A winged-helix DNA-binding protein is essential for self-fertility during sexual development of the homothallic fungus Fusarium graminearum

ABSTRACT Sexual reproduction is crucial for increasing the genetic diversity of populations and providing overwintering structures, such as perithecia and associated tissue, in the destructive plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum. While mating-type genes serve as master regulators in fungal...
