Sexual development in filamentous fungi is a complex process that relies on the precise
control of and interaction between a variety of genetic networks and pathways. The mating …

RNA editing in various organisms commonly restores RNA sequences to their ancestral
state, but its adaptive advantages are debated. In fungi, restorative editing corrects …

Quinones represent an important group of highly structurally diverse, mainly polyketide-

For fungal plant pathogens, the germinating spore provides the first interaction with the host.
Spore germlings move across the plant surface and use diverse penetration strategies for …

The Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC) is comprised of important pathogens of plants
