This study shows UV radiation increases ribosome levels and translation capacity in filamentous fungi after filament formation, enhancing UV survival and repair through mechanisms involving TOR signaling and gene expression modules.

This study analyzes the evolution of fungal PARP proteins across 534 species, identifying dynamic diversification and lineage-specific gains and losses.

This study uses water-relations measurements to detect and quantify Fusarium wilt in tomato plants earlier and more objectively than visual assessments.

The paper identifies three yeast lineages with reduced DNA repair genes and high evolutionary rates, showing how gene loss can lead to persistent hypermutator phenotypes.

The paper investigates synthetic lethality between toxic amino acids, the retrograde pathway, and molecular chaperones in yeast, showing that inhibiting these factors can sensitize cells to low doses of toxic amino acids.
