Many forest trees have evolved mutualistic symbioses with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi that
contribute to their phosphorus (P) nutrition. Forest productivity is frequently limited by P, a …

For unicellular organisms, the decision to enter the cell cycle can be viewed most
fundamentally as a metabolic problem. A cell must assess its nutritional and metabolic status …

Copper (Cu) is an essential metal that is toxic at high concentrations. Thus, pathogens often
rely on host Cu for growth, but host cells can hyperaccumulate Cu to exert antimicrobial …

Cells face major changes in demand for and supply of inorganic phosphate (Pi). Pi is often a
limiting nutrient in the environment, particularly for plants and microorganisms. At the same …

Chromatin dynamics crucially contributes to gene regulation. Studies of the yeast PHO5
promoter were key to establish this nowadays accepted view and continuously provide …

The nuclear envelope (NE) is important in maintaining genome organization. The role of
lipids in communication between the NE and telomere regulation was investigated …

Ustilago maydis is a plant-pathogenic fungus that establishes a biotrophic relationship with
its host plant, Zea mays. The pathogenic stage of U. maydis is initiated by the fusion of two …

Although yeast PHO5 promoter chromatin opening is a founding model for chromatin
remodeling, the complete set of involved remodelers remained unknown for a long time. The …

The nuclear envelope (NE) is important in maintaining genome organization. The role of
lipids in communication between the NE and telomere regulation was investigated …

Cells stabilize intracellular inorganic phosphate (Pi) to compromise between large
biosynthetic needs and detrimental bioenergetic effects of Pi. Pi homeostasis in eukaryotes …
