Abstract excerpt
cAMP is involved in signaling appressorium formation in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea. However, null mutations in a protein kinase A (PKA) catalytic subunit gene, CPKA, do not block appressorium formation, and mutations in the adenylate cyclase gene have pleiotropic effects on growth, conidiation, sexual development, and appressorium formation. Thus, cAMP signaling plays roles in both growth and...
