Abstract excerpt
Infection by Colletotrichum lagenarium requires formation of an appressorium and of a penetration peg. A mutant, 83,348, defective in morphogenesis of the penetration peg was unable to penetrate into cellulose membranes or infect cucumber leaves. DNA transformation using a wild-type genomic library constructed in pKVB resulted in two transformants, Ppr1 and Ppr2, with restored penetration peg formation, from...
