Forays into Fungal Fighting and Mycological Moisture Modeling [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 As the impending consequences of climate change loom over the Earth, it has become vital for researchers to understand the role microorganisms play in this process. In this paper, we examine how environmental factors, including moisture levels and temperature, affect the expression of certain fungal characteristics on a microscale, and how these in ...

Computational universality of fungal sandpile automata [PDF]
, 2020 Hyphae within the mycelia of the ascomycetous fungi are compartmentalised by septa. Each septum has a pore that allows for inter-compartmental and inter-hyphal streaming of cytosol and even organelles. The compartments, however, have special organelles, Woronin bodies, that can plug the pores.

Method for RNA extraction and transcriptomic analysis of single fungal spores
MethodsX, 2020 Transcriptomic analysis of single cells has been increasingly in demand in recent years, thanks to technological and methodological advances as well as growing recognition of the importance of individuals in biological systems. However, the majority of these studies have been performed in mammalian cells, due to their ease of lysis and high RNA content.

Trans-Kingdom RNA Silencing in Plant–Fungal Pathogen Interactions [PDF]
Molecular Plant, 2018 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.
