This study identifies an accessory chromosome in Metarhizium acridum that contains genes related to sexual reproduction and may facilitate homothallism.

This study shows that using insect-derived media improves spore production and virulence in entomopathogenic fungi, suggesting host-derived cues enhance their pathogenic potential.

This paper introduces a high-throughput method for measuring fungal growth rates using automated imaging and deep learning, showing it is accurate and scalable.

This paper investigates the sexual reproduction modes of Clonostachys rosea by analyzing MAT1 loci and linkage disequilibrium, finding both homothallic and heterothallic lineages within the species.

This paper examines horizontal chromosome transfer in fungi, highlighting a preference for accessory chromosomes and proposing mechanisms for their regulated transfer.

This study shows that fungal pathogens navigate host nutritional landscapes, with specialists and generalists differing in nutrient prioritization during development.

The paper identifies a novel virus associated with the fungus Entomophthora muscae that may contribute to host manipulation in houseflies through interactions with fungal proteins.

This paper presents a largely-complete genome of Entomophthora muscae, revealing insights into its large genome size, transposon activity, and unique biological features.

The paper reports the first documented case of diploidy in the haploid genus Metarhizium, specifically in the isolate M. acridum ARSEF 324, using SMRT sequencing and genomic analysis.

This study examines the intergenerational effects of prochloraz exposure in Daphnia magna, finding harmful effects in the F2 generation despite no exposure and a link to grandmaternal effects.
