Abstract excerpt
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) play important roles in the regulation of vegetative and pathogenic growth in plant pathogens. Here, we identified an SLT2-type MAP kinase in Phytophthora sojae, PsMPK1, which was transcriptionally induced in sporulating hyphae and the early stages of infection. Silencing of PsMPK1 caused defects in growth and zoosporogenesis, and increased hyphal swellings after the...
