Abstract excerpt
We assessed the biological function of CpSlt2, an ortholog of the cell wall integrity (CWI) MAPK of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica. The CpSlt2-null mutant exhibited marked changes in colonial growth, near absence of conidiation and aerial hyphae, and abnormal pigmentation. In addition, the CpSlt2-null mutant exhibited CWI-related phenotypic defects including...
