The G-protein subunits FGA2 and FGB1 play distinct roles in development and pathogenicity in the banana fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense

Abstract excerpt
The soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense causes banana (Musa spp.) vascular wilt. Here, we examine the roles of G-protein α and β subunit genes fga2 and fgb1 in F. oxysporum development and pathogenicity. Deletion of either or both genes led to increased heat resistance, lower cAMP levels, and enhanced pigmentation, whereas phenotypic defects of colony morphology and reduced conidiation were seen in...
