PAL1 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FgPAL1 (FGRAMPH1_01G10671) on chromosome 2 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a Pal1-domain-containing protein. The gene is associated with nitrogen fixation, perithecium formation, defense response, spore germination, sexual reproduction, ascospore formation, nuclear division, cytokinesis, meiosis, mitosis, and morphogenesis. Its product localizes to sites of polarized growth, the medial ring, cell tips, cell division sites, the plasmalemma, and the cytoplasm. FgPAL1 is also linked to chlorophyll content. Related genes in other species encode Pal1 cell morphology proteins.
