Down‐regulation of cladofulvin biosynthesis is required for biotrophic growth of Cladosporium fulvum on tomato
20 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
Fungal biotrophy is associated with a reduced capacity to produce potentially toxic secondary metabolites (SMs). Yet, the genome of the biotrophic plant pathogen Cladosporium fulvum contains many SM biosynthetic gene clusters, with several related to toxin production. These gene clusters are, however, poorly expressed during the colonization of tomato. The sole detectable SM produced by C. fulvum during in vitro...
