Abstract excerpt
Superoxide dismutases are key enzymes in elimination of the superoxide anion radical (O2 •- ) generated intracellularly or by exogenous oxidative stress eliciting agents, like menadione. In this study, we investigated the physiological role of the manganese superoxide dismutase-encoding gene in Fusarium verticillioides via the construction of a gene deletion mutant, ΔFvmnSOD and comparing its phenotype with that...
