Abstract excerpt
Fusaric acid (FA) is a key component in virulence and symptom development in cotton during infection by Fusarium oxysporum. A putative major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporter gene was identified downstream of the polyketide synthase gene responsible for the biosynthesis of FA in a region previously believed to be unrelated to the known FA gene cluster. Disruption of the transporter gene, designated FUBT,...
