REMI-induced mutants of Mycosphaerella zeae-maydis lacking the polyketide PM-toxin are deficient in pathogenesis to corn.

1998-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The polyketide PM-toxin, produced byMycosphaerella zeae-maydis, is specifically active against corn containing Texas male sterile (T) cytoplasm, as is the fungus itself. To determine if PM-toxin is required for disease development,Tox−mutants were generated using the restriction enzyme-mediated integration (REMI) strategy, which is designed to tag the mutations it creates. As a mutagenic procedure, REMI was...
