Demand for biopesticides is growing due to the increase of areas under integrated pest
management worldwide. Conidia from entomopathogenic fungi play a major role as infective …

The typical life cycle of filamentous fungi commonly involves asexual sporulation after
vegetative growth in response to environmental factors. The production of asexual spores is …

The asexual sporulation of filamentous fungi is an important mechanism for their
reproduction, survival, and pathogenicity. In Aspergillus and several filamentous fungi, BrlA …

Dimorphic plant and human mycopathogens require a switch from the usual yeast growth to
filamentous growth for host tissue penetration, and the switch is controlled by multiple …

Aspergillus nidulans has long-been used as a model organism to gain insights into the
genetic basis of asexual and sexual developmental processes both in other members of the …

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 …

Fusarium fujikuroi causes bakanae (“foolish seedling”) disease of rice which is
characterized by hyper-elongation of seedlings resulting from production of gibberellic acids …

Asexual sporulation is fundamental to the ecology and lifestyle of filamentous fungi and can
facilitate both plant and human infection. In Aspergillus, the production of asexual spores is …

Many filamentous fungi produce only conidia for dispersal and survival in vitro or in vivo.
Here, we show that the developmental regulator WetA and the velvet protein VosA are not …

BrlA and AbaA are key activators of the central developmental pathway (CDP) that controls
asexual development in Aspergillus but their roles remain insufficiently understood in …
