The composition and organization of the cell walls from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida
albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Neurospora crassa, and …

Cell-to-cell communication and cell fusion are fundamental biological processes across the
tree of life. Survival is often dependent upon being able to identify nearby individuals and …

Myxobacterial predation on bacteria has been investigated for several decades. However,
their predation on fungi has received less attention. Here, we show that a novel outer …

Organisms require the ability to differentiate themselves from organisms of different or even
the same species. Allorecognition processes in filamentous fungi are essential to ensure …

Signal transduction pathways regulating cell wall integrity (CWI) in filamentous fungi have
been studied taking into account findings in budding yeast, and much knowledge has been …

Trichoderma harzianum is a well-known biological control agent (BCA) that is effective
against a variety of plant pathogens. In previous studies, we found that T. harzianum T4 …

Intercellular communication is critical for the survival of unicellular organisms as well as for
the development and function of multicellular tissues. Cell-to-cell signaling is also required …

In the root endophyte Serendipita indica, several lectin‐like members of the expanded
multigene family of WSC proteins are transcriptionally induced in planta and are potentially …

Social cooperation impacts the development and survival of species. In higher taxa, kin
recognition occurs via visual, chemical, or tactile cues that dictate cooperative versus …

Cell fusion in genetically identical Neurospora crassa germlings and in hyphae is a highly
regulated process involving the activation of a conserved MAP kinase cascade that includes …
