Filamentous fungi produce a number of small bioactive molecules as part of their secondary
metabolism ranging from benign antibiotics such as penicillin to threatening mycotoxins …

Ubiquitin-proteasome mediated protein turnover is an important regulatory mechanism of
cellular function in eukaryotes. Extensive studies have linked the ubiquitin-proteasome …

Fungi display astounding diversity in their pathogenicity. We categorize them as biotrophs or
necrotrophs and as obligate or facultative pathogens, but these categories do not reflect …

Post-translational modifications of chromatin structure by histone acetyltransferase (HATs)
play a central role in the regulation of gene expression and various biological processes in …

The utilisation of lignocellulosic plant biomass as an abundant, renewable feedstock for
green chemistries and biofuel production is inhibited by its recalcitrant nature. In the …

The oxidative stress response is required for plant pathogens to endure host-derived
oxidative stress during infection. Previously, we identified the eight transcription factors (TFs) …

The F-box domain, so called after a conserved domain found in human cyclin F (5), was
described in 1996 (6) after first being denoted a conserved N-terminal domain found in a …

Fusarium graminearum (teleomorph Gibberella zeae) is a prominent pathogen that infects
major cereal crops such as wheat, barley, and maize. Both sexual (ascospores) and asexual …

Fusarium head blight caused by Fusarium graminearum is an important disease of wheat
and barley. In a previous study, we identified several mutants with reduced virulence by …

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) citrate lyase (ACL) is a key enzyme in the production of
cytosolic acetyl-CoA, which is crucial for de novo lipid synthesis and histone acetylation in …
