A A Colletotrichum graminicola Mutant Deficient in the Mutant Deficient in the Establishment of Biotrophy Reveals Early Transcriptional Events Establishment of Biotrophy Reveals Early Transcriptional Events in the Maize Anthracnose Disease Interaction in the Maize Anthracnose Disease Interaction
This approach revealed, in unprecedented detail, fungal genes specifically expressed during critical phases of host penetration and biotrophic establishment of C. graminicola.
It is shown that the understudied bZIP transcription factor PnAda1 is an important downstream component of this PnPf2-regulatory network, and current understanding of the transcriptional network underlying virulence, metabolism and stress adaptation in an important fungal wheat pathogen is expanded.

Findings suggest that P. agathidicida deploys a largely conserved molecular strategy to colonise gymnosperm and angiosperm hosts, supporting the use of N. benthamiana as a model system for functional studies, while also highlighting pathogen genes that are highly expressed and upregulated in each of the hosts.

It is revealed that CfMBZ1 plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of Glomerella leaf spot caused by C. fructicola and regulates appressorium-mediated penetration by modulating genes involved in peroxisome biogenesis, lipid droplet metabolism, and other penetration-related pathways.
