This study compares gene expression profiles of two spore types in Colletotrichum graminicola during development and infection, revealing distinct transcriptomes and functional differences.

This study identifies diterpenoids as chemical attractants for C. graminicola oval conidia and shows that the CgSte3 receptor mediates their sensing, enabling root infection.

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

This study identifies CgSte3 as a receptor for plant signals in C. graminicola, showing its role in chemotropic growth through the CWI MAPK pathway.
