Abstract:Understanding the interactions between fungal plant pathogens and host roots is crucial for developing effective disease management strategies. This study investigates the molecular mechanisms underpinning the chemotropic responses of the maize anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum graminicola to maize root exudates. Combining the generation of a deletion mutant with monitoring of disease symptom development and detailed analysis of chemotropic growth using a 3D-printed device, we identify the 7-transmembrane G-pr… Show more
