WSC3 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FgWSC3 (FGRAMPH1_01G18431) on chromosome 3 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a protein containing a WSC carbohydrate-binding domain. This gene is associated with asexual reproduction, the MAPK cascade, and hyphal growth, as indicated by ontology annotations. Studies of related WSC domain-containing proteins in other species link the gene family to cell wall integrity sensing and stress response pathways, though these functions are not yet established for FgWSC3 itself.
