Adaptive Horizontal Gene Transfers between Multiple Cheese-Associated Fungi
Domestication is an excellent model for studies of adaptation because it involves recent and strong selection on a few, identified traits [1-5]. Few studies have focused on the domestication of fungi, with notable exceptions [6-11], despite their importance to bioindustry [12] and to a general understanding of adaptation in eukaryotes [5]. Penicillium fungi are ubiquitous molds among which two ...
متن کاملProteomics of Plant Pathogenic Fungi
Plant pathogenic fungi cause important yield losses in crops. In order to develop efficient and environmental friendly crop protection strategies, molecular studies of the fungal biological cycle, virulence factors, and interaction with its host are necessary. For that reason, several approaches have been performed using both classical genetic, cell biology, and biochemistry and the modern, hol...
متن کاملAutophagy in plant pathogenic fungi.
Autophagy is a conserved cellular process that degrades cytoplasmic constituents in vacuoles. Plant pathogenic fungi develop special infection structures and/or secrete a range of enzymes to invade their plant hosts. It has been demonstrated that monitoring autophagy processes can be extremely useful in visualizing the sequence of events leading to pathogenicity of plant pathogenic fungi. In th...
متن کاملHorizontal gene transfers as metagenomic gene duplications.
While it is well accepted that horizontal gene transfer plays an important role in the evolution and the diversification of prokaryotic genomes, many questions remain open regarding its functional mechanisms of action and its interplay with the extant genome. This study addresses the relationship between proteome innovation by horizontal gene transfer and genome content in Proteobacteria. We ch...
متن کاملInteractions Between Myxobacteria, Plant Pathogenic Fungi, and Biocontrol Agents
Myxobacteria are gram-negative, unicellular bacteria with rod-shaped vegetative cells. They are unique among prokaryotes for using intercellular communication to engage in cooperative morphogenesis from which they produce fruiting bodies bearing resistant myxospores (5). Thick-walled myxospores are responsible for the survival of myxobacteria under unfavorable conditions such as desiccation, hi...
