Fusarium oxysporum gas1 Encodes a Putative β-1, 3-Glucanosyltransferase Required for Virulence on Tomato Plants

Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored (β)-1,3-glucanosyltransferases play active roles in fungal cell wall biosynthesis and morphogenesis and have been implicated in virulence on mammals. The role of β-1,3-glucanosyltransferases in pathogenesis to plants has not been explored so far. Here, we report...
