Phylogenetic diversity of stress signalling pathways in fungi
21 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Microbes must sense environmental stresses, transduce these signals and mount protective responses to survive in hostile environments. In this study we have tested the hypothesis that fungal stress signalling pathways have evolved rapidly in a niche-specific fashion that is independent of phylogeny. To test this hypothesis we have compared the conservation of stress signalling molecules in diverse...
