Abstract excerpt

A gene encoding a sixth chitin synthase (Umchs6, sequence GenBank accession No. ) from the plant pathogenic hemibasidiomycete Ustilago maydis (DC.) Cda. was isolated and characterized. The predicted protein is 1103 amino acids in length with a calculated molecular mass of 123.5 kDa. a2b2 null mutants were obtained by substitution of a central fragment of the Umchs6 gene with the hygromycin resistance cassette,...
