The fungal kingdom comprises some of the most devastating plant pathogens. Sequencing
the genomes of fungal pathogens has shown a remarkable variability in genome size and …

Histone-modifying enzymes are responsible for regulating transcription, recombination, DNA
repair, DNA replication, chromatid cohesion, and chromosome segregation. Fungi are …

The fungus Fusarium fujikuroi causes “bakanae” disease of rice due to its ability to produce
gibberellins (GAs), but it is also known for producing harmful mycotoxins. However, the …

Black Sigatoka or black leaf streak disease, caused by the Dothideomycete fungus
Pseudocercospora fijiensis (previously: Mycosphaerella fijiensis), is the most significant …

In this work, the biosynthesis and regulation of the polyketide synthase/nonribosomal
peptide synthetase (PKS/NRPS)-derived mutagenic mycotoxin fusarin C was studied in the …

Fungal strain engineering is commonly used in many areas of biotechnology, including the
production of plant biomass degrading enzymes. Its aim varies from the production of …

Abstract A-to-I RNA editing is an important post-transcriptional modification that converts
adenosine (A) to inosine (I) in RNA molecules via hydrolytic deamination. Although editing …

Attenuating the Taxol productivity of fungi with the subculturing and storage under axenic
conditions is the challenge that halts the feasibility of fungi to be an industrial platform for …

Fungal genomes vary considerably in size and organization. The genome of Microsporidium
contains less than 3 Mb while the genomes of several Basidiomycetes and Ascomycetes …

Genome integrity is essential to maintain cellular function and viability. Consequently,
genome instability is frequently associated with dysfunction in cells and associated with …
