Dihydroxyhexanoic acid biosynthesis controls turgor in pathogenic fungi

2024-08-09

Abstract excerpt

Many plant pathogenic fungi penetrate host surfaces mechanically, using turgor pressure generated by appressoria, specialized infection cells. These appressoria develop semipermeable cell walls and accumulate osmolytes internally to create turgor by osmosis. While melanin is known to be important for turgor generation, the mechanism for wall semipermeability has remained unclear. Here we identify PKS2 and PBG13...
