ABSTRACT
The ability of transposon impala to inactivate genes involved in pathogenicity was tested Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis. Somatic excision an copy inserted the nitrate reductase-encoding niaD gene positively selected through a phenotypic assay based on restoration reductase activity. Independent events were analyzed molecularly and shown carry reinsertedimpala more than 70% cases. Mapping reinserted elements large NotI-restriction fragments showed that transposes randomly. By screening 746 revertants plants, high proportion (3.5%) mutants impaired their pathogenic potential recovered. According kinetics wilt symptom development, strains clustered three classes: class 1 grouped two never induced symptoms host plant; 2 3 15 9 which caused 50 30 days after inoculation, respectively. first results demonstrate efficiency transposition generating affected pathogenicity, are usually difficult obtain by classical mutagenesis, open possibility clone altered with as tag.
