Paralogous Cyp51s mediate the differential sensitivity of <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> to sterol demethylation inhibitors
22 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: As a soilborne fungus, Fusarium oxysporum can cause vascular wilt in numerous economically important crops. Application of antifungal drugs is the primary method for the control of F. oxysporum. Cyp51, a key enzyme of sterol biosynthesis is the main target of sterol demethylation inhibitors. RESULTS: The F. oxysporum genome contains three paralogous CYP51 genes (named FoCYP51A, FoCYP51B and FoCYP51C)...
