Disruption of a phytochrome-like histidine kinase gene by homologous recombination leads to a significant reduction in vegetative growth, sclerotia production, and the pathogenicity of Botrytis cinerea

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Phytochrome-like histidine kinases are photoreceptors that help a wide variety of bacteria and fungi perceive environmental light. In this study, a putative histidine kinase gene Bcphy3 from Botrytis cinerea was disrupted, and a Bcphy3 mutant ΔBcphy3-P21 was obtained. This mutant formed smaller colonies on PDA media compared to the wild-type strain Bc05.10 (approximately 70% of Bc05.10), indicating that the absenc...
