Fungal hyphal chemotropism has been shown to be a major contributor host-pathogen interactions. Previous studies on Fusarium species have highlighted the involvement of Ste2 G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) in mediating polarized growth toward host-released peroxidase. Here, role opposite mating type GPCR, Ste3, is characterized with respect graminearum and pathogenicity.
Genetic studies have shown that the MAP kinase MGV1 and transcriptional regulator TRI6 regulate many of same biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in
