A Tannic Acid–Inducible and Hypoviral-Regulated Laccase3 Contributes to the Virulence of the Chestnut Blight Fungus Cryphonectria parasitica

A new laccase gene (lac3) from the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica was induced by the presence of tannic acid, which is abundant in the bark of chestnut trees and is assumed to be one of the major barriers against pathogen infection.
