Wilson, Andi M.; Wilken, Pieter Markus; Wingfield, Michael J.; Wingfield, Brenda D. (American Society for Microbiology, 2021-12)Sexual development in filamentous fungi is a complex process that relies on the precise control of and interaction between a variety of genetic networks and pathways. The mating-type (MAT) genes are the master regulators ...

Aylward, Janneke; Steenkamp, Emma Theodora; Dreyer, Leanne Laurette; Roets, Francois; Wingfield, Brenda D.; Wingfield, Michael J. (BioMed Central, 2016-02-29)Two closely related ophiostomatoid fungi, Knoxdaviesia capensis and K. proteae, inhabit the fruiting structures of certain Protea species indigenous to southern Africa. Although K. capensis occurs in several Protea hosts, ...

Maphosa, Mkhululi N.; Steenkamp, Emma Theodora; Wingfield, Brenda D. (Genetics Society of America, 2016-03)Fusarium circinatum is an important pathogen of pine trees and its management in the commercial forestry environment relies largely on early detection, particularly in seedling nurseries. The fact that the entire genome ...

Van Wyk, Stephanie; Wingfield, Brenda D.; De Vos, Lieschen; Van der Merwe, Nicolaas Albertus (Albie); Steenkamp, Emma Theodora (Frontiers Media, 2021-02)The Repeat-Induced Point (RIP) mutation pathway is a fungus-specific genome defense mechanism that mitigates the deleterious consequences of repeated genomic regions and transposable elements (TEs). RIP mutates targeted ...
