Hex1, the Major Component of Woronin Bodies, Is Required for Normal Development, Pathogenicity, and Stress Response in the Plant Pathogenic Fungus <i>Verticillium dahliae</i>

Woronin bodies are membrane-bound organelles of filamentous ascomycetes that mediate hyphal compartmentalization by plugging septal pores upon hyphal damage. Their major component is the peroxisomal protein Hex1, which has also been implicated in additional cellular processes in fungi. Here, we anal...
