A polyketide synthase from Verticillium dahliae modulates melanin biosynthesis and hyphal growth to promote virulence

Abstract Background During the disease cycle, plant pathogenic fungi exhibit a morphological transition between hyphal growth (the phase of active infection) and the production of long-term survival structures that remain dormant during “overwintering.” Verticillium dahliae is a major plant pathogen...
