Coordinated Regulation of Fungal Development and
Secondary Metabolism during Pathogenesis
1:00 – 3:30 p.m.; B110-112
Section: Biology of Pathogens
Organizers: Won-Bo Shim, Texas A&M University, College
Station, TX, U.S.A.; Burt Bluhm, University of Arkansas,
Fayetteville, AR, U.S.A.
Moderator: Won-Bo Shim, Texas A&M University, College
Station, TX, U.S.A.
Sponsoring Committees: Mycotoxicology; Molecular &
Cellular Phytopathology
Recently, a clearer understanding has begun to emerge
regarding fungal development in the context of plant
colonization. Specifically, exciting new information on fungal
morphogenesis and secondary metabolism during pathogenesis
has come to light. Accumulating evidence also suggests that
host and environmental factors play important roles in the
regulation. This session will highlight the current state of
knowledge in this complex area of investigation.
