The ABC Transporter MgAtr4 Is a Virulence Factor of <i>Mycosphaerella graminicola</i> that Affects Colonization of Substomatal Cavities in Wheat Leaves
1 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
The role in virulence of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters MgAtr1, MgAtr2, MgAtr3, MgAtr4, and MgAtr5 from Mycosphaerella graminicola was analyzed by gene disruption or replacement on seedlings of the susceptible wheat cultivar Obelisk. Disruption strains of MgAtr1 and MgAtr2 and replacement strains of MgAtr3 and MgAtr5 displayed the same phenotype as control strains, while virulence of the MgAtr4...
