A fungal secondary metabolism gene cluster enables mutualist-pathogen transition in root endophyte Colletotrichum tofieldiae

K. Hiruma, S. Aoki, Y. D. Utami, M. Okamoto, N. Kawamura, M. Nakamura, Y. Ohmori, R. Sugita, K. Tanoi, T. Sato, W. Iwasaki, Y. Saijo

The paper identifies a fungal gene cluster in Colletotrichum tofieldiae that enables lifestyle transition between mutualism and pathogenesis by modulating host nutrient uptake and ABA pathways.

Synergistic and offset effects of fungal species combinations on plant performance

Y. Hori, H. Fujita, K. Hiruma, K. Narisawa, H. Toju

The paper evaluates how combinations of fungal species affect plant performance, finding that synergistic and offset effects are common, and single-species inoculations may misrepresent microbial impacts in multi-species contexts.

Host-dependent fungus-fungus competition suppresses fungal pathogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana

K. Pathompitaknukul, K. Hiruma, H. Tanaka, N. Kawamura, A. Toyoda, T. Itoh, Y. Saijo

The paper shows that a non-pathogenic fungus inhibits pathogenic fungi in Arabidopsis roots, depending on host phosphate status and defense mechanisms.
