The general transcriptional repressor Tup1 is required for dimorphism and virulence in a fungal plant pathogen.
A critical step in the life cycle of many fungal pathogens is the transition between yeast-like growth and the formation of filamentous structures, a process known as dimorphism. This morphological shift, typically triggered by multiple environmental signals, is tightly controlled by complex genetic...
