Mycology . 2014 Mar; 4(4):179-186. PMID: 24587959
Fumonisins are agriculturally important mycotoxins produced by the maize pathogen The chemical structure of fumonisins contains two tricarballylic esters, which are rare structural moieties and important for toxicity. The mechanism...

PLoS One . 2013 Jul; 8(7):e68441. PMID: 23874628
Fusarium graminearum, the causal agent of Fusarium head blight in cereal crops, produces mycotoxins such as trichothecenes and zearalenone in infected plants. Here, we focused on the function of FgLaeA...

Brown D, Butchko R, Busman M, Proctor R
Fungal Genet Biol . 2012 Jun; 49(7):521-32. PMID: 22652150
The genus Fusarium is of concern to agricultural production and food/feed safety because of its ability to cause crop disease and to produce mycotoxins. Understanding the genetic basis for production...

Nature . 2010 Mar; 464(7287):367-73. PMID: 20237561
Fusarium species are among the most important phytopathogenic and toxigenic fungi. To understand the molecular underpinnings of pathogenicity in the genus Fusarium, we compared the genomes of three phenotypically diverse...
