The first stage of chocolate production consists of a natural, seven-day microbial
fermentation of the pectinaceous pulp surrounding beans of the tree Theobroma cacao …

Cellular differentiation, mating, and filamentous growth are regulated in many fungi by
environmental and nutritional signals. For example, in response to nitrogen limitation …

We have determined how most of the transcriptional regulators encoded in the eukaryote
Saccharomyces cerevisiae associate with genes across the genome in living cells. Just as …

Proteins interact with genomic DNA to bring the genome to life; and these interactions also
define many functional features of the genome. SBF and MBF are sequence-specific …

Genome-wide transcript profiling was used to monitor signal transduction during yeast
pheromone response. Genetic manipulations allowed analysis of changes in gene …

Filamentous growth is a nutrient-regulated growth response that occurs in many fungal
species. In pathogens, filamentous growth is critical for host–cell attachment, invasion into …

▪ Abstract Fungal pathogens cause many of the most serious crop diseases. One of the
principal reasons for the success of this group is their ability to locate and perceive …

The soil‐borne vascular wilt fungus Fusarium oxysporum infects a wide variety of plant
species by directly penetrating roots, invading the cortex and colonizing the vascular tissue …

The actin cytoskeleton provides the structural basis for cell polarity in Saccharomyces
cerevisiae as well as most other eukaryotes. In Part I of this two-part commentary, presented …

MAP kinases in eukaryotic cells are well known for transducing a variety of extracellular
signals to regulate cell growth and differentiation. Recently, MAP kinases homologous to the …
