mpl1 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G17287, designated mpl1 on chromosome 3 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1, encodes the protein FGRAMPH1_01T17287-P1. The gene is associated with the adiposome based on ontology annotation. The mpl1 gene is linked to the CAP20 protein family. Studies of related genes in other species, identified through sequence similarity, connect the mpl1 family to loss of pathogenicity and associations with plant hosts including avocado, tomato, and fungal pathogens such as Verticillium dahliae and Fusarium oxysporum formae speciales, as well as the disease anthracnose.
