Our approach included using genomic and transcriptomic data from a Colombian <i>P. palmivora</i> isolate alongside the coexpression network of a substantial effector dataset. From this analysis, ten candidate effectors were selected, characterized, and evaluated for their ability to suppress PCD in oil palm leaflets through transient expression via biolistics. Several effectors exhibited significant anti-PCD activity in susceptible and less susceptible oil palm genotypes. Notably, the effectors Avr3F (689), RxLR (1540), and RxLR (1546) demonstrated suppression of PCD in both genotypes, while the other effectors played variable roles in PCD regulation. Phylogenetic analysis further identified distinct clades among the effectors, possibly associated with their functional activities. Additionally, specific motifs, such as RXLR-dEER, K, and Y, appeared to correlate with PCD suppression. This research enhances our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between <i>P. palmivora</i> effectors and oil palm host responses, highlighting these proteins' genotype-specific regulation of PCD.

The increasing resistance of <i>Candida</i> spp. and the limited availability of effective treatments have prompted the research of natural compounds as alternative therapies. This study assessed the antifungal properties of RA against <i>Candida</i> species, focusing on its impact on <i>C. albican</i>s biofilms and the underlying mechanisms. The antifungal efficacy of RA was evaluated using the CLSI M27-A3 microdilution method on both fluconazole-susceptible and -resistant strains. Biofilm formation by <i>C. albicans</i> was assessed through a crystal violet assay, while its antibiofilm activity was analyzed using an MTT assay and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Gene expression related to biofilm formation was studied using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and statistical analysis was performed with an ANOVA. Among the 28 <i>Candida</i> strains tested, RA exhibited minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 160 to 1280 μg/mL. At a 640 μg/mL concentration, it significantly reduced the expression of genes associated with adhesion (<i>ALS3</i>, <i>HWP1</i>, and <i>ECE1</i>), hyphal development (<i>UME6</i> and <i>HGC1</i>), and hyphal cAMP-dependent protein kinase regulators (<i>CYR1</i>, <i>RAS1</i>, and <i>EFG1</i>) in RAS1-cAMP-EFG1 pathway (<i>p</i> < 0.05). FESEM analysis revealed a reduction in hyphal networks and disruptions on the cell surface. Our study is the first to demonstrate the effects of RA on <i>C. albicans</i> adhesion, hyphae development, and biofilm formation through gene expression analysis with findings supported by FESEM.

To highlight the ability of fungi to produce structurally diverse NPs, this article focuses on the impact of genome mining and CRISPR-Cas9 technology in uncovering and manipulating the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) responsible for NP synthesis. The CRISPR-Cas9 system, originally identified as a bacterial adaptive immune mechanism, has been adapted for precise genome editing in fungi, enabling targeted modifications, such as gene deletions, insertions, and transcription modulation, without altering the genomic sequence. This review elaborates on various CRISPR-Cas9 systems used in fungi, notably the <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i> type II Cas9 system, and explores advancements in different Cas proteins for fungal genome editing. This review discusses the methodologies employed in CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing of fungi, including guide RNA design, delivery methods, and verification of edited strains. The application of CRISPR-Cas9 has led to enhanced production of secondary metabolites in filamentous fungi, showcasing the potential of this system in biotechnology, medical mycology, and plant pathology. Moreover, this article emphasizes the integration of multi-omics data (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) to validate CRISPR-Cas9 editing effects in fungi. This comprehensive approach aids in understanding molecular changes, identifying off-target effects, and optimizing the editing protocols. Statistical and machine learning techniques are also crucial for analyzing multi-omics data, enabling the development of predictive models and identification of key molecular pathways affected by CRISPR-Cas9 editing. In conclusion, CRISPR-Cas9 technology is a powerful tool for exploring fungal NPs with the potential to accelerate the discovery of novel bioactive compounds.
