Abstract excerpt
Fusarium graminearum causes Fusarium head blight (FHB), a devastating wheat disease that threatens global food security and safety. Nuclear Dbf2-related (NDR) kinases regulate cellular morphogenesis, but their roles in phytopathogenic fungi remain elusive. Here, we characterized F. graminearum NDR kinase FgCot1, whose deletion severely disrupted vegetative growth, conidiation, polarized growth and pathogenicity....
