In recent years, because of increased resistance to conventional antimicrobials, many
researchers have started to study the synthesis of new antibiotics to control the disease …

Antimicrobial peptides are a vital component of the innate immune system of all eukaryotic
organisms and many of these peptides have potent antifungal activity. They have potential …

The essential oil extracted from the seeds of dill (Anethum graveolens L.) was demonstrated
in this study as a potential source of an eco-friendly antifungal agent. To elucidate the …

The incidence of invasive fungal infections is increasing worldwide, resulting in more than
1.6 million deaths every year. Due to growing antifungal drug resistance and the limited …

Antimicrobial proteins (AMPs) are widely distributed in nature. In higher eukaryotes, AMPs
provide the host with an important defence mechanism against invading pathogens. AMPs …

The dimorphic fungus Candida albicans secretes farnesol, which acts as a quorum‐sensing
molecule and prevents the yeast to mycelium conversion. In this study we examined the …

Antibiosis is one of the widespread strategies used by Trichoderma spp. against plant fungal
pathogens, the mechanism of which, however, remains poorly understood. Peptaibols are a …

Non-self recognition resulting in programmed cell death is a ubiquitous phenomenon in
filamentous ascomycete fungi and is termed heterokaryon incompatibility (HI). Recent …

Cells of all living organisms are programmed to self-destruct under certain conditions. The
most well known form of programmed cell death is apoptosis, which is essential for proper …

Sclerotium-forming filamentous fungi are of great agricultural and biological interest
because they can be viewed as models of simple metamorphosis. They differentiate by …
