Abstract excerpt
Homeobox-containing genes are widely described among eukaryotic species other than filamentous ascomycetes. We describe here the isolation and characterization of the first homeobox gene (pah1) identified in a filamentous ascomycete. It encodes a putative protein of 610 amino acids containing a typical homeodomain with 60 amino acids. Deletion of the pah1 gene enhances the number of male gametes (microconidia),...
