Tomatinase from Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici Is Required for Full Virulence on Tomato Plants
Saponin detoxification enzymes from pathogenic fungi are involved in the infection process of their host plants. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp lycopersici, a tomato pathogen, produces the tomatinase enzyme Tom1, which degrades α-tomatine to less toxic derivates. To study the role of the tom1 gene in the...
