This study identifies SMT1 as a key gene regulated by Cre1 and Ste12 that integrates nutrient and prey signals to control trap formation in the predatory fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora.

The paper develops a congenic strain of Pleurotus ostreatus by introgressing mating-type loci from one strain into another, revealing the multiallelic structure of these loci and their genomic organization.

This study uses forward genetic screens in Arthrobotrys oligospora to identify genes involved in trap morphogenesis, finding mutations in signaling, transcription, and membrane transport genes.

This study assembled and compared the genomes of two Pleurotus pulmonarius strains to explore their carnivorous behavior and genomic differences.

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly of the oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus strain PC9 using PacBio and Illumina sequencing, improving upon its previously fragmentary genome.

The paper identifies a highly responsive Arthrobotrys oligospora strain for studying fungal-nematode interactions and shows G-protein signaling is essential for trap formation.
