The small GTPase Rac and the p21‐activated kinase Cla4 in Claviceps purpurea: interaction and impact on polarity, development and pathogenicity

19 Feb 2008

Abstract excerpt

Claviceps purpurea, the ergot fungus, is a highly specialized pathogen of grasses; its colonization of host ovarian tissue requires an extended period of strictly polarized, oriented growth towards the vascular tissue. To understand this process, we study the role of signalling factors affecting polarity and differentiation. We showed that the small GTPase Cdc42 is involved in polarity, sporulation and in planta...
