Phytopathogenic fungi have evolved an amazing diversity of infection modes and nutritional
strategies, yet the signaling pathways that govern pathogenicity are remarkably conserved …

During their life cycles, pathogens have to adapt to many biotic and abiotic environmental
stresses to maximize their overall fitness. Morphological transitions are one of the least …

During infection, fungal pathogens activate virulence mechanisms, such as host adhesion,
penetration and invasive growth. In the vascular wilt fungus Fusarium oxysporum, the …

Fungi have the capacity to cause devastating diseases of both plants and animals, causing
significant harvest losses that threaten food security and human mycoses with high mortality …

Dimorphism or morphogenic conversion is exploited by several pathogenic fungi and is
required for tissue invasion and/or survival in the host. We have identified a homolog of a …

Fusarium oxysporum is amongst the most important and diverse phytopathogenic fungi
infecting almost 150 plant species, pathogen of each being specific and identified as formae …

Post-translational modifications of chromatin structure by histone acetyltransferase (HATs)
play a central role in the regulation of gene expression and various biological processes in …

In the early 1890s, a mysterious wilt disease of watermelon caused heavy losses in the
southern United States. EF Smith did seminal research on what became only the second …

It has been estimated that up to one quarter of the world's biomass is of fungal origin,
comprising approximately 1.5 million species. In order to interact with one another and …
