How alkalinization drives fungal pathogenicity
(Public Library of Science, 2017)pH governs most, if not all, processes of life. In fungi, ambient pH acts as a potent regulator of growth and development [1]. Studies conducted primarily in the 2 model organisms Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aspergillus ... -
Murine Model for Fusarium oxysporum Invasive Fusariosis Reveals Organ-Specific Structures for Dissemination and Long-Term Persistence
(PLOS, 2014)The soil-borne plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum causes life-threatening invasive fusariosis in immunocompromised individuals. The mechanism of infection in mammalian hosts is largely unknown. In the present study we show ... -
Resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lentis in lentil (Lens culinaris): mechanisms of resistance and pathogenic variability
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2017)Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris) is one of the most important cool season food legumes. World production of lentil is estimated at 4.95 million tons from an estimated 4.34 million ha with an average yield ... -
Targeting Iron Acquisition Blocks Infection with the Fungal Pathogens Aspergillus fumigatus and Fusarium oxysporum
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Filamentous fungi are an important cause of pulmonary and systemic morbidity and mortality, and also cause corneal blindness and visual impairment worldwide. Utilizing in vitro neutrophil killing assays and a model of ... -
The Fusarium oxysporum gnt2, Encoding a Putative NAcetylglucosamine Transferase, Is Involved in Cell Wall Architecture and Virulence
(Public Library of Science, 2013)With the aim to decipher the molecular dialogue and cross talk between Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersci and its host during infection and to understand the molecular bases that govern fungal pathogenicity, we analysed ...
