Filamentous fungi constitute a large group of eukaryotic microorganisms that grow by
forming simple tube-like hyphae that are capable of differentiating into more-complex …

Biotrophic fungal plant pathogens establish an intimate relationship with their host to support
the infection process. Central to this strategy is the secretion of a range of protein effectors …

Eukaryotic filamentous plant pathogens secrete effector proteins that modulate the host cell
to facilitate infection. Computational effector candidate identification and subsequent …

Plant‐pathogenic fungi are a significant threat to economic and food security worldwide.
Novel protection strategies are required and therefore it is critical we understand the …

Highlights•Appressorium development is linked to cell cycle checkpoints controlling
morphogenesis.•Ras GTPase signalling acts upstream of cAMP and MAP kinase pathways …

Filamentous fungi are a large and ancient clade of microorganisms that occupy a broad
range of ecological niches. The success of filamentous fungi is largely due to their elongate …

Cell biological research in the wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici (formerly Mycosphaerella
graminicola) has led to a good understanding of the histology of the infection process …

Plant–microbe interactions have evolved over hundreds of millions of years, generating a
diversity of interactions covering a broad continuum from pathogenic to mutualistic …

Intracellular transport is mediated by molecular motors that bind cargo to be transported
along the cytoskeleton. Here, we report, for the first time, that peroxisomes (POs), lipid …

In eukaryotic cells, proteins are targeted to their final subcellular locations with precise
timing. A key underlying mechanism is the active transport of cognate mRNAs, which in …
