The homeobox transcription factor CoHox1 is required for the morphogenesis of infection hyphae in host plants and pathogenicity in Colletotrichum orbiculare
2018-11-01
Abstract excerpt
The hemibiotrophic fungus Colletotrichum orbiculare is the causal agent of anthracnose of cucumber. During host plant infection, appressoria penetrate into the host cells, and biotrophic infection hyphae elongate inside the host cells, then switch to necrotrophic phase. We found that the homeobox transcription factor CoHox1 is a novel type of pathogenesis-related gene. CoHox1 disruption mutants of C. orbiculare we...
