Identification of genes expressed during cercosporin biosynthesis in Cercospora zeae-maydis
2002-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Gray leaf spot, caused by the fungus Cercospora zeae-maydis, is the most destructive foliar disease of maize in the United States. However, little is known about the biochemical and molecular events of pathogenesis. C. zeae-maydis produces cercosporin, a phytotoxin shown to be a virulence factor in diseases caused by other Cercospora species. To identify genes involved in cercosporin biosynthesis and ultimately de...
