Abstract excerpt
Obligate biotrophic powdery mildew (PM) fungi strictly require living hosts to survive. To search for host factors or processes essential for PM pathogenesis, we conducted a tailored forward genetic screen with the immunocompromised eds1-2/pad4-1/sid2-2 (eps) triple Arabidopsis mutant. This led to the identification of 5 allelic disruptive mutations in Mildew Locus O 2 (MLO2) that are responsible for the...
