HapX, an Indispensable bZIP Transcription Factor for Iron Acquisition, Regulates Infection Initiation by Orchestrating Conidial Oleic Acid Homeostasis and Cytomembrane Functionality in Mycopathogen <named-content content-type="genus-species">Beauveria bassiana</named-content>
ABSTRACT In pathogenic filamentous fungi, conidial germination not only is fundamental for propagation in the environment but is also a critical step of infection. In the insect mycopathogen Beauveria bassiana, we genetically characterized the role of the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription fa...
