<i>Phytophthora capsici</i> sterol reductase PcDHCR7 has a role in mycelium development and pathogenicity
2021-04-17
Abstract excerpt
The de novo biosynthesis of sterols is critical for eukaryotes, however, some organisms lack this pathway including most oomycetes. Phytophthora spp. are sterol auxotroph but remarkably, have retained a few genes encoding enzymes in the sterol biosynthesis pathway. Here we investigated the function of PcDHCR7 , a gene in Phytophthora capsici predicted to encode the △7-sterol reductase. When expressed in Sacch...
