The cell wall is composed of a polysaccharide‐based three‐dimensional network.
Considered for a long time as an inert exoskeleton, the cell wall is now seen as a dynamic …

Chitin is an essential part of the carbohydrate skeleton of the fungal cell wall and is a
molecule that is not represented in humans and other vertebrates. Complex regulatory …

Fungal cell walls play dynamic functions in interaction of fungi with their surroundings. In
pathogenic fungi, the cell wall is the first structure to make physical contact with host cells …

Fungal hyphae extend by apical growth. This process involves the polarized traffic of
secretory vesicles to the Spitzenkörper (SPK) and their subsequent distribution to specific …

Chitin is a major component of fungal cell wall and is synthesized by chitin synthases (Chs).
Plant pathogenic fungi normally have multiple chitin synthase genes. To determine their …

Paracoccidioides is a fungal pathogen and the cause of paracoccidioidomycosis, a health-
threatening human systemic mycosis endemic to Latin America. Infection by …

Aspergillus species are among the most important filamentous fungi from the viewpoints of
industry, pathogenesis, and mycotoxin production. Fungal cells are exposed to a variety of …

Attenuated activity of echinocandin antifungals at high concentrations, known as the
“paradoxical effect,” is a well-established phenomenon in Candida albicans and Aspergillus …

Fungal chitin synthases (CHSs) form fibers of the cell wall and are crucial for substrate
invasion and pathogenicity. Filamentous fungi contain up to 10 CHSs, which might reflect …

Spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS) using topical dsRNA applications has risen as a
promising, target‐specific, and environmentally friendly disease management strategy …
