Abstract excerpt
A strain harbouring an insertion within the promoter of the CON7 gene of Magnaporthe grisea was isolated. This gene was previously shown to be essential for appressorium formation and growth in planta and is predicted to encode a transcription factor. Microarray-based gene expression analysis was used to identify several genes whose transcription during germination depends on Con7p. These include the...
