Role of the cAMP signaling pathway in the dissemination and development on pepper fruit anthracnose disease caused by .

The ascomycete fungus causes severe anthracnose disease on the fruit of sweet pepper and chili pepper ( L.) worldwide. Understanding the biology of would improve the management of fruit anthracnose diseases.

Optimization of Polyethylene Glycol-Mediated Transformation of the Pepper Anthracnose Pathogen to Develop an Applied Genomics Approach.

is a species complex responsible for anthracnose disease in a wide range of host plants. Strain KC05, which was previously isolated from an infected pepper in Gangwon Province of South Korea, was reidentified as using combined sequence analyses of multiple genes. As a prerequisite for understanding the pathogenic development of the pepper anthracnose pathogen, we optimized the transformation system of KC05.

Encoding a Ran-Binding Protein Microtubule-Organizing Center Is Required for Asexual Reproduction and Infection in the Rice Blast Pathogen .

Like many fungal pathogens, the conidium and appressorium play key roles during polycyclic dissemination and infection of . Ran-binding protein microtubule-organizing center (RanBPM) is a highly conserved nucleocytoplasmic protein. In animalia, RanBPM has been implicated in apoptosis, cell morphology, and transcription.
