Abstract excerpt
Elsinochrome (ESC), produced by the citrus pathogen Elsinoë fawcettii, is a nonhost-selective, light-dependent, polyketide-derived phytotoxin and plays a crucial role for full virulence. The biosynthesis of ESC is regulated by a wide array of environmental stimuli and is primarily governed by the pathway-specific TSF1 transcription regulator whose coding gene is clustered with the EfPKS1 gene encoding a...
