Targeted Disruption of a Fungal G-Protein β Subunit Gene Results in Increased Vegetative Growth but Reduced Virulence
Targeted disruption of two G-protein α subunit genes in the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica revealed roles for the Giα subunit CPG-1 in fungal reproduction, virulence, and vegetative growth. A second Gα subunit, CPG-2, was found to be dispensable for these functions. We now report th...
