Involvement of the anucleate primary sterigmata protein FgApsB in vegetative differentiation, asexual development, nuclear migration, and virulence in Fusarium graminearum.

Abstract excerpt

The protein ApsB has been shown to play critical roles in the migration and positioning of nuclei and in the development of conidiophores in Aspergillus nidulans. The functions of ApsB in Fusarium graminearum, a causal agent of Fusarium head blight in China, are largely unknown. In this study, we used the blastp program at the Broad Institute to identify FgApsB, an F. graminearum homolog of A. nidulansApsB. The...
