Three putative oxylipin biosynthetic genes integrate sexual and asexual development in Aspergillus nidulans
1 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Oxylipins called psi factors have been shown to alter the ratio of asexual to sexual sporulation in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans. Analysis of the A. nidulans genome has led to the identification of three fatty acid oxygenases (PpoA, PpoB and PpoC) predicted to produce psi factors. Here, it is reported that deletion of ppoB (DeltappoB) reduced production of the oleic-acid-derived oxylipin psiBbeta...
