Abstract excerpt
Type II myosin is required for cytokinesis/septation in yeast and filamentous fungi, including Fusarium graminearum, a prevalent cause of Fusarium head blight in China. A type II myosin gene from the Chinese F. graminearum strain 5035, isolated from infected wheat spikes, was identified by screening a mutant library generated by restriction enzyme-mediated integration. Disruption of the Myo2 gene reduced mycelial...
