1.
Preventing Fusarium head blight of wheat and cob rot of maize by inhibition of fungal deoxyhypusine synthase
Woriedh M, Hauber I, Martinez-Rocha A, Voigt C, Maier F, Schroder M, et al.
Mol Plant Microbe Interact . 2011 Apr; 24(5):619-27. PMID: 21463208
Upon posttranslational activation, the eukaryotic initiation factor-5A (eIF-5A) transports a subset of mRNAs out of the nucleus to the ribosomes for translation. Activation of the protein is an evolutionary highly...
2.
Involvement of trichothecenes in fusarioses of wheat, barley and maize evaluated by gene disruption of the trichodiene synthase (Tri5) gene in three field isolates of different chemotype and virulence
Maier F, Miedaner T, Hadeler B, Felk A, Salomon S, Lemmens M, et al.
Mol Plant Pathol . 2010 May; 7(6):449-61. PMID: 20507460
SUMMARY Fusarium graminearum is the main causative agent of Fusarium head blight on small grain cereals and of ear rot on maize. The disease leads to dramatic yield losses and...
3.
Developing kernel and rachis node induce the trichothecene pathway of Fusarium graminearum during wheat head infection
Ilgen P, Hadeler B, Maier F, Schafer W
Mol Plant Microbe Interact . 2009 Jul; 22(8):899-908. PMID: 19589066
The fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum is the most common agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB) in small grain cereals and cob rot of maize. The threat posed by this fungus...
4.
Isolation and characterization of the mating-type locus of the barley pathogen Pyrenophora teres and frequencies of mating-type idiomorphs within and among fungal populations collected from barley landraces
Rau D, Maier F, Papa R, Brown A, Balmas V, Saba E, et al.
Genome . 2006 Jan; 48(5):855-69. PMID: 16391692
Pyrenophora teres f. sp. teres mating-type genes (MAT-1: 1190 bp; MAT-2: 1055 bp) have been identified. Their predicted proteins, measuring 379 and 333 amino acids, respectively, are similar to those...
5.
Infection patterns in barley and wheat spikes inoculated with wild-type and trichodiene synthase gene disrupted Fusarium graminearum
Jansen C, von Wettstein D, Schafer W, Kogel K, Felk A, Maier F
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2005 Nov; 102(46):16892-7. PMID: 16263921
Fusarium head blight epidemics of wheat and barley cause heavy economic losses to farmers due to yield decreases and production of mycotoxin that renders the grain useless for flour and...
6.
Identification of a gene cluster responsible for the biosynthesis of aurofusarin in the Fusarium graminearum species complex
Malz S, Grell M, Thrane C, Maier F, Rosager P, Felk A, et al.
Fungal Genet Biol . 2005 Apr; 42(5):420-33. PMID: 15809006
The red pigmentation of Fusarium graminearum and related species that cause stem and head blight of cereals is due to the deposition of aurofusarin in the cell walls. To determine...
7.
Development of a highly efficient gene targeting system for Fusarium graminearum using the disruption of a polyketide synthase gene as a visible marker
Maier F, Malz S, Losch A, Lacour T, Schafer W
FEMS Yeast Res . 2005 Mar; 5(6-7):653-62. PMID: 15780665
We cloned a polyketide synthase gene (pks12) from Fusarium graminearum, a devastating fungal pathogen of cereals. Transformation-mediated gene disruption led to an easily detectable albino phenotype of the disruptants. We...
8.
Mating, conidiation and pathogenicity of Fusarium graminearum, the main causal agent of the head-blight disease of wheat, are regulated by the MAP kinase gpmk1
Jenczmionka N, Maier F, Losch A, Schafer W
Curr Genet . 2003 Apr; 43(2):87-95. PMID: 12695848
To date, only very little is known about the molecular infection mechanisms of the head-blight pathogen of wheat, Fusarium graminearum (teleomorph Gibberella zeae). Here, we report on the isolation and...
