Highlights What are the main findings? Mechanisms by which nanoparticles exert their
damage on fungi were described. Transcriptomic studies regarding exposure to …

The composition and organization of the cell walls from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida
albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Neurospora crassa, and …

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea are closely related necrotrophic plant
pathogenic fungi notable for their wide host ranges and environmental persistence. These …

Background Mycoparasitism, a lifestyle where one fungus is parasitic on another fungus,
has special relevance when the prey is a plant pathogen, providing a strategy for biological …

The fungal cell wall is a dynamic structure that protects the cell from changes in osmotic
pressure and other environmental stresses, while allowing the fungal cell to interact with its …

The filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger is widely exploited by the fermentation industry for
the production of enzymes and organic acids, particularly citric acid. We sequenced the 33.9 …

The low rate of homologous recombination exhibited by wild-type strains of filamentous
fungi has hindered development of high-throughput gene knockout procedures for this …

Brown-rot fungi such as Postia placenta are common inhabitants of forest ecosystems and
are also largely responsible for the destructive decay of wooden structures. Rapid …

Plant biomass degradation by fungi requires a diverse set of secreted enzymes and
significantly contributes to the global carbon cycle. Recent advances in genomic and …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been regarded as inevitable harmful by-products of
aerobic metabolism. Growing evidence, however, suggests that ROS play important …
