A Putative Transcription Factor MYT1 Is Required for Female Fertility in the Ascomycete Gibberella zeae
3 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
Gibberella zeae is an important pathogen of major cereal crops. The fungus produces ascospores that forcibly discharge from mature fruiting bodies, which serve as the primary inocula for disease epidemics. In this study, we characterized an insertional mutant Z39P105 with a defect in sexual development and identified a gene encoding a putative transcription factor designated as MYT1. This gene contains a Myb...
