Penicillium marneffei infection is an important emerging public health problem, especially
among patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus in the areas of endemicity in …

The ability of pathogenic fungi to switch between a multicellular hyphal and unicellular yeast
growth form is a tightly regulated process known as dimorphic switching. Dimorphic …

We present an analysis of over 1,100 of the∼ 10,000 predicted proteins encoded by the
genome sequence of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. Seven major areas of …

Although much is known about the signals and mechanisms that lead to pathogenic
interactions between plants and fungi, comparatively little is known about fungus–plant …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a dual role in fruit–pathogen interaction, which largely
depends on their different levels in cells. Fruit recognition of a pathogen immediately triggers …

Nematode-trapping (NT) fungi can form unique infection structures (traps) to capture and kill
free-living nematodes and, thus, can play a potential role in the biocontrol of nematodes …

Synthesis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by specific NADPH oxidases (Nox) can serve
both defense and differentiation signaling roles in animals and plants. Fungi have three …

The impact of filamentous fungi on human welfare has never been greater. Fungi are
acknowledged as the most economically devastating plant pathogens (1) and are attaining …

Growth and morphogenesis of filamentous fungi is underpinned by dynamic reorganization
and polarization of the actin cytoskeleton. Actin has crucial roles in exocytosis, endocytosis …

Filamentous fungi grow by the polar extension of hyphae. This polar growth requires the
specification of sites of germ tube or branch emergence, followed by the recruitment of the …
