Abstract excerpt
Quinofumelin, a quinoline-based fungicide, demonstrated potent antifungal activity against Fusarium graminearum, the pathogen responsible for Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat. Previously, we elucidated that quinofumelin targets dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), an indispensable enzyme in the de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway. To explore its resistance mechanism, five FgDHODHII site-directed mutants...
