Two well characterized signal transduction cascades regulating fungal development and
virulence are the MAP kinase and cAMP signaling cascades. Here we review the current …

The cAMP signal transduction pathway controls a wide variety of processes in fungi. For
example, considerable progress has been made in describing the involvement of cAMP …

▪ Abstract cAMP regulates morphogenesis and virulence in a wide variety of fungi including
the plant pathogens. In saprophytic yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cAMP …

Morphological changes in pathogenic fungi often underlie the development of virulence and
infection by these organisms. Our knowledge of the components of the cell signalling …

Cellular differentiation, mating, and filamentous growth are regulated in many fungi by
environmental and nutritional signals. For example, in response to nitrogen limitation …

Many fungal pathogens invade plants using specialized infection structures called
appressoria that differentiate from the tips of fungal hyphae contacting the plant surface. We …

Acid pH induces the yeast-to-mycelium transition in haploid cells of Ustilago maydis. We
tested two signal transduction pathways known to be involved in dimorphism for roles in acid …

Nutrient sensing is critical for adaptation of fungi to environmental and host conditions. The
conserved cAMP/PKA signaling pathway contributes to adaptation by sensing the …

The evolutionarily conserved cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling pathway controls cell functions in
response to environmental cues in organisms as diverse as yeast and mammals. In the …

In response to nitrogen limitation, diploid cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
undergo a dimorphic transition to filamentous pseudohyphal growth. At least two signaling …
