ABSTRACT DNA methylation is a process in which methyl (CH3) groups are added to the
DNA molecule. The DNA segment does not change in the sequence, but DNA methylation …

DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are a group of proteins that catalyze DNA methylation by
transferring a methyl group to DNA. The genetic variation in DNMTs results in differential …

Secondary metabolism is one of the important mechanisms by which fungi adapt to their
living environment and promote survival and reproduction. Recent studies have shown that …

The emergence of fungicide resistance severely threatens crop production by limiting the
availability and application of established fungicides. Therefore, it is urgent to identify new …

To successfully infect plants and trigger disease, fungal plant pathogens use various
strategies that are dependent on characteristics of their biology and genomes. Although …

We show that a gene (CpGap1) encoding a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein
(GPI-AP) of the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica is differentially expressed by …

Two DNA methyltransferase (DNMTase) genes from Cryphonectria parasitica have been
previously identified as CpDmt1 and CpDmt2, which are orthologous to rid and dim-2 of …

As a conserved epigenetic mark, DNA cytosine methylation, at the 5'position (5-mC), plays
important roles in multiple biological processes, including plant immunity. However, the …

Forests provide invaluable economic, ecological, and social services. At the same time, they
are exposed to several threats, such as fragmentation, changing climatic conditions, or …
