Postharvest decay of fruits, vegetables, and grains by fungal pathogens causes significant
economic losses. Infected produce presents a potential health risk since some decay fungi …

Here, we report the identification and characterization of the first proton channels from fungi.
The fungal proteins are related to animal voltage-gated Hv channels and are conserved in …

Sensing, responding, and adapting to the surrounding environment are crucial for all living
organisms to survive, proliferate, and differentiate in their biological niches. This ability is …

Spore germination is the first step for fungal pathogens to infect host plants. The pH value,
as one of the most important environmental parameters, has critical influence on spore …

In metazoans, proteins of the arrestin family are key players of G‐protein‐coupled receptors
(GPCRS) signaling and trafficking. Following stimulation, activated receptors are …

Background In fungi, environmental pH is an important signal for development, and
successful host colonization depends on homeostasis. Surprisingly, little is known regarding …
