Fusarium species are among the most important phytopathogenic and toxigenic fungi. To
understand the molecular underpinnings of pathogenicity in the genus Fusarium, we …

Colletotrichum species are fungal pathogens that devastate crop plants worldwide. Host
infection involves the differentiation of specialized cell types that are associated with penetration…

The production of trichothecene mycotoxins by some plant pathogenic species of Fusarium
is thought to contribute to their virulence. Gibberella zeae (F. graminearum) is an important …

Fusarium is a genus of filamentous fungi that contains many agronomically important plant
pathogens, mycotoxin producers, and opportunistic human pathogens. Comparative …

We have analyzed the role of trichothecene toxins in the virulence of the fungus Gibberella
zeae (anamorph, Fusarium graminearum) on wheat (Triticum aestivum). Trichothecene-…

As the 20th century ended, Fusarium mycotoxicology entered the age of genomics. With
complete genomes of Fusarium graminearum and F. verticillioides and several Fusarium gene …

The fungus Fusarium fujikuroi causes “bakanae” disease of rice due to its ability to produce
gibberellins (GAs), but it is also known for producing harmful mycotoxins. However, the …

Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by the maize pathogen Gibberella moniliformis and are
associated with cancer in rodents. In this study, we determined the nucleotide sequence of …

… this trichothecene biosynthetic gene is likely functional, none of the five isolates examined
produced trichothecenes under standard laboratory conditions (McCormick and Proctor, …

… and Proctor, 1998). Production by G. fujikuroi mating population A (MP-A) (anamorph Fu- …
