Overexpression of a 3-Ketoacyl-CoA Thiolase in Leptosphaeria maculans Causes Reduced Pathogenicity on Brassica napus

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated random mutagenesis was used to generate insertional mutants of the fungus Leptosphaeria maculans. Of 91 transformants screened, only one (A3) produced lesions of reduced size on cotyledons of canola (Brassica napus). Genes flanking the T-DNA insertion had the best...
