IDENTIFYING HIGHLY CONSERVED PATHOGENICITY GENES IN CHESTNUT BLIGHT AND POWDERY MILDEW FUNGI AS TARGETS FOR NOVEL FORMS OF HOST RESISTANCE
… strain showed changes in phenotype and reduced fungal virulence against chestnut. TG4 appears to be a promising target for host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) in transgenic American chestnut. The use of homologues from genetically tractable species like Cp can help overcome the obstacles to …

ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY OF NATURAL AND NATURAL-INSPIRED BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS TO CONTROL THE RICE BLAST FUNGUS
Fungal pathogens pose a major threat to global agriculture and food security, with intensive monoculture and resistance to single-site fungicides exacerbating the challenge of effective crop protection. Among these pathogens, Pyricularia oryzae, the causal agent of rice blast and of other cereals, …

Understanding and Engineering Chemically Activated Ubiquitin Ligases for High-throughput Detection, Quantification, and Control of Molecules in Yeast
… auxin signaling in their host plant to promote fungal virulence and infection progression. Targeting the auxin signaling pathway in pathogenic fungi offers a novel strategy for combating fungal infections in both plants and humans. Nevertheless, the auxin biosynthesis pathway and the role of …

Virulence and Biofilm Formation In Candida Albicans Are Inhibited By Short Peptide Subunits of Entv
… albicans</em>, the most clinically significant fungal pathogen, commonly causes topical mucosal infections such as oral cavity and urogenital tract infections. It also less frequently causes severe invasive and bloodstream infections. Invasive infections are most prevalent amongst patients with …

Functional Analysis of Secondary Metabolite Biosynthesis-Related Genes in Alternaria brassicicola
… investigated with an emphasis on discovery of fungal virulence factors. A highly efficient gene disruption method using a short linear double stranded DNA construct with minimal elements was developed, optimized, and used to functionally disrupt all NPS and PKS genes in A. brassicicola. Three …

Iron and reactive oxygen in wheat-pathogen interactions
… in an effort to understand the impact of iron on fungal pathogenicity, I investigate iron uptake in the head blight pathogen, Fusarium graminearum. Fungi use at least two separate systems to take up iron, one based on enzymatic iron reduction and the other based on the synthesis and secretion of …
