23. Auxin biosynthesis of the ascomycete Neurospora crassa in the context of plant-fungus interaction

Auxin biosynthesis of the ascomycete Neurospora crassa in the context of plant-fungus interaction Production of the plant phytohormone auxin has been reported in several phytopathogenic fungi (Jameson, 2000; Tsavkelova et al., 2012). In those cases, auxin is considered a regulator of the plant-fungus interaction. Surprisingly, several non- phytopathogenic fungi are also able to produce auxin...

22. Comparative analyses of compatible and incompatible host-pathogen interactions provide insight into host specialization of closely related pathogens

Emerging pathogens need to adapt swiftly to exploit new hosts for growth and reproduction. Host shifts can be facilitated by adaptive changes in gene expression landscapes. In order to identify transcriptional patterns related to divergent host specialization in specialized fungal plant pathogens, we compared the development and expression profiles of the wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici...

24. Investigating the auxin biosynthesis pathway of Neurospora crassa using the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system

In contrast to the situation in plants, the role auxin, especially indole-3 acetic acid (IAA), plays in fungi remains mostly unclear. The evolutionary context, under which the auxin synthesis pathway in non-plant associated fungi was retained, is thus not completely resolved, though evidence indicates a role in intercellular and interspecies communication, with a putative impact on the ecology...

27. Evolutionary and molecular basis of speciation in fungal plant pathogens: insights from Zymoseptoria pathosystems

Wagner C. Fagundes

Host-driven mutations are considered the strongest driver of pathogen evolution since successful infection,
colonization and completion of life cycle are crucial for plant pathogens. Host range is determined by a variety
of extrinsic and intrinsic factors like environment and host defense mechanisms that impact the incidence
and outcome of host infections. To facilitate host specialization,...

28. Regulation of Transposable elements in the wheat fungal pathogen ZYMOSEPTORIA TRITICI

Cécile Lorrain

In fungal genomes, transposable elements (TEs) are thought to be key drivers of variability among populations
in response to environmental stress. TEs proliferation could be either deleterious or beneficial depending
on their insertion sites, or neutral if they insert in non-coding nor regulatory regions. The recent PacBio
re-sequencing of several isolates of wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria...
