Abstract excerpt

Targeted disruption of cpg-1, a gene encoding the G protein Gi alpha subunit, CPG-1, in the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, results in reduced mycelial growth, reduced orange pigmentation, loss of virulence, loss of asexual sporulation, and female infertility. We report the deve...
