DEF1 — Fusarium oxysporum Fo47

Summary

FoDEF1 (FOZG_01477) from Fusarium oxysporum Fo47 encodes a protein containing a SANT/Myb domain and a Homeobox-like superfamily domain. The gene is associated with induced systemic resistance. FoDEF1 shows differential expression between in vitro growth and 24 hours post-inoculation. Studies of related genes in other species link the SANT/Myb family to transcriptional regulation, though these associations are not yet established for FoDEF1 itself. The gene is located on chromosome JH717896 of the Fo47 genome.
