The Velvet Complex Is Essential for Sclerotia Formation and Virulence in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a devastating soilborne fungal pathogen that causes Sclerotinia stem rot in many economically important crops. It forms sclerotia, resilient dormant structures that can persist in soil for years.

Identification of microbial communities associated with Phymatotrichopsis omnivora sclerotia in two Texas fields [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiomes
The soilborne fungus Phymatotrichopsis omnivora causes a mid- to late-season disease known as cotton root rot (CRR). In the United States, P. omnivora is primarily found in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas in soils that are alkaline, calcareous ...

The DENN Protein SMD1 Forms a Signalling Hub With Rab GTPase YPT1 to Regulate Diverse Biological Processes in Phytopathogenic Fungi and Serves as a HIGS Target for Crop Protection. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol
The DENN domain‐containing protein SsSMD1 is highly conserved across phytopathogenic fungi. Functioning as a putative GEF for RAS GTPase SsYPT1, SsSMD1 orchestrates its activation to regulate cell wall integrity, sclerotia development, and virulence in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.

The SsAtg1 Activating Autophagy Is Required for Sclerotia Formation and Pathogenicity in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a necrotrophic phytopathogenic fungus that produces sclerotia. Sclerotia are essential components of the survival and disease cycle of this devastating pathogen. In this study, we analyzed comparative transcriptomics of hyphae

Core microbes in Cordyceps militaris sclerotia and their nitrogen metabolism-related ecological functions

Microbiology Spectrum
Cordyceps militaris infects insects and forms sclerotia within the insect remains, establishing insect–microbe complexes. Here, C. militaris sclerotia samples from a single location in China over a 5-year period were subjected to high-throughput DNA ...

First Detection of Sclerotinia nivalis on Carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) in Russia and Comparative Pathogenicity of Sclerotinia Isolates on Carrot [PDF]

Plants
White mold of carrot is mainly caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, while Sclerotinia nivalis is rarely reported. This study provides the first molecular confirmation of S. nivalis on carrot in Russia, expanding knowledge of its global distribution.

Reverse Genetic Analyses of Hydrophobins in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Revealed Their Diverse Roles in Development, Environmental Survival, and Virulence [PDF]

Pathogens
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a notorious soilborne fungal pathogen that causes white mold in a wide range of host plants, leading to globally significant yield loss in many crops. Hydrophobins (HPs) are small, secreted proteins unique to filamentous fungi,

Host-Induced Silencing of Rhizoctonia Solani 5-Enolpyruvylshikimate-3-Phosphate Synthase Impairs Its Virulence in Rice. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Sheath blight disease of rice caused by the fungal pathogen R. solani AG1‐IA remains a big threat to rice production worldwide. A limited genetic variation in rice for tolerance to this pathogen and little success in understanding how it defeats host defence are major reasons behind it.
