Fungal growth is closely related to virulence. Finding the key genes and pathways that regulate growth can help elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of fungal growth and virulence in efforts to locate new drug targets. is an important plant pathogen and human opportunistic pathogen that has research value in agricultural and medicinal fields.

Aspergillus fumigatus is an important opportunistic pathogenic fungus that causes invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised humans. Regulated fungal growth is essential for disease development and progression. Thus, screening for genes that regulate fungal growth may lead to the identification of potential therapeutic targets for invasive aspergillosis (IA).

Fusarium species cause many diseases in plants and humans, which results in a great number of economic losses every year. The management of plant diseases and related human diseases caused by Fusarium is challenging as many kinds of Fusarium may be intrinsically resistant to antifungal drugs, not to mention the fact that they can acquire drug resistance, which is common in clinical practice. To date, the drug resistance of Fusarium is mainly related to target alterations, drug efflux and biofilm formation.
