Maize diterpenoid sensing via Ste3 a-pheromone receptor and rapid germination of <i>Colletotrichum graminicola</i> oval conidia facilitating root infection
2024-04-05
Abstract excerpt
Most plant pathogenic microorganisms have evolved to infect distinct host tissues. The maize anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum graminicola is known for its ability to invade above-ground tissues with asexual falcate conidia. In addition, C. graminicola produces a second asexual spore type, oval conidia. This study investigates the specific adaptations that make oval conidia suitable for maize root infection, dem...
