Microorganisms are able to utilize nitrogen (N) from a wide range of organic and mineral
compounds. In this paper, we review the current knowledge about the regulation of the …

Fungi occupy diverse environments where they are constantly challenged by stressors such
as extreme pH, temperature, UV exposure, and nutrient deprivation. Nitrogen is an essential …

Nitrogen (N) is essential for life and is a major limiting factor of plant growth. Because soils
frequently lack sufficient N, large quantities of inorganic N fertilizers are added to soils for …

Plant‐pathogenic fungi are a significant threat to economic and food security worldwide.
Novel protection strategies are required and therefore it is critical we understand the …

During infection, fungal pathogens activate virulence mechanisms, such as host adhesion,
penetration and invasive growth. In the vascular wilt fungus Fusarium oxysporum, the …

Significance: Proline metabolism has complex roles in a variety of biological processes,
including cell signaling, stress protection, and energy production. Proline also contributes to …

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), ectomycorrhiza (ECM) and nitrogen (N) fixation through
rhizobia symbioses (RS) play a critical role for plant nutrient use efficiency in natural …

In the symbiotic association of plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, the fungus
delivers mineral nutrients, such as phosphate and nitrogen, to the plant while receiving …

The opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans is a part of the normal flora but it also
causes systemic candidiasis if it reaches the bloodstream. Upon being phagocytized by …

Fusarium oxysporum, a ubiquitous soilborne pathogen, causes devastating vascular wilt in
more than 100 plant species and ranks 5th among the top 10 fungal plant pathogens. It has …
