Six transcription regulatory genes of the V erticillium plant pathogen, which reprogrammed
nonadherent budding yeasts for adhesion, were isolated by a genetic screen to identify …

Verticillium dahliae nuclear transcription factors Som1 and Vta3 can rescue adhesion in a
FLO 8‐deficient Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain. Som1 and Vta3 induce the expression of …

Many fungi are able to produce resting structures, which ensure survival and protect them
against various stresses in their habitat such as exposure to UV light, temperature variations …

Vascular wilt caused by Verticillium dahliae is a destructive disease that represents a
chronic economic problem for crop production worldwide. In this work, we characterized two …

Plant pathogens of the genus Verticillium pose a threat to many important crops worldwide.
They are soil‐borne fungi which invade the plant systemically, causing wilt symptoms. We …

Resistance against the leaf mold fungus Cladosporium fulvum is mediated by the tomato Cf
proteins which belong to the class of receptor-like proteins and indirectly recognize …

The biotrophic fungal pathogen Cladosporium fulvum (syn. Passalora fulva) is the causal
agent of tomato leaf mold. The Avr4 protein belongs to a set of effectors that is secreted by C …

Calcium signaling plays crucial roles in ion stress tolerance, sporulation and pathogenicity
in fungi. Although the signaling pathway mediated by calcineurin and the calcineurin …

Fungal spores, germlings, and mycelia adhere to substrates, including host tissues. The
adhesive forces depend on the substrate and on the adhesins, the fungal cell surface …

The ascomycete fungus Verticillium dahliae causes vascular wilt diseases in hundreds of
dicotyledonous plant species. However, thus far, only few V. dahliae effectors have been …
