Phytopathogenic fungi must adapt to the different environmental conditions found during
infection and avoid the immune response of the plant. For these adaptations, fungi must …

Fungi, including yeasts, molds, and mushrooms, proliferate on decaying matter and then
adopt quiescent forms once nutrients are depleted. This review explores how fungi use …

Protein acetylation is a crucial post-translational modification that controls gene expression
and a variety of biological processes. Sirtuins, a prominent class of NAD+-dependent lysine …

In response to limited nutrients, fungal cells exit the primary growth phase, enter the
stationary phase, and cease proliferation. Although fundamental to microbial physiology in …

Aspergillus fumigatus represents a public health problem due to the high mortality rate in
immunosuppressed patients and the emergence of antifungal-resistant isolates. Protein …

The sirtuins are members of the NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase family that contribute
to various cellular functions that affect aging, disease, and cancer development in …

Cell death is a process that can be divided into three morphological patterns: apoptosis,
autophagy and necrosis. In fungi, cell death is induced in response to intracellular and …

Chromatin in the eukaryotic nucleus is highly organized in the form of nucleosomes where
histones wrap DNA. This structure may be altered by some chemical modifications of …

Morphological changes are critical for host colonisation in plant pathogenic fungi. These
changes occur at specific stages of their pathogenic cycle in response to environmental …

Deacetylases of the Sir2 or sirtuin family are thought to regulate life cycle progression and
life span in response to nutrient availability. This family has undergone successive rounds of …
