Quantification of ToxB gene expression and formation of appressoria by isolates of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis differing in pathogenicity
2008-08-01
Abstract excerpt
Tan spot, caused by the fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is an important foliar disease of wheat. The pathogen produces at least three host-specific toxins, including Ptr ToxB, a 6·6 kDa protein that causes chlorosis in sensitive wheat genotypes and is encoded by the ToxB gene. Using quantitative reverse transcriptase (qRT)-PCR, transcript levels of ToxB homologues found in virulent ([identical with] pathogeni...
