<i>Sanctuary</i> : A <i>Starship</i> transposon facilitating the movement of the virulence factor ToxA in fungal wheat pathogens
2024-03-08
Abstract excerpt
There is increasing evidence that mobile genetic elements can drive the emergence of pathogenic fungal species by moving virulence genes horizontally. The 14 kbp ToxhAT transposon has been shown to be moving the necrotrophic effector, ToxA, horizontally between fungal species that infect Triticum aestivum (wheat), namely Parastagonospora nodorum , Pyrenophora tritici-repentis , and Bipolaris sorokiniana . Al...
