Colletotrichum graminicola, the causal agent of maize leaf anthracnose and stalk rot,
differentiates a pressurized infection cell called an appressorium in order to invade the …

Fungal plant pathogens have evolved diverse strategies to overcome the multilayered plant
defence responses that confront them upon host invasion. Here we show that pathogenicity …

Colletotrichum truncatum, the causal agent of soybean anthracnose, invades host plants by
forming a specialised infection structure called an appressorium. Mitogen‐activated protein …

C. gloeosporioides f. sp. malvae (Cgm) is a hemibiotrophic pathogen of round-leaved
mallow. Three genes belonging to the GSK-3, SNF-1, and MAP kinase families were cloned …

The Ascomycetes fungus Colletotrichum fructicola causes severe diseases on a wide range
of crops, fruits, and vegetables. Its pathogenic mechanisms, however, remain poorly …

A random insertional mutagenesis in Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, the causal agent of
common bean anthracnose, generated four mutants that showed altered pathogenicity when …

Colletotrichum graminicola causes maize anthracnose, an agronomically important disease
with a worldwide distribution. We have identified a fungalysin metalloprotease (Cgfl) with a …

Colletotrichum lagenarium is the causal agent of anthracnose of cucumber. This fungus
produces a darkly melanized infection structure, appressoria, to penetrate the host leaves …

Plant basal resistance is activated by virulent pathogens in susceptible host plants. A
Colletotrichum orbiculare fungal mutant defective in the SSD1 gene, which regulates cell …

SNF1/AMPK protein kinases play important roles in fungal development and activation of
catabolite-repressed genes. In this study, we characterized the role of SNF1 ortholog in …
