Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) distribute in different fungal phyla with variable host ranges
and play essential role in regulating insect populations by infecting hosts via cuticle …

Broad host range insect pathogenic fungi penetrate through the host cuticle, necessitating
an ability to confront and overcome surface lipids and other molecules that often include …

Fungal G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) play essential roles in sensing environmental
cues including host signals. The study of GPCR in mediating fungus-insect interactions is …

In pathogenic filamentous fungi, conidial germination not only is fundamental for
propagation in the environment but is also a critical step of infection. In the insect …

Phospholipids are major structural components of all cell membranes and participate in
energy storage, signal transduction and environmental adaptability in eukaryotes. To date …

The requirement of macroautophagic/autophagic machinery for filamentous fungal
development and pathogenicity has been recognized, but the underlying effects and …

Abstract Background Ascomycete Cordyceps species have been using as valued traditional
Chinese medicines. Particularly, the fruiting bodies of Cordyceps cicadae (syn. Isaria …

Phospholipid‐mediated signal transduction plays a key role in responses to environmental
changes, but little is known about the role of phospholipid signalling in microorganisms …

The ascomycete genus Metarhizium contains several species of insect pathogenic fungi
ranging from specialists with narrow host ranges to generalists that can infect diverse …

The Woronin body (WB) is a peroxisome-derived dense-core vesicle, a self-assembling
hexagonal crystal of a single protein Hex1. This organelle is specific to the ascomycete fungi …
