System‐wide characterization of bZIP transcription factor proteins involved in infection‐related morphogenesis of M agnaporthe oryzae
4 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain-containing transcription factors (TFs) function as key regulators of cellular growth and differentiation in eukaryotic organisms including fungi. We have previously identified MoAp1 and MoAtf1 as bZIP TFs in Magnaporthe oryzae and demonstrated that they regulate the oxidative stress response and are critical in conidiogenesis and pathogenicity. Studies of bZIP proteins could...
