This study identifies molecular mechanisms coordinating cell polarity, septins, and NOX signaling in nematode-trapping fungi for trap formation.

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 identifies ammonium transporters in Arthrobotrys oligospora that regulate trap induction under nitrogen limitation, without affecting trap morphology or function.

The paper identifies NHR-66 as a regulator of cuticular collagen genes in C. elegans that mediate adhesion to the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora, revealing a trade-off between predator resistance and physiological stress tolerance.

This study shows that C. elegans becomes quiescent when trapped by the nematode-trapping fungus A. oligospora, involving mechanosensory neurons and immune gene upregulation.

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.
