involved in gene silencing, have been found to transmit bidirectionally between fungal pathogens and their hosts.

Fungal plant pathogens use proteinaceous effectors as well as newly identified secondary metabolites (SMs) and small non-coding RNA (sRNA) effectors to manipulate the host plant’s defense system via diverse plant cell compartments, distinct organelles ...

Inside-out: from endosomes to extracellular vesicles in fungal RNA transport
Membrane-coupled RNA transport is an emerging theme in fungal biology. This review focuses on the RNA cargo and mechanistic details of transport via two inter-related sets of organelles: endosomes and extracellular vesicles for intra- and intercellular ...

Fungal negative-stranded RNA virus that is related to bornaviruses and nyaviruses [PDF]
Significance Mycoviruses are viruses that infect fungi and replicate in fungi. Previously, no mycoviruses had been discovered with negative-stranded (−)ssRNA genomes.

Identification of a negative-strand RNA virus with natural plant and fungal hosts
Significance Plant and fungal viruses have divergently evolved to adapt to the distinct biological characteristics of plant and fungal kingdoms. While cross-infection of plant viruses in fungi has been observed, the question of whether a virus could ...

The endocytic pathway for absorption of exogenous RNAs in Verticillium dahliae [PDF]
RNAi technologies have been exploited to control viruses, pests, oomycetes, and fungal phytopathogens that cause disasters in host plants, including many agronomically significant crops.
