Involvement of Fungal Pectin Methylesterase Activity in the Interaction Between Fusarium graminearum and Wheat

The genome of Fusarium graminearum, the causal agent of Fusarium head blight of wheat, contains two putative pectin methylesterase (PME)-encoding genes. However, when grown in liquid culture containing pectin, F. graminearum produces only a single PME, which was purified and identified. Its encoding...
