Insertional Mutagenesis and Cloning of the Genes Required for Biosynthesis of the Host-Specific AK-Toxin in the Japanese Pear Pathotype of Alternaria alternata
The Japanese pear pathotype of Alternaria alternata causes black spot of Japanese pear by producing a host-specific toxin known as AK-toxin. Restriction enzyme-mediated integration (REMI) mutagenesis was used to tag genes required for toxin biosynthesis. Protoplasts of a wild-type strain were treate...
