Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation CfGti1 was strongly expressed in conidia and early infection.
- Intervention effect Deleting CfGti1 removed C. fructicola pathogenicity on apple leaves by blocking appressorium-mediated penetration.
- Observation The mutant still developed penetration pegs on cellophane.
- Intervention effect ΔCfGti1 hyphal extension in wounded apple fruit dramatically decreased.
- Observation The mutant showed defects in hyphal growth and development.
- Mechanism CfGti1 may regulate penetration through genes involved in appressorial lipid-droplet metabolism.
- Observation CfGti1 regulated expression of ybtS and AKT1 or AFT1-1 linked to host-specific toxin biosynthesis.
- Mechanism CfGti1 is a pivotal regulator of apple GLS pathogenesis.
