Host range of a plant pathogenic fungus determined by a saponin detoxifying enzyme.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 20 Jan 1995

Bowyer P, Clarke B R, Lunness P, Daniels M J, Osbourn A E

Abstract excerpt

Antifungal saponins occur in many plant species and may provide a preformed chemical barrier to attack by phytopathogenic fungi. Some fungal pathogens can enzymatically detoxify host plant saponins, which suggests that saponin detoxification may determine the host range of these fungi. A gene encoding a saponin detoxifying enzyme was cloned from the cereal-infecting fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis. Fungal mutants...
