▪ Abstract The blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea causes a serious disease on a wide variety
of grasses including rice, wheat, and barley. Rice blast is the most serious disease of …

▪ Abstract Class I and class II hydrophobins are small secreted fungal proteins that play a
role in a broad range of processes in the growth and development of filamentous fungi. For …

▪ Abstract Fungal pathogens cause many of the most serious crop diseases. One of the
principal reasons for the success of this group is their ability to locate and perceive …

Successful colonisation of plants by pathogens requires efficient utilisation of nutrient
resources available in host tissues. Several bacterial and fungal genes are specifically …

Taxonomy: Cladosporium fulvum is an asexual fungus for which no sexual stage is currently
known. Molecular data, however, support C. fulvum as a member of the …

Hydrophobins (HPs) are small secreted fungal proteins possibly involved in several
processes such as formation of fungal aerial structures, attachment to hydrophobic surfaces …

Hydrophobins fulfill a wide spectrum of functions in fungal growth and development. These
proteins self-assemble at hydrophilic− hydrophobic interfaces into amphipathic membranes …

The wilt fungus Verticillium dahliae Kleb. produces desiccation-and cold-tolerant resting
structures, known as microsclerotia, which are the primary source of disease inoculum in the …

Hydrophobins are small proteins thought to be ubiquitous in filamentous fungi. They are
usually secreted and are found on the outer surfaces of cell walls of hyphae and conidia …

The growth of the biotrophic pathogen Cladosporium fulvum within the tomato (Lycopersicon
esculentum Mill.) leaf is restricted to the intercellular space. Previous studies from this …
