The importance of fungal pectinolytic enzymes in plant invasion, host adaptability and symptom type

2008-01-01

Abstract excerpt

This review describes the extent to which recent works performed in the last decade have clarified the role of different pectinase activities in pathogenicity of fungi responsible for a wide array of diseases. Beyond physiological or biochemical investigations, strategies that have been used include gene cloning and expression studies as well as gene disruption or replacement. Pectinase involvement in fungal disea...
