The plant and human opportunistic fungus Aspergillus flavus is recognized for the
production of the carcinogen aflatoxin. Although many reviews focus on the wealth of …

Cytochrome P450s (CYPs), heme-containing monooxygenases, play important roles in a
wide variety of metabolic processes important for development as well as biotic/trophic …

Fungal secondary metabolites are small molecules that exhibit diverse biological activities
exploited in medicine, industry and agriculture. Their biosynthesis is governed by co …

Genomics has revolutionized the research on fungal secondary metabolite (SM)
biosynthesis. To elucidate the molecular and enzymatic mechanisms underlying the …

In this review, I recount my personal history. My drive to study host-pathogen interactions
was to find alternatives for agrochemicals, which was triggered after reading the book “Silent …

While abscisic acid (ABA) is known as a hormone produced by plants through the
carotenoid pathway, a small number of phytopathogenic fungi are also able to produce this …

Cladosporium fulvum is a biotrophic fungal pathogen that causes leaf mould of tomato.
Analysis of its genome suggested a high potential for production of secondary metabolites …

We present genome‐wide gene expression patterns as a time series through the infection
cycle of the fungal pine needle blight pathogen, D othistroma septosporum, as it invades its …

Dothistromin is a broad‐spectrum mycotoxin produced by the D othideomycete pine needle
pathogen D othistroma septosporum. It accumulates in lesions, causing characteristic red …

Plant pathogens use a complex arsenal of weapons, such as toxic secondary metabolites, to
invade and destroy their hosts. Knowledge of how secondary metabolite pathways evolved …
