Role of the Transcriptional Activator XlnR of Fusarium oxysporum in Regulation of Xylanase Genes and Virulence

Fungal infection of plants involves degradation of the host cell wall through the action of lytic enzymes secreted by the pathogen. The role of these enzymes in virulence is difficult to determine due to their functional redundancy and, therefore, remains controversial. Here, we have studied XlnR, a...
