The paper identifies SmDOC1/2 as regulators of the MAK2 pathway in Sordaria macrospora, showing non-redundant roles in sexual development through proximity mapping and genetic analysis.

This paper identifies Pef1 as a fungal protein that localizes to sites of membrane disruption in Candida albicans to maintain membrane integrity and support polarized growth.

The paper investigates whether cheater nuclei in filamentous fungi can increase in frequency by exploiting public goods, and how this affects virulence and antifungal resistance.

This study identifies pathogen-induced flavonoid and anthocyanin biosynthesis in Chrysanthemum seticuspe petals as a defense mechanism against Botrytis cinerea, showing their direct antifungal activity.

The paper identifies 2-hydroxymethylsuccinate as a product of itaconate metabolism via a CoA-independent pathway and shows tissue-specific degradation routes.

This study identifies pH gradients as a signaling mechanism for germling fusion in filamentous fungi, mediated by PmaI ATPase and CgSte3 receptor.

The paper identifies toxic intermediates in fungal metabolic pathways as potential antifungal targets using a random forest model and provides a web-service for exploration.

This study shows that phosphatidic acid, produced by phospholipase D, is essential for hyphal cell fusion and fungal-plant symbiosis in filamentous fungi.
