Abstract excerpt
The ergosterol biosynthesis pathway is well characterized in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, while little is known about the pathway in filamentous fungi. In this study, we isolated and genetically documented biological functions of FgErg3 and FgErg5, which are located upstream of FgErg4, the enzyme catalyzing the final step of ergosterol synthesis in Fusarium graminearum. Our results demonstrated that F. graminearum...
