Abstract excerpt
Following Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated mutagenesis in Leptosphaeria maculans, we identified the mutant 210, displaying total loss of pathogenicity towards its host plant (Brassica napus). Microscopic observations showed that m210 is unable to germinate on the host leaf surface and is thus blocked at the pre-penetration stage. The pathogenicity phenotype is linked with a single T-DNA insertion into the...
