Abstract excerpt
The functional relationship between fungal hydrophobins was studied by complementation analysis of an mpg1(-) gene disruption mutant in Magnaporthe grisea. MPG1 encodes a hydrophobin required for full pathogenicity of the fungus, efficient elaboration of its infection structures and conidial rodlet protein production. Seven heterologous hydrophobin genes were selected which play distinct roles in conidiogenesis,...
