Expression Profiles of Genes Encoded by the Supernumerary Chromosome Controlling AM-Toxin Biosynthesis and Pathogenicity in the Apple Pathotype of Alternaria alternata

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2007
The apple pathotype of Alternaria alternata produces host-specific AM-toxin and causes Alternaria blotch of apple. Previously, we cloned two genes, AMT1 and AMT2, required for AM-toxin biosynthesis and found that these genes are encoded by small ...
