Pseudocercospora fijiensis Conidial Germination Is Dominated by Pathogenicity Factors and Effectors [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Conidia play a vital role in the survival and rapid spread of fungi. Many biological processes of conidia, such as adhesion, signal transduction, the regulation of oxidative stress, and autophagy, have been well studied.
