Pheromone expression reveals putative mechanism of unisexuality in a saprobic ascomycete fungus
Homothallism (self-fertility) describes a wide variety of sexual strategies that enable a fungus to reproduce in the absence of a mating partner. Unisexual reproduction, a form of homothallism, is a process whereby a fungus can progress through sexual reproduction in the absence of mating genes previously considered essential for self-fertility. In this study, we consider the molecular mechanis...
متن کاملPolyketides from the ascomycete fungus Leptosphaeria sp.
The new polyketides leptosphaerins A-G (1-7) and the known compounds monodictysin B (8), 2-(2,6-dihydroxybenzoyl)-3-hydroxy-5-methylbenzoic acid (9), and 2-(2,6-dihydroxy-4-methylbenzoyl)-6-hydroxybenzoic acid (10) have been isolated from solid cultures of the ascomycete fungus Leptosphaeria sp. The absolute configurations of compounds 1, 2, and 6 were assigned using the modified Mosher method,...
متن کاملAbaA Regulates Conidiogenesis in the Ascomycete Fungus Fusarium graminearum
Fusarium graminearum (teleomorph Gibberella zeae) is a prominent pathogen that infects major cereal crops such as wheat, barley, and maize. Both sexual (ascospores) and asexual (conidia) spores are produced in F. graminearum. Since conidia are responsible for secondary infection in disease development, our objective of the present study was to reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying conidiog...
متن کاملA CD36 ectodomain mediates insect pheromone detection via a putative tunnelling mechanism
CD36 transmembrane proteins have diverse roles in lipid uptake, cell adhesion and pathogen sensing. Despite numerous in vitro studies, how they act in native cellular contexts is poorly understood. A Drosophila CD36 homologue, sensory neuron membrane protein 1 (SNMP1), was previously shown to facilitate detection of lipid-derived pheromones by their cognate receptors in olfactory cilia. Here we...
متن کاملGene expression profiling of the plant pathogenic basidiomycetous fungus Rhizoctonia solani AG 4 reveals putative virulence factors.
Rhizoctonia solani is a ubiquitous basidiomycetous soilborne fungal pathogen causing damping-off of seedlings, aerial blights and postharvest diseases. To gain insight into the molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis a global approach based on analysis of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) was undertaken. To get broad gene-expression coverage, two normalized EST libraries were developed from mycelia g...
