Chitin Synthase Genes Are Differentially Required for Growth, Stress Response, and Virulence in <i>Verticillium dahliae</i>
Crop wilt disease caused by <i>Verticillium dahliae</i> usually leads to serious yield loss. Chitin, an important component of most fungal cell walls, functions to maintain the rigidity of cell walls and septa. Chitin synthesis mainly relies on the activity of chitin synthase (CHS). Eigh...
