Phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase MoPct1 is crucial for vegetative growth, conidiation, and appressorium-mediated plant infection by Magnaporthe oryzae

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) plays crucial biological roles in eukaryotic cells. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, apart from phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) methylation pathway, PC is also synthesized via CDP–choline pathway. Phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase Pct1 is the rate-limiting enzyme to catalyze the...
