The Conserved MAP Kinase MpkB Regulates Development and Sporulation without Affecting Aflatoxin Biosynthesis in Aspergillus flavus
16 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
In eukaryotes, the MAP kinase signaling pathway plays pivotal roles in regulating the expression of genes required for growth, development, and stress response. Here, we deleted the mpkB gene (AFLA_034170), an ortholog of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae FUS3 gene, to characterize its function in Aspergillus flavus, a cosmopolitan, pathogenic, and aflatoxin-producing fungus. Previous studies revealed that MpkB...
