Introduction The circadian circuit, a roughly 24 h molecular feedback loop, or clock, is
conserved from bacteria to animals and allows for enhanced organismal survival by …

Morphological changes are critical for the virulence of a range of plant and human fungal
pathogens. Candida albicans is a major human fungal pathogen whose ability to switch …

RNA interference (RNAi) technologies have recently been developed to control a growing
number of agronomically significant fungal phytopathogens, including the white mold …

The Spitzenkörper (SPK) constitutes a collection of secretory vesicles and polarity-related
proteins intimately associated with polarized growth of fungal hyphae. Many SPK-localized …

Many cell biological facts that can be found in dedicated scientific textbooks are based on
findings originally made in humans and/or other mammals, including respective tissue …

Many fungal species are dimorphic, exhibiting both unicellular yeast-like and filamentous
forms. Schizosaccharomyces japonicus, a member of the fission yeast clade, is one such …

Virulence of the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans depends on the switch from
budding to filamentous growth, which requires sustained membrane traffic and polarized …

Trichoderma atroviride is a mycoparasitic fungus used as biological control agent against
fungal plant pathogens. The recognition and appropriate morphogenetic responses to prey …

Filamentous fungi are working horses for industrial enzyme production. Combinatory
approaches, such as random mutagenesis and rational genetic engineering, were adopted …

Trichophyton rubrum is the most common fungal pathogen in the world, which has been
studied as an important dermatophyte model organism. Despite the prevalence of T. rubrum …
