This study identifies a mycorrhizal fungus that promotes plant growth through phosphate solubilization and phenylpropanoid metabolism.

This study identifies a mitochondrial regulon essential for ferroptosis in the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae, linking mitochondrial metabolism and redox regulation to fungal pathogenesis.

This study identifies a novel endolysosomal trafficking pathway in Magnaporthe oryzae that facilitates effector secretion and host invasion via Rab7/Retromer/MoSnc1-mediated vesicle transport.

This study identifies Smi1p as a regulator of Bgs1p function during cytokinesis in fission yeast, showing its role in cell wall synthesis and actomyosin ring dynamics.

This study identifies fungal auxin as a quorum-sensing signal modulating rice blast disease severity through IAA biosynthesis and secretion.

This study identifies a fungal oxylipin analogous to jasmonic acid as a morphogenetic signal that triggers pathogenic development in Magnaporthe oryzae by interacting with cyclic AMP and redox signaling.

This study identifies fungus-derived phytohormones from Penicillium citrinum that promote Choy Sum growth through volatile metabolites and hormone-like compounds.

This study identifies ferroptosis as a key developmental cell death mechanism in the rice blast fungus, showing its role in pathogenic growth and host invasion.

This study shows that mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy are essential for the invasive growth of Magnaporthe oryzae during rice blast disease.

This study identifies CPK2 as a catalytic subunit of cAMP-PKA in Magnaporthe oryzae, showing it plays a role in surface sensing and morphogenesis during pathogenesis, with distinct functions from CPKA.
