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

The paper reveals how CK1a-mediated phosphorylation of FRQ leads to a two-step remodeling of the FRQ-FRH complex, enabling precise circadian regulation through temporal decoding of phosphorylation states.

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