Pyrenophora bromi, Causal Agent of Brownspot of Bromegrass, Expresses a Gene Encoding a Protein with Homology and Similar Activity to Ptr ToxB, a Host-Selective Toxin of Wheat

Ptr ToxB, encoded by ToxB, is one of multiple host-selective toxins (HST) produced by the wheat pathogen Pyrenophora tritici-repentis. Homologs of ToxB are found in several ascomycetes, including sister species Pyrenophora bromi, causal agent of brownspot of bromegrass. Due to the close evolutionary...
