The Growth, Pathogenesis, and Secondary Metabolism of Fusarium verticillioides Are Epigenetically Modulated by Putative Heterochromatin Protein 1 (FvHP1)

Abstract excerpt

Fusarium verticillioides is a globally prevalent phytopathogenic fungus responsible for multiple diseases in maize and a major producer of the mycotoxin fumonisin B1 (FB1), a highly toxic fungal secondary metabolite (FSM). The histone code, which includes reversible modifications such as acetylation and methylation, plays a critical role in regulating chromatin structure and gene expression. In fungi, di- and...
