Comparative Proteomic Analysis of Rhizoctonia solani Isolates Identifies the Differentially Expressed Proteins with Roles in Virulence

Seenichamy Rathinam Prabhukarthikeyan et al.

Summary: The proteomic analysis of high virulent and less virulent isolates of Rhizoctonia solani revealed differentially expressed proteins related to fungal development, sporulation, pathogenicity, and other functions. The study also confirmed a positive correlation between the abundances of proteins and transcripts. This research provides insights into the pathogenicity mechanism of R. solani in causing sheath blight disease in rice.

Genome-Wide Association Study of Sheath Blight Resistance within a Core Collection of Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Dong Fu et al.

Summary: Sheath blight disease (ShB) is the second most important disease affecting rice, and the genetic mechanism of ShB resistance is complex. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using SNPs from Ting's core collection, and significant SNPs associated with ShB resistance were identified. GO and KEGG analyses revealed the functional categories of these SNPs. The results provide a foundation for further research on elite genes and utilizing resistant varieties to improve ShB resistance.

Endophytic Fungal and Bacterial Microbiota Shift in Rice and Barnyardgrass Grown under Co-Culture Condition

Shuyan Li et al.

Summary: This study found that in the presence of barnyardgrass, rice had higher bacterial diversity but lower fungal richness compared to the barnyardgrass. Rice recruited more endophytic bacteria at certain growth stages and more endophytic fungi at other stages to combat the biotic stress from barnyardgrass. The composition of endophytic bacteria and fungi in the roots of rice and barnyardgrass differed, and there was a negative correlation between bacteria and fungi in both species.

Understanding the Role of Nitronate Monooxygenases in Virulence of the Human Fungal Pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus

Phuong Tuyen Nguyen et al.

Summary: Aspergillus fumigatus is a leading cause of the fungal invasive disease aspergillosis. The increasing prevalence of azole-resistant A. fumigatus isolates highlights the importance of discovering new fungal virulence factors. Nitronate monooxygenases (Nmos) represent potential targets for antifungal compounds. However, Nmos are not essential for the oxidative stress resistance of A. fumigatus in vitro, but they contribute to defense against host immune response and promote fungal virulence.

Volatile organic compound patterns predict fungal trophic mode and lifestyle

Yuan Guo et al.

Summary: Fungi produce a wide variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that play central roles in fungal interactions. By analyzing VOC patterns and chemical diversity, researchers can predict fungal traits such as phyla and trophic modes. Different chemical classes of VOCs show varying levels of phenotypic integration within distinct functional guilds, and unique VOC patterns can predict important traits of fungi such as trophic modes and symbiotic lifestyle.

Endophytic Fungi: From Symbiosis to Secondary Metabolite Communications or Vice Versa?

Beena Alam et al.

Summary: Endophytic fungi are host-associated fungal communities that provide beneficial effects to their hosts while gaining advantages through multidimensional interactions with host plants and other microbiomes. Secondary metabolites play a key role in these interactions and have various biological applications in modern medicine, agriculture, and industry. Research on endophytic fungi has revealed their biodiversity, ecological distribution, and potential for further study in the field of endophytic biology.
