A fungal phosphate starvation regulator gates virulence to prioritize nutrient adaptation in response to host phosphate status

2026-03-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Plant-associated microbes must constantly balance environmental adaptation with virulence to survive in fluctuating ecosystems, yet the molecular mechanisms coupling these processes remain poorly understood. Here, we identify NUTRIENT-DEPENDENT FACILITATOR OF COLONIZATION1 ( NFC1 ), a virulence factor in a conditionally pathogenic Colletotrichum tofieldiae strain, whose expression is tightly...
