Filamentous fungi constitute a large group of eukaryotic microorganisms that grow by
forming simple tube-like hyphae that are capable of differentiating into more-complex …

Fusarium graminearum is a major fungal pathogen of cereals worldwide, causing seedling,
stem base and floral diseases, including Fusarium head blight (FHB). In addition to yield and …

Over the last decade, several studies have revealed the enormous potential of RNA-
silencing strategies as a potential alternative to conventional pesticides for plant protection …

RNA interference (RNAi) was discovered at the end of last millennium, changing the way
scientists understood regulation of gene expression. Within the following two decades, a …

Fusarium is an important genus of plant pathogenic fungi, and is widely distributed in soil
and associated with plants worldwide. The diversity of mycoviruses in Fusarium is …

The cereal pathogen Fusarium graminearum is the primary cause of Fusarium head blight
(FHB) and a significant threat to food safety and crop production. To elucidate population …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved eukaryotic mechanism that uses small RNA
molecules to suppress gene expression through sequence-specific messenger RNA …

Gene silencing guided by small RNAs governs a broad range of cellular processes in
eukaryotes. Small RNAs are important components of plant immunity because they …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate protein-coding gene
expression primarily found in plants and animals. Fungi produce microRNA-like RNAs …

In filamentous fungi, gene silencing by RNA interference (RNAi) shapes many biological
processes, including pathogenicity. Recently, fungal small RNAs (sRNAs) have been shown …
