Abstract excerpt
The maize pathotype Cochliobolus lunatus causes Curvularia leaf spot by producing a non-host-specific toxin known as methyl 5-(hydroxymethyl) furan-2-carboxylate (M5HF2C). However, related research that explores the genes that control the production of this toxin is rare. In the current work, Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT) was employed to tag the gene required for the biosynthesis of the...
