Targeted disruption of a G protein α subunit gene results in reduced growth and pathogenicity in Rhizoctonia solani

2008-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Cloning and disruption of Rga1, the gene encoding the G protein α subunit in the rice sheath blight fungus Rhizoctonia solani, was investigated. The deduced primary structure of the Rga1-encoded protein showed high identity to those of Gα subunits from other filamentous fungi. Disruption of Rga1 led to decreased vegetative growth and pathogenicity. The Rga1 disruptant showed altered colony morphology. In addition,...
