Mutation of an Arginine Biosynthesis Gene Causes Reduced Pathogenicity in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis

Mutation of an Arginine Biosynthesis Gene Causes Reduced Pathogenicity in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis

Restriction enzyme-mediated integration (REMI) mutagenesis was used to tag genes required for pathogenicity of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis. Of the 1,129 REMI transformants tested, 13 showed reduced pathogenicity on susceptible melon cultivars. One of the mutants, FMMP95–1, was an arginine auxo...
