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

This paper identifies a fungal effector, UmPce3, that targets the chloroplast DEAD-box RNA helicase RH3 to manipulate chloroplast function, enhancing fungal pathogenesis while balancing plant stress responses.

This study shows that polyphosphate mobilization is critical for Cryptococcus neoformans virulence in a mouse model, affecting cell surface structure, immune response, and mitochondrial function.
