A Decarboxylase Encoded at the Cochliobolus heterostrophus Translocation-Associated Tox1B Locus Is Required for Polyketide (T-toxin) Biosynthesis and High Virulence on T-cytoplasm Maize
Genes at two unlinked loci (Tox1A and Tox1B) are required for production of the polyketide T-toxin by Cochliobolus heterostrophus race T, a pathogenic fungus that requires T-toxin for high virulence to maize with T-cytoplasm. Previous work indicated that Tox1A encodes a polyketide synthase (PKS1) re...
