Functional analysis of the <i>Alternaria brassicicola</i> non‐ribosomal peptide synthetase gene <i>AbNPS2</i> reveals a role in conidial cell wall construction
27 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
SUMMARY Alternaria brassicicola is a necrotrophic pathogen causing black spot disease on virtually all cultivated Brassica crops worldwide. In many plant pathosystems fungal secondary metabolites derived from non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NPSs) are phytotoxic virulence factors or are antibiotics thought to be important for niche competition with other micro-organisms. However, many of the functions of NPS...
