Two‐component system (TCS) signaling circuits regulate numerous cellular processes in
response to environmental cues in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. These signaling …

Asexual development, conidiation, in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa is a simple
developmental process that starts with the growth of aerial hyphae. Then, the formation of …

The filamentous fungus Sordaria macrospora is a model system to study multicellular
development during fruiting body formation. Previously, we demonstrated that this major …

Fungal plant cell wall degradation processes are governed by complex regulatory
mechanisms, allowing the organisms to adapt their metabolic program with high specificity …

Carotenoids are widespread pigments in nature, obtained by direct synthesis or by ingestion
in all taxonomic groups, and playing a large diversity of biological functions. Carotenoid …

Eukaryotes evolved various strategies to coordinate their development and metabolism in
response to harsh environments. However, it remains unknown whether fungi increase their …

Histidine kinases (HKs) are important sensor proteins in fungi and play an essential role in
environmental adaptation. However, the mechanisms by which fungi sense and respond to …

We investigated phenotypes of the double mutants of the calcium (Ca 2+) signaling genes
plc-1, splA2, and cpe-1 encoding for a phospholipase C1 (PLC-1), a secretory …

The origins and maintenance of the rich fungal diversity have been longstanding issues in
evolutionary biology. To investigate how differences in expression regulation contribute to …

The cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) family of zinc transporters plays a crucial role in zinc
homeostasis in eukaryotes, including fungi. Here, we investigated the cell functions and …
