TL;DR: Comparison of genomes of three phenotypically diverse Fusarium species revealed lineage-specific genomic regions in F. oxysporum that include four entire chromosomes and account for more than one-quarter of the genome, putting the evolution of fungal pathogenicity into a new perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Wor1-like Protein Fgp1 Regulates Pathogenicity, Toxin Synthesis and Reproduction in the Phytopathogenic Fungus Fusarium graminearum
TL;DR: Deletion of the WOR1 ortholog (called FGP1) in F. graminearum results in greatly reduced pathogenicity and loss of trichothecene toxin accumulation in infected wheat plants and in vitro, and this loss of toxin accumulation alone may be sufficient to explain the loss of pathogenicicity to wheat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lessons from fungal F-box proteins.
Wilfried Jonkers,Martijn Rep +1 more
TL;DR: The F-box hypothesis is based on the assumption that an F box mediates assembly into an SCF complex through binding to the Skp1 subunit, and in budding yeast, deletion mutants for Nedd8 and CSN5, the CSN subunit responsible for the deneddylation reaction, are both viable.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Genome of the Generalist Plant Pathogen Fusarium avenaceum Is Enriched with Genes Involved in Redox, Signaling and Secondary Metabolism

TL;DR: Many protein families are expanded in F. avenaceum, such as transcription factors, and proteins involved in redox reactions and signal transduction, suggesting evolutionary adaptation to a diverse and cosmopolitan ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions between Fusarium verticillioides, Ustilago maydis, and Zea mays: an endophyte, a pathogen, and their shared plant host.
TL;DR: An endophyte such as F. verticillioides may function as both a defensive mutualist and a parasite, and express nutritional modes that depend on ecological context, as well as co-inoculation of the endophytes with the pathogen.
