Ahn J H, Walton J D
Abstract excerpt
Race 1 isolates of the filamentous fungus Cochliobolus carbonum are exceptionally virulent on certain genotypes of maize due to production of a cyclic tetrapeptide, HC-toxin. In crosses between toxin-producing (Tox2+) and toxin-nonproducing (Tox2-) isolates, toxin production segregates in a simpl...
