Filamentous fungi constitute a large group of eukaryotic microorganisms that grow by
forming simple tube-like hyphae that are capable of differentiating into more-complex …

Filamentous fungi produce a number of small bioactive molecules as part of their secondary
metabolism ranging from benign antibiotics such as penicillin to threatening mycotoxins …

The trend of reducing the use of chemical fungicides in the food industry has prompted
antimicrobial volatile substances of plants as an appropriate substitute for food …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a major role in pathogen-plant interactions: recognition
of a pathogen by the plant rapidly triggers the oxidative burst, which is necessary for further …

Reactive oxygen species are in all types of organisms from microbes to higher plants and
animals. They are by-products of normal metabolism, such as photosynthesis and …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been regarded as inevitable harmful by-products of
aerobic metabolism. Growing evidence, however, suggests that ROS play important …

Major insights into sexual development and cryptic sexuality within filamentous fungi have
been gained from investigations using Aspergillus species. Here, an overview is first given …

All living organisms use numerous signal-transduction systems to sense and respond to
their environments and thereby survive and proliferate in a range of biological niches …

Aspergilli produce conidia for reproduction or to survive hostile conditions, and they are
highly effective in the distribution of conidia through the environment. In …

In eukaryotic cells, a family of serine/threonine protein kinases known as mitogen-activated
protein (MAP) kinases (MAPKs) is involved in the transduction of a variety of extracellular …
