Colletotrichum orbiculare FAM1 Encodes a Novel Woronin Body-Associated Pex22 Peroxin Required for Appressorium-Mediated Plant Infection.
Cucumber anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum orbiculare special form cells called appresoria to penetrate the host. We identified a gene, FAM1, peroxin encoding novel protein that is essential for peroxisome biogenesis and associates with Woronin body (WBS), dense-core vesicles are only found in filamentous ascomycete fungus that serves to maintain cellular integrity. fam1 disrupted mutant can not […]
