Editorial Current Fungal Genomics
Fungi are important to biotechnology including medicine, agriculture and industry fields. Over 100 fungi genome have been sequenced or are being sequenced between 2013/2015 including human and plant pathogens as well as fungi that serve as basic models for molecular and cellular biology. The fungal community working in genomic area is increasing dramatically recently. The obtained data is enabl...

متن کاملIdentification and Evaluation of Novel Drug Targets against the Human Fungal Pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus with Elaboration on the Possible Role of RNA-Binding Protein
Bakground: Aspergillus fumigatus is an airborne opportunistic fungal pathogen that can cause fatal infections in immunocompromised patients. Although the current anti-fungal therapies are relatively efficient, some issues such as drug toxicity, drug interactions, and the emergence of drug-resistant fungi have promoted the intense research toward finding the novel drug targets. Methods: In searc...
متن کاملExploiting the full potential of disease-resistance genes for agricultural use.
Effective and sustained control of fungal pathogens and nematodes is an important issue for all agricultural systems. Global losses caused by pathogens are estimated to be 12% of the potential crop production [1], despite the continued release of new resistant cultivars and pesticides. Furthermore, fungi are continually becoming resistant to existing resistance genes and fungicides, and a few o...
متن کاملEffect of vibration on dispersal of Cladosporium cladosporioides bioaerosols.
The vibration of fungal cultures was evaluated to determine its potential effect on the dispersal of airborne fungal microorganisms suspected of being pathogens. An artificial vibration system, which simulates the actual environmental vibration of fungal structures, was designed and constructed for this purpose. Experiments featured the use of low-frequency vibrations similar to those induced b...
