Breaking the bad: Bacillus blocks fungal virulence factors by François L. Mayer, James W. Kronstad

“…Inhibiting such factors generally results in reduced fungal pathogenicity. Most studies in the past have focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms of fungal virulence factor expression during mono-culture, or during interaction with the host. …”

Characterization of temporal expression of immune genes in female locust challenged by fungal pathogen, Aspergillus sp. by Muhammad Saad Waqas, Xiao Xu, Pengfei Zhang, Jin Guo, Shaojing Hu, Yinwei You, Long Zhang

“…This means that fat body cells, but not hemocytes, would be able to precisely recognize invading pathogens. Most serine protease inhibitors (SERPINs) genes and clip domain serine proteinase (CLIP) genes were up-regulated in fat body cells. …”
