TRI10 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G13113 (TRI10) on chromosome 2 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a transcriptional co-regulator with DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific, and zinc-binding capability. It belongs to the Fun_TF domain family and localises to the nucleus. This gene is associated with asexual and sexual reproduction, hyphal growth, TOR signalling, secondary metabolism, ergosterol and toxin anabolism, pyruvate metabolism, and positive regulation of transcription. It is linked to mycotoxin content and germination rate. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to reduced virulence and fusarium ear blight.
