“…These morphological switches enhance pathogenicity by facilitating dispersal within the host and enabling evasion of host immune responses (Nadal et al, 2008;Gauthier, 2015). In other cases, the switch is in the opposite direction, which is mainly the case for plant pathogens (e.g.…”

“…Examples include Taphrina deformans, a common phytopathogen responsible for peach leaf curl, and Ustilago maydis, which is associated with corn smut disease. Once reaching the plant surface, both U. maydis and T. deformans switch from budding yeast to filamentous growth (21). The phenomenon is induced by mating in U. maydis, although not in T. deformans (39,40).…”

“…Following uptake by alveolar macrophages, a large number of fungal transcripts appear that promote adaptation to the new restrictive environment (21). These transcripts induce hyphae to yeast dimorphic transition, cell wall rearrangement, sporulation, and the expression of other possible virulence-effecting genes that alter metabolic pathways.…”

“…The yeast‐to‐hypha transition is critical for the pathogenesis and life cycle of dimorphic fungi (Wanchoo et al ., 2009; Boyce and Adrianopoulos, 2015; Gauthier, 2015; Marcos et al ., 2016). Although signalling pathways related to dimorphic transition are well characterized in the model yeast Candida albicans , the mechanisms are not well defined (Noble et al ., 2017).…”
