Abstract:The pathogen Verticillium dahliae causes Verticillium wilt in a number of crops, including cotton Verticillium wilt. Chaetoviridin A, a secondary metabolite of Chaetomium globosum, significantly inhibits the growth of V. dahliae. Spore germination is a major part of the disease cycle. However, the molecular mechanism of chaetoviridin A inhibiting spore germination of V. dahliae is unknown. In this work, we found that chaetoviridin A significantly inhibited spore germination of V. dahliae. Transcriptome analysi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
