    The PHO pathway regulates white–opaque switching and sexual mating in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans

    The opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans is able to switch among several morphological phenotypes in response to environmental changes. White–opaque transition is a typical phenotypic switching system i...

    Two mating-type genes MAT1-1-1 and MAT1-1-2 with significant functions in conidiation, stress response, sexual development, and pathogenicity of rice false smut fungus Villosiclava virens

    Rice false smut caused by Villosiclava virens is one of the destructive diseases on panicles of rice. Sexual development of V. virens, controlled by mating-type locus, plays an important role in the prevalence of...

    Hydrogen peroxide, a potent inducer of global genomic instability

    Oxidative stress has been implicated in a variety of human diseases. One plausible mechanism is that reactive active species can induce DNA damages and jeopardize genome integrity. To explore how oxidative str...

    FreB is involved in the ferric metabolism and multiple pathogenicity-related traits of Verticillium dahliae

    Ferric reductases are integral membrane proteins involved in the reduction of environmental ferric iron into the biologically available ferrous iron. In the most overwhelming phytopathogenic fungus, Verticillium ...

    Comparative transcriptome analysis of fruiting body and sporulating mycelia of Villosiclava virens reveals genes with putative functions in sexual reproduction

    Sexual reproduction of heterothallic clavicipitaceous fungus Villosiclava virens (anamorph: Ustilaginoidea virens) generates ascospores, which is considered as primary infection source of rice false smut disease....

    Genome plasticity in filamentous plant pathogens contributes to the emergence of novel effectors and their cellular processes in the host

    Plant diseases cause extensive yield loss of crops worldwide, and secretory ‘warfare’ occurs between plants and pathogenic organisms all the time. Filamentous plant pathogens have evolved the ability to manipu...

    A carnitine–acylcarnitine carrier protein, MoCrc1, is essential for pathogenicity in Magnaporthe oryzae

    The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae forms a specialized infection structure called an appressorium to breach the host-plant epidermis for successful infection. In this study, a mutant defective in appressori...

    Cloning and molecular analysis of two different ILV5 genes from a brewing strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Two different ILV5 genes encoding acetohydroxy-acid isomeroreductases, and named ILV5G and ILV5X, were cloned and sequenced from a Saccharomyces cerevisiae brewing strain. The coding sequence of ILV5X shows a sin...

    Nucleotide sequence and molecular characterization of plasmid-like DNAs from mitochondria of cytoplasmic male-sterile rice

    Two plasmid-like DNAs, B2 and B3, were isolated from mitochondria of the cytoplasmic malesterile rice, A-58 CMS. Molecular clones having their complete sequences were constructed and used as probes of mitochon...
