Not revised: This Reviewed Preprint includes the authors’ original preprint (without revision), an eLife assessment, and public reviews. This study focuses on characterizing a previously identified ...

The entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii offers an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical insecticides for biocontrol of insect pests. Upon insect cuticle induction, fungal ...

Susceptible host plants challenged by fungal pathogens can display different types of lesions, which can be attributed to environmental factors affecting the nature of interactions between the host ...

Diverse regulatory mechanisms, such as transcription, splicing, messenger RNA (mRNA) structure, mRNA stability, translation, and protein degradation, crucially regulate gene expression in eukaryotic ...

The reason for obsoletion is that there is no evidence that either of these processes exist. There are no experimental annotations to this term by (list of impacted groups and their respective numbers ...

Many phytopathogenic fungi need specialized structures, called appressoria, to penetrate the plant before infection starts. For these structures, the fungus must carefully control when and where its ...

In response to environmental changes and nutrient starvation, cells are known to undergo extreme alterations. This includes switching from one type to another (“differentiation”) and changes in ...

A group of scientists from Japan--led by Prof Takashi Kamakura of Tokyo University of Science--has demonstrated, for the first time, the molecular and cellular basis of the "adverse" effects of the ...
