Transducin beta-like gene FTL1 is essential for pathogenesis in Fusarium graminearum [PDF]
, 2009 Fusarium head blight caused by Fusarium graminearum is an important disease of wheat and barley. In a previous study, we identified several mutants with reduced virulence by insertional mutagenesis. A transducin beta-like gene named FTL1 was disrupted in
