TL;DR: Findings show that preinvasion perception of plant-derived signals substantially reprograms fungal gene expression and indicate previously unknown functions for particular fungal cell types.

TL;DR: Hemibiotrophy in Colletotrichum is orchestrated through the coordinated expression of antagonistic effectors supporting either cell viability or cell death, revealing new levels of functional complexity for this fungal organ.

TL;DR: One further, hitherto hidden, role of INCO is the positive control of Antirrhinum floral meristem identity, revealed by genetic interactions between inco and mutants of FLORICAULA, a gene that controls the inflorescence to floral transition, together with SQUAMOSA.

TL;DR: A genome-wide gene expression analysis found that apparent compensatory transcriptional responses in these mutants involve the induction of wax, cutin, cell wall, and defense genes, and proposed that there is a role for SERRATE-mediated RNA signaling in the cuticle integrity pathway.
