A Polyketide Synthase Gene, ACRTS2, Is Responsible for Biosynthesis of Host-Selective ACR-Toxin in the Rough Lemon Pathotype of Alternaria alternata

The rough lemon pathotype of Alternaria alternata produces host-selective ACR-toxin and causes Alternaria leaf spot disease of rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri). The structure of ACR-toxin I (MW = 496) consists of a polyketide with an α-dihydropyrone ring in a 19-carbon polyalcohol. Genes responsible fo...
