The Small Ras Superfamily GTPase Rho4 of the Maize Anthracnose Fungus <i>Colletotrichum graminicola</i> Is Required for β-1,3-glucan Synthesis, Cell Wall Integrity, and Full Virulence

The Small Ras Superfamily GTPase Rho4 of the Maize Anthracnose Fungus <i>Colletotrichum graminicola</i> Is Required for β-1,3-glucan Synthesis, Cell Wall Integrity, and Full Virulence

Small Ras superfamily GTPases are highly conserved regulatory factors of fungal cell wall biosynthesis and morphogenesis. Previous experiments have shown that the Rho4-like protein of the maize anthracnose fungus <i>Colletotrichum graminicola</i>, formerly erroneously annotated as a Rho1...
